A Thanksgiving Word Quiz

We are thankful for obscure words.

Autumn is the season of plummeting temperatures, increasing waistlines, and office and family parties which you'd rather not be a party to. Our quiz is concerned with the flavors of Thanksgiving, and the seasonal changes that accompany this holiday. There are no questions about office parties or family squabbles.
