While visiting my friend Dan outside of DC, we shared many meals with his inlaws who were visiting for American Thanksgiving. His father-in-law knew some Friesen – a gaelic language from the Netherlands. “Dat het sucamaya” (how it sounds) is something you would say before a meal just like bon appetit (that’s how it was described to me).
