Other fine dinner appetizers were the silken lobster-filled ravioli with chanterelles and hazelnuts and a ragout of wild mushrooms.

Although all College dining halls except Adams House are closed on Thanksgiving Day, Food Services has planned a special holiday dinner--including turkey, stuffing, pumpkin pie and mashed potatoes--for the 325 undergraduates expected to feast on Harvard's roast beast...
