LordCowCow 839 Posted November 10, 2020 Turkey Day is almost upon us and so I ask of NCM. What Thanksgiving foods are your favorite? Least favorite? Do you have any particular dish you make that's out of the norm or...well, anything related to the food of the holiday I suppose. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
radio414 903 Posted November 10, 2020 I remember my great-aunt had this turkey-shaped cookie cutter that was just the right size for the canned gelatinous cranberry sauce she got so when that came around it would be in these little turkeys and that was always good fun. Don't know what happened to that cookie cutter though. The only other big food-related memory was how I would always forget that I didn't like the sweet-potato-and-marshmallow dish until the next Thanksgiving and then I would swear it off again, a cycle that repeated for a full decade, I think.

Chaos Sonic 442 Posted November 10, 2020 Well, when my dad was alive, my family's Thanksgiving usually dealt with the following: A ham, with cinnamon sticks in it along with them holding up small slices of pineapple on them for some flavor (Some people go with the birds for Thanksgiving, we went with ham cause everyone loves ham) Rolls, better be the King's Hawaiian butter flavored ones Loaded Mashed Potatoes. Like, you know a baked potato? Yeah, we decided to remove the baked portion and just made mashed potatoes, adding sour cream, chives, cheese and bacon and it was amazing Unfortunately, we haven't specifically had that done within the last year. However, this year, we're going a bit south of the border with Thanksgiving food and having Mexican (making tacos and everything). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thar 502 Posted November 11, 2020 Can't really say anything is out of the ordinary for my family's Thanksgiving. We got the usual lineup: Turkey Stuffing (cornbread and regular) Mashed potatoes Green bean casserole Homemade rolls Cranberries (homemade sauce and canned jelly) Corn (regular and creamed) A shit-ton of gravy Might be some others that I forgot, but those are just what I could think of at the top of my head. My personal favorite is the green bean casserole and my least favorite is the cranberries, despite that it used to be my favorite (more specifically the canned stuff.) The corn is a close second favorite, cause I just love corn. Not sure how this year is gonna go, though. My parents are traveling for the next several months and my sisters are 3 hours away, so it depends on what we plan on doing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MetalSonic 86 Posted November 11, 2020 Ham and gravy is definitely my favorite food on Thanksgiving, with the cranberry sauce being my least favorite. Every year though, we have to make two separate bowls of deviled eggs apart from the main plate. I don’t like the yellow part and my sister doesn’t like the egg, so it takes both of us to eat a single egg. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blake 312 Posted November 11, 2020 Cranberry sauce. a good Turkey dinner with gravy, stuffing, and cranberry sauce is good, but the cranberry sauce is the best. Jellied or whole berry. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LordCowCow 839 Posted November 11, 2020 It's kinda funny since it's often mentioned but I've never had green bean casserole Other than that I tend to have the normal fare. Favorite easily being stuffing. We also usually have 3 or 4 different pies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blake 312 Posted November 11, 2020 Just going to bring up the list of YEARLY things my family insisted on. A turkey A ham Chicken and Dumplings Dressing Dressing, made without onion Stove Top Stuffing Sweet Potato Casserole Sweet Potato Casserole, no nuts Sweet Potato Casserole, no nuts or marshmallow Gravy Snap Peas Green Beans Collards Mashed Potatoes Mac and Cheese Deviled Eggs Cranberry Sauce Rolls Banana Pudding Chocolate Cake Strawberry Cake One more dessert that differed And repeat for Christmas and Easter. It’s absurd. Plus more I can’t recall atm. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kazooie 167 Posted November 12, 2020 SO. Turkey totally isn't out of the norm, but one year we had an amazing turkey. It was perfectly moist, not dry at all, evenly cooked. Honey coated with butter and just delicious. It was also the year that we accidentally cooked the turkey upside down the entire time on accident. 10/10 would recommend cooking your turkey upside down on accident.

yui 573 Posted November 14, 2020 (edited) Not a big fan of turkey, but what I am a big fan of is pumpkin pie. Tragically, it seems there's dairy in it, and I've been having some trouble with dairy these last few months. However, I am ready to suffer for the pie, as it is overall one of my favorite foods and only really gets served up once or twice a year. Forgive me, digestive system, but brain and heart have made their decree. Edited November 14, 2020 by yui Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GwenSynth 2 Posted November 15, 2020 My dad makes a great ham every year. We've never really been big on turkey. But I'm really just looking forward to visiting my parents and getting to my mom's cornbread stuffing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
