    Default What do you eat for Thanksgiving?

    In your culture, what does your family traditionally cook for Thankgiving? I'm curious because a girl I know from New Orleans says they eat crawfish casserole and other stuff that I'd never heard of for Thanksgiving!

    We eat:
    Turkey
    Ham
    Green beans
    Mac and cheese
    Pumpkin pie
    Cranberry sauce
    Hot wings
    Sweet tea
    Deviled eggs
    Stuffing

    I just ate a fabulous plate of Tofurkey, orange cranberry relish, gorgonzola cheese mashed potatoes, stuffing, and corn.

    Now I need a nap.

    My family has a whole huge TG feast cooked up...I tend to stick to:

    Dinner Rolls
    Pan-seared bay scallops
    Mixed fruit salad (no whipped cream or anything yucky)
    Peas and Carrots

    Yeah...I'm not exactly a traditional gal.

    Thanks to my Grandma (rest her soul) I haveeee to eat ruffled chips and Dean's french onion dip as a snack before dinner's ready. She always had a big bowl out ready for my sisters and me. We even chose it over cookies!

    My Grandma 99% of the time cooked turkey while my mom would make ham so I'm up for either though my first choice would be turkey. Of course I have to have chunky mashed potatoes and gravy. My Grandma used to make them in the oven so they'd get nice and brown and crusty on top. I didn't like it that way at first but I learned to love them. I'm not a fan of stuffing or sweet potatoes or anything else really.

    Oh, I haveeee to have sweet heavily buttered corn thanks to my Grandma too. My mom would just make the plain corn from the can while my Grandma bought the freezer bag full of corn covered in the butter.....ahhhh. We normally have some sort of biscuit like croissants too. For dessert my Grandma bought almost every pie in the bakery! My favorite was definitely the banana pie. That's the one I remember the most. *drool*

    Mrs. UtahMike is a gourmet cook at Thanksgiving. We have:

    celery stuffed with cheddar cheese, black olives, green olives, sweet pickles
    turkey
    stuffing
    mashed potatoes
    gravy
    cranberries baked with apples, marshmallows, and oatmeal
    yams cooked with a crust of cornflake crumbs and brown sugar
    wild rice casserole with fresh mushrooms
    green bean casserole with cheddar cheese french fried onions crust
    rolls, butter
    pumpkin pie
    Blue Moon beer

    Yum. Same thing next month for Christmas.

    Leftover turkey gets made into sandwiches, a turkey salad with cashews, and turkey enchiladas. Leftover wild rice or stuffing is great for breakfast folded into an omelet.

    Tomorrow, I have to go walk it off.

    We get like the whole menu from Boston Market and a Honey Baked Ham, wish I was at my parents though, they cook the whole deal from scratch and my mom's stuffing is the best.
