If you celebrate Thanksgiving, you probably do it through consuming food. We asked Cracked readers on Facebook, "What Thanksgiving dish is a tradition in your family but might be considered weird to others?" Some responses sounded delicious, others ... not so much. But regardless, we were amazed at how many things Americans can make with some Cool Whip and Jello.

Well yeah, color me surprised.
Anything that defies any stupid quarantine dictate.
Pics and stuff at the link, sorry this was not easily copied and posted, kinda like trying to copy aunt Flo’s lime jello ambrosia..
We don’t have any specific traditions. Last year we had Thanksgiving pizza.
This year it’s venison. Actually, we’re doing it tonight due to work on the part of one of my adult kids.
Turkey stuffed with rice, water chestnuts and Chinese sausage.
Bok choi instead of broccoli.
Watergate Salad ...
My niece and nephew are partial to Watergate Salad — which is not in any way a salad. Or maybe it’s a candy salad. I’ve always contributed that to Thanksgiving.
This year, it’ll just be my sister, BIL, DH, and myself and we’re going to a truck stop for Thanksgiving. We called around and that’s the only place that has bread stuffing instead of cornbread stuffing.
My favorite dish???
Revenge.
Served cold.
But not just for Thanksgiving.
😁
Oyster dressing and shrimp grits.
Does greenbean casserole count?
No, guess not.
Heh, in my house growing up, I suspect any visitor would conclude that we had purchased our bird from a place that genetically bred turkeys to have no skin!
When the turkey leaves the oven to cool, my mother had to post a guard over the turkey to keep us from denuding it buy filching patches of crispy and tasty skin!
It never worked. We always had turkeys arrive at the table with a body that looked like Michael Jackson’s face when he was halfway through bleaching it.

It is an egg noodle recipe handed down to me directly from my grandmother who came from Thalwil, Switzerland.
One Saturday after we moved to Hollywood during a hike in the Hwd Hills. Kinda reminiscing this morning...
Keep em comin, good ideas.
1st time I ever had grits was in SC, I thought it was cream of wheat, I doused it in butter, sugar and milk.
Horrified, my shipmate from GA said what in the hell are you doing? you put butter and black pepper on grits!
I had offended his southern honor with my Yankee foolishness....
LOL!!!!
There were some amazingly gross looking and sounding dishes but I totally understand them. We have nixed the turkey, nobody really likes it and have bbq meat, every kind under the sun. Also deviled eggs which I make, and always always always chocolate meringue pie. This year, with the pie shop I purchase it from closed, I’m going to make it myself. wish me luck.
I love green bean casserole, but only once or twice a year.
“I love green bean casserole,”
I like that OK, but reduce the slime content by about half.
