cracked ^ | 11/20/2020 | Shea

Posted on 11/21/2020 5:45:38 AM PST by mylife

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.

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.

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.

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.

Corn Pudding. Recipe is in a recipe book that came with the Oster blender my parents got as a wedding present in 1955.

Mom made it every Thanksgiving and Christmas and we still have the book and carry on the tradition. Stuff's like corn crack to me.

Also, my wife is of Lithuanian descent and she now has the family recipe for their version of bacon bread, which has proven to be a wonder to anyone who's ever had it. There's never any left.

It is an egg noodle recipe handed down to me directly from my grandmother who came from Thalwil, Switzerland.

Well, my favorite dish was a 5'2" slender blue-eye blonde - literally the girl next door - but that's another story.

One Saturday after we moved to Hollywood during a hike in the Hwd Hills. Kinda reminiscing this morning...

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....

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.
