[The Louiswu]

if you don’t have a big dish of funeral potatoes you might as well not eat

[stuck_in_new_orleans]

Never heard of that. What is it?

[mylife]

Yom!

[Rinnwald]

Washington D.C. - sweet, young ass.

[mylife]

Agreed

I like mashed potatoes, but don’t eat them for Thanksgiving because they just take up room on the plate (and in my stomach) where I can put something I only get at holiday time. I also don’t eat rolls, unless they’re something really special, for the same reason.

hashbrown casserole

[mewzilla]

We have them with cinnamon and butter. And, in my case, a wee bit of brown sugar.

The marshmallow thing just sounds icky to me.

But à chacun son goût.

mashed potatoes and gravy is good bet not best.

[momtothree]

Um.... no. I’ve lived in Maryland my whole life and collard greens? Nope.

[Sacajaweau]

How did Cranberries ever get into this feast? Yuk.

Best side...stuffing.

One of the best sides I ever had was baby peas with artichoke hearts. The chances the Pilgrims had that?? LOL

Yes, sweet potatoes mashed with orange juice and butter, smooshed into a casserole dish, topped with marshmallows, and put into the oven until the marshmallows brown. I’m not a huge fan but it’s Mr. Mercat’s favorite. Also, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, stuffing although I don’t use it to stuff the turkey, and my favorite, giblet gravy. Also of course, cranberry sauce and celery. That reminds me… I need to ask the guy who is slaughtering our turkey this weekend to save me some giblets.

I have a lovely stand of young tender collards in my fall garden that are going on the Thanksgiving table and likely Christmas also.

Many might say sweet potatoes, it my family it typically was special cranberry and nut concoction. For me, the veggie of choice is the brussel sprouts, best if in a tasty casserole.

Sweet potatoes with marshmallows in new york.....proves what has been my studied opinion for a long time.....yankees don’t know how to cook what’s good.

Sweet potatoes with marshmallows?! EUW.

Agree. They're gross. Looks like a seagull pooped in the dish. I always pass on that.

Last year, a family member made Paula Deen's sweet potatoes, and they had some sort of brown sugar crunchy topping. It was a huge upgrade.

I'm a Southerner, and my family always had cornbread dressing when I was growing up... there are still good-hearted squabbles about which matriarch made the best.

My wife makes her mother's rice dressing (her Mom RIP was Japanese), and I like it, too.
