I like doing different dressing/stuffing, added oysters one year after I saw that classic first Thanksgiving image and there were oyster shells all around. Did it just once.

SQUANTO: Here. You eat these for celebration.

PILGRIM: Uhhh...Thank you! (hands them to wife and whispers “Bury these in the garden and plant the corn on top-that way he’ll never see that we threw them out!”)

Ahahahahahaaha! Love it!

Saw a pic of jellied eel. Sticking with turkey & dressing, thank you very much.

My in-laws make this nasty oyster dressing every year. I finally got them to make cornbread dressing too after I started bringing my own. Yuck. That oyster dressing looks slimy and gross.

In my Drum Corps days, we once stayed at a high school in Clay City, Ohio. Their mascot was the Eels.

Actually lobsters which were then considered a trash fish, provided critical sustenance to the early settlers in Massachusetts. Also when the Pilgrims landed on Cape Cod they met an English speaking Indian who had dealt with English cod fisherman. Even then facts were never allowed to ruin a good narrative.

Chestnut dressing is the best.

Fresh water eel is my favorite sushi piece…though it is cooked not raw

The Pilgrims were from England, and Squanto spoke perfect English.

English eat eels.................

I don’t think that I have ever had eel. What is the best way to prepare it?

My first time in London, my wife and I being tourists went into Harrod’s Department Store, in the food section of the store, they had eels in gelatin, I would need to be starving to eat eels in gelatin and I’ve eaten a bunch of crazy things in my life.
