:0).... didn’t see that but I can understand it. Part of the fun is getting it out of the can in one whole piece and then slicing 3-4 perfect slices with it for display. A Thanksgiving centerpiece, IMO. :0)

True.....it is difficult.....snx.

The best way to get jellied cranberry sauce out in one piece....
<><>remove one can top completely
<><>turn it over and make an airhole with can opener on bottom
<><>then shake it out from the open top....
<><>should come out with a whosh sound....might need a finger to facilitate.

Turnips are the most disliked for me, after dog p00p.

[Liz]

Think $100.

My mom cooked the way my dad liked it, which the kindest thing I can say was “uninspiring.”

The only people who hate Brussles Sprouts are those who have not had them prepared properly.

Mr mm was in that category. Brussel sprouts stir fried with bacon and onions changed his mind.

His comment was “If we had Brussel sprouts cooked like this when I was a kid, I would have liked them”.

Who on God's green earth does not like mashed potatoes and gravy? My entire family!

Y'all are extraterrestrials, right? Next you'll refuse desert and coffee.

They seem to usually have turkey and ham in Cincinnati Ohio.

I suspect there was lots more pigs than turkeys available some decades in the past.

Interesting. I never run into that here in the Northeast.

Think $100.

I think I’ll try it when the client is paying!

[Scarpetta]

You called it. Polish on my dad’s side and influenced by PA Dutch cuisine in general.

[Liz]

In any case, you will enjoy it.

Wild turkeys were hunted to near extinction in Indiana and reintroduced on the 1980s, lots of them now.

I’m going to go with green bean casserole and mac’n’cheese for yuck factor. I somehow doubt the Pilgrims and Indians ate anything of the kind; whereas they did have pumpkins and cranberries, and maybe some kind of yams. No marshmallows, though.

[Albion Wilde]

seriously? wtf is left, brussel sprouts?

My nan always served rutabagas. To the adults.

The one year my late mother "allowed" me to host Thanksgiving, I made a delicious stuffing with bread, onions, apples, raisins and sausage, and never heard the end of it. Only bread, onions and celery allowed.

I’m not much a fan of cranberry with roasted turkey. Chilled stuff on my hot food—that’s like using chilled mustard or ketchup on hot food.

I think the custom evolved of serving something acidic with a lot of Vitamin C in it to cut the effects of the fats in the meat course; hence, turkey and cranberry, duck with orange sauce, lamb and mint jelly, beef with tomato, fish with lemon... etc.

Maybe you could slip in a little Thanksgiving kraut and some sausages (hey, sausage stuffing is traditional!) as well.
