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.
NO SAUSAGE
NO OYSTERS
NO MUSHROOMS
I believe this is one of the articles of the Geneva Convention.
Used to add one egg, poultry seasoning, evaporated milk, black pepper,along with the bread, celery and onions,and cook in the bird so the meat drippings soak that delicious concoction. Yum. That and dark or light turkey and skin, and cranberry sauce. Cook cranberries in sugar. All I need.
