I see green bean casserole on my table ANY TIME of year; it goes in the trash. My wife KNOWS better.
Homemade cranberry sauce! Once you eat it you’ll never buy another can again!................
“overland camping trek.”
Fun! Where you off to? For how long? Tent or RV?
Maybe SHE likes it?
If you have not had them in a long while....
About 30 years ago, a Dutch scientist identified the chemicals that made brussels sprouts bitter. He selected seed varieties with lower levels of the bitter chemicals and bred new high-yielding varieties that tasted less bitter.
The best way to describe brussel sprouts is that they smell like a frat of themselves. Sometimes I find brussels sprouts palatable depending on how they’re cooked and spiced.
THE ONE SOMEONE ELSE PREPARES-—
Decades ago, I heard on the radio a story-teller talking about his Italian family Thanksgiving dinner. He was telling his friend about lasagna, cannoli, capicola, Prosciutto, etc. His friend cut him off ...
“What about turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce?”
“Oh yeah, we have all that stuff too!”
My Dutch-Canadian wife makes an unsurpassed Pecan Pie, and good stuffing. That is sufficient.
Sausage dressing. 😊
******
If people would make that, I would eat that. The dressing usually served where I go is just croutons with celery and chicken broth, just hot goo. Yuck.
Mac and cheese at Thanksgiving is a black thing. I have black relatives and they bring it.
Oyster dressing
Not to brag but I make really good sausage dressing. I make it for myself but everyone loves it.
With no disrespect intended to anyone else....
...no one cooks like the Italians.
Canned cranberry sauce with the ridges.
This thread is now CLOSED!
I tried smoking turkeys in college but not since.

Ever made Mississippi baked beans? I hated baked beans until I ate Mississippi baked beans. Baked beans with onion, country sausage, brown sugar, mustard and ketchup. They are super tasty!
You married well, my ex-wife hated the outdoors.
Or blue cheese dressing, it depends…
“Oyster dressing”
This. In our family, it became Sweet And Sour Green Beans, Corn Pudding, Oyster Dressing, Dressing, Rice and Gravy, Turkey and Gut Gravy(Giblet Gravy). My wife (Appalachian-American) was appalled.
The Fall & Rise Of Reggie Perrin is a classic and truly funny Britcom.
Start with the first episode.
It has an arc.
