The thing about sliced tomatoes is that they are out of season, so more expensive than your roots and pumpkins/squashes which can last all winter in a root cellar.
Stuffing otoh is an example of American ingenuity. This is a dish made out of stale bread. All you have to do is save and cube your bread once it starts to go stale.
The whole meal is a lesson in how to thrive in hard times.
And bacon is a lot more expensive then turkey.
