I am not a huge fan of the thanksgiving foods. I like turkey well enough, but it is best on a sandwich. I love mashed potatoes, but turkey gravy is kind of weak. I like yams. My favorite thing, of course, is pumpkin pie. It is the true reason Thanksgiving was created.

Anything involving sweet potatoes. I like dressing.

I miss my great grandmothers thanksgiving feast. Collard greens, Sweet potatoes, Pineapple ham, and a very tiny turkey because it is thanksgiving. (sometimes that got forgotten to be cut.) Sweet potatoe pie. Key lime pie with meringue. Forget the turkey, If I cook it, I butcher it and turn it into asada.

Grandma's from the south huh? I love candied yams. And I love the fact that there is so much variety--no matter where I have Thanksgiving it seams there is always about 15 things on the table.

This year I will have two Thanksgivings (normal for me)--one at home on Tue. or Wed. and then one on the boat since I go to work at midnight on Wed. Thanksgivings on the boat are cool because you have people from different cultural backgrounds and different parts of the country contributing to the meal.

I am of Scot-Irish Hillbilly stock from the mountains of NC. I do not even really care about turkey.

It was the greens that made me suspect your grandma was from the south. I lived all my life on the west coast and had not eaten any greens other than spinach until for years ago when I started working in the Gulf. Seasoned mustard greens are my favorite. My wife and kids have not come around yet, but I have greens 2-3 times a week when I'm on the boat.

A few years back, I nearly had my mom convinced that we should do homemade pizzas for Thanksgiving. Heh.

***Pauler*** · 11-19-2008, 09:06 PM

oh man...pumpkin pie...it is sooooo delicious. *i just drooled*

Gwenny · 11-20-2008, 07:41 PM

STUFFING!!!!! Oh yeah. I love stuffing.

I also LOVE LOVE LOVE greenbean casserole. I can't get enough of it.

I don't like turkey. Too dry.

We also do ham, which I can stand.

**bravesfan007** · 11-20-2008, 07:44 PM

I would have to go with some pumpkin pie and sweet potatoes (candied yams). However, I think there is just too much to decide on when it comes to Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Oh, just for good measure, I like my turkey better when it's cold and on a sandwich. I do like turkey legs though

Mmmm....oh yeah I love sweet potato casserole,its the best.My mom also makes this thing called cheesey potatos that are awesome.Stuffing is good too.I dont really care for pumpkin pie or turkey,but I love a good cherry or apple pie.

We have actually started doing a fryed turkey with a regular one the past 2 thanksgivings and its a hit here.I like it better than the original way to make it and we also inject it with cajun seasoning.(Got the recipe from some friends at church that are part Creole and are from Louisiana)Its very good and not flaming hot,but good seasoned hot.
