Thanksgiving Dinner

YamahaFG180 · 11-22-2002, 09:49 AM

What do you guys usually eat for Thanksgiving?

My family is very traditional -- turkey, dressing, sweet potato casserole (brown sugar topping all the way!--no marshmallows), green beans, cranberry sauce, baked potatos....etc, etc, etc. For dessert, Grandma's specialty is Chocolate Pie, and we also have pumpkin pie (it's kind of a side-thing though....that chocolate pie is amazing!).

My roommate's family usually has steak though, for some reason.

Hmm.
Turkey
Mashed Potatoes
Salad (it's not your regular lettuce salad- it has ramen noodles in it and it's sooo good)
Cranberry sauce
Buns
Strawberry-rhubarb jam
I'm not sure what else. . . but for desert:
Pumkin Pie
Pumkin Pecan Pie
Apple Pie
Ice cream

We always have a bunch of people over, thus the variety of pies. We almost always have someone outside of our family, either someone's friend from college, just a friend, or exchange student. Then we have a ping pong tournament.
