Fav and least fav thanksgiving dish

[heelmanwilm]

I teach karate to about 15-20 kids. Have been for about 20 yrs. last night asked them for their fav and least fav tksgvng dish

Easily the fav was mac n cheese, which i didnt know was a tksgvng dish but whatever. Noone said turkey or stuffing

Easily least fav was mashed potatoes

As for moi

Stuffing/dressing is my fav. I put fresh stump sound oysters in mine

I despise green bean casserole.

I’m charcoal grilling the turkey. Done that several years and its amazing. Takes a while and lots of attention but worth it

 

[toophly1124]

Honey baked ham easily my fave

And I second your green bean casserole as the worst

My friends had a lengthy debate about this last year. We did it by plate.

First plate: Dark meat turkey, mash, mac and cheese, stuffing (preferably pretzel), corn. Gravy on everything, spread across the plate

Second plate: Turkey, mac and cheese, mash with gravy on just the turkey and mash

That sounds amazing. My fav is also the dressing, of course, accompanied by gravy.

My least favorite is probably the turkey. I'm just not a big turkey guy. Dark meat over light meat but even still, it's meh. I'm also not a big fan of that weird Ambrosia salad my mom always makes. Mandarin oranges, marshmallows, coconut...I don't know everything in it but it's lame.

Honey baked ham easily my fave

Ham is a Christmas thing for us. But I feel inclined to beat you over the head for eating that awful honey baked stuff. You need to get yourself a Virginia, salt cured ham. It's infinitely better than honey baked.

Favorite? Stuffing.
Least Favorite? Turkey.

I really can't stand turkey anymore. It's just too gamey.

Ive had both and I strongly disagree. Honey Baked Ham rakes.

Love me some collards at thanksgiving and Christmas.

 

[gteeitup]

favorite: dressing...in fact, i could eat dressing year round.

least: any green bean/vegetable casserole

 

[JuleZ '02 HEEL]

Not sure I can pick a favorite - mashed potatoes and gravy, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, and oh yeah, the turkey and dressing.

The cranberry sauce is ok for a once-a-year seasonal flavor, but I could do without it, especially if it's just out of the can.

Favorite: Broccoli casserole
Least favorite: Cranberry sauce

Ya, I could honestly do without the turkey and just get after all the sides and other stuff. F those kids for bashing the mashed potatoes though - one of the best parts.

My favorite is the stuffing (apparently also called dressing around these parts, but I guess I should just expect stupid names for normal things at this point with the whole Coke debate).

But we don't actually stuff it in anything. We use it just to dress up the turkey.

Agreed, and I was thinking about this. Dressing is definitely the more accurate name. However, that's already taken by the stuff you put on salads. And even though "stuffing" is a misnomer, it's used by the vast majority of the country, so those saying "dressing" should just give it up.

Just like me and the whole "non-revenue" sports thing. I think people sound stupid that call them non-revenue when they really mean unprofitable, but you don't see me bringing that up all the time

Corn Bread dressing!

 

[Terror Beard]

The inside of the bird is pretty gross. Why would anyone voluntarily eat something that came from there when the same thing can be prepared outside the bird?

Ya, I would never eat anything from inside the bird.

Reminds me of my fav show “all in the family”. Edith tries to serve beef tongue. Archie gets disgusted and says “i aint eatin anything comes outta cows mouth!” She asks what he wants then and he says “a couple eggs”

Half like here. I like turnips with the greens.

 

[uncboy10]

Favorite(s): Dressing, broccoli casserole, and ham.

Worst: Cranberry sauce. That stuff sucks.

P.S. If the dressing doesn't give you heartburn then you didn't do it right.

Just vomited a little.

Not many people are fans of turnip greens. Side note, I have grown collards out here in Nebraska and the folks who have tried them love them.

Not all cooks can cook greens (any greens) properly, it takes a knack.

I do believe it is a requirement that you stink up the entire house to cook them properly

They do smell, that's for sure....

You are correct. I usually cook mine in my shop with lard, skins, ham hock, a little red pepper and some sugar.

 

[toophly1124]

I love my greens drenched in vinegar. That pair is just made for each other IMO.

Sounds delicious. All that shit that’s not good for you makes em taste sooo good.

Hot vinegar is even better.

Greens can sometimes be bitter, you're spot on about the sugar.

I use Texas Pete but I do like the Texas Pete vinegar that has the little peppers in it.
