I don’t believe there is a Thanksgiving dish I don’t like. During WWII we had venison, rabbit and any other edible wildlife and vegetables which had been preserved from the garden. We ate well even though there was no, to very little, money to go out and buy stuff. My older uncles, along with my father were off to war, my grandfather had passed away in 1937 before I was born so it was just my grandmother, mother and two uncles, who were too young to go.
Like them all, but my wife’s Turkey with Oyster Stuffing can’t be beat.
I’m in agreement with you! A big, ol’ drumstick and a serving of oyster dressing covered with brown gravy – YUMMM!!
Corn with melted butter on top.
The gravy, I put it on everything on the plate except the cranberries!
Agree with Craig, 100%!
Thanksgiving is our only “national” meal. I love all of it.
Dislike turkey. Always over cooked, darn dry breast.
You should try deep fried turkey, I think you may change your mind. It’s deep fried in peanut oil due to the high temperature required, all the natural juices are sealed inside as the turkey is submerged in the hot oil and it only takes a short time to cook. The first time I tried it I cut into the breast(my favorite) and the juice’s oozed out, it was delicious and I went out and bought a turkey fryer.
Brining the turkey over night prevents a dried out bird.
All of the above EXCEPT cranberry sauce. It’s nasty looking coming out of the can and tastes worse. If it was as good as people claim, they’d eat it year round. I’ve had home made cranberry sauce too, but you are welcome to my helping. Yech.
Yep, I eat it year around 🙂 Turkey and cranberry sauce were my picks. If no cranberry sauce then bread and butter pickles would make a reasonable substitute. But it was hard to narrow my picks down to just two.
I love food…not much I don’t like. I love stuffing but only mine, which is my moms recipe and she passed in 1996. I have bread getting nice & crusty right now to make her stuffing this evening.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
My two favorite Thanksgiving dishes? Plates and bowls.
😁😁😁😁😁 (There’s always one of us in every crowd)
Love corn casserole/pudding.
I selected “Turkey or ham,” but rarely care much for turkey, which is often drier than I’d like (perhaps we should learn to deep fry turkey?). That leaves me with ham trumping turkey even though it sometimes is excessively salty. I also selected “other” because I enjoy macaroni but without cheese. My maternal grandparents hosted us and the families of their other children for Thanksgiving for my entire childhood. My grandmother always made macaroni with cheese for the family and a small amount of macaroni without cheese for me. I don’t know how/why I disliked cheese being in macaroni, but that preference survives to this day, many years later.
Don’t care for turkey (or chicken) so when I cook it is non-traditional. Standing rib roast with all of the trimmings and I will make up a batch of delicious cranberry relish (we end up having it over ice cream when we have ice cream in the house/camper) – fresh cranberries, OJ, amaretto, fresh orange, etc., etc.
I have always loved the leftovers. Evening turkey sandwiches and apple pie.
Dressing with gravy and Pecan pie for me.
I like the gelatin salads.
Love the gravy and a family favorite, broccoli casserole…
Regardless of your choices, we all have much to be thankful for. HAPPY THANKSGIVING Stay safe, Stay well
pumpkin pie and whipped cream
All of the above! …and for a week after – love it all!
MY Two favorite Thanksgiving dishes – Dinner and leftovers! What other choice is there?!?!?!
Gravy
just the two of us this year. cooked 1/2 turkey breast from grocery, mashed taters, green beans, peas, cranberry sauce, biscuits.
You can’t just pick two, I eat too much at this diner anyway
Gravy!
Egg noodles made with Turkey broth and giblets. Yum Yum!
Dressing and gravy
Rutabaga, how could you not list rutabaga!!! Wonderful, best part of the meal. Oh, and the dressing is not in the bird as I’m a vegetarian, it’s cooked on top of the stove or in the oven. Cranberry sauce made so it’s still just a little warm is also really good.
Prime Rib is my Thanksgiving favorite.
Turkey and gravy
potatoes(either white or orange) and gravy
stuffing and gravy
there seems to be a pattern, is gravy a dish, it wasn’t listed.
Gotta have my Memaw’s onion gratin. I carry on her tradition and make it every year… Now it’s a requested favorite of all my in-laws too!
