obviously not thanksgiving, but I desperately need to feel something right now, even if it’s being on the other end of scorn and derision
so: coleslaw+fake ham sandwich and a banana
When I was younger I liked to mix everything--turkey, potatoes, gravy, dressing, sweet potato casserole, EVERYTHING--on my plate with cranberry sauce 😋
Haven't lived until you've tried it but it ain't pretty
Not Thanksgiving, but someone brought this dish of kraft (?) mac and cheese topped with american cheese slices to a family reunion I attended a few years ago 😬 I don't go to them anymore
Worked in a many years ago and the folks in the Health/Safety Department tracked handwashing of all staff only to discover a 65% compliance w/ washing. Never went to another potluck again.
My closest immigrant ancestry is German, yet I wasn't fully turned on to sauerkraut until my 50s.
In middle school, weekend field trip to Montreal, I had a hot dog in Quebec; still the best hot dog I've ever had; the bus pulled over to this roadside stand. Sauerkraut was the magic ingredient.
i wish i had a photo of the stuffed “unturkey” with bean curd skin that i tried to make in 2010 but it wouldn’t cook through so i was cutting cooked pieces off of various layers and reassembling it in a baking dish like a lasagna
Who decides what's gross?
My family has a crock of Kraut. I love it, and eat a bunch. I know a guy that Hates green bean casserole. Is that gross? He thinks so
Can we just not do that?
I am going back to Australia for Christmas if everyone can wait that long for a photo of my brother-in-law's gross looking "bread sauce" that he makes every year - he's British and we still don't know if it's a real British dish or a decades-long bit he's doing
I went to Oklahoma for Thanksgiving with my brother’s in-laws and they made giblet gravy. It already smelled nasty, but they added a whole bottle of yellow food coloring. It was like rank, creamy, neon urine.
Fortunately, the “green beans cooked with a full pound of greasy bacon that was left in the pot and left to cool so the fat congealed on top because it was never reheated in time for dinner” died with my aunt several years ago.
If you ask some of my in-laws it's the stuffing I make, which contains the turkey liver, heart, gizzards and whatever else was up in that bird's cavity.
My partner adores my stuffing and that's all that matters.
I made a vegan green bean casserole a few years ago that used a portobello mushroom soup instead of cream of mushroom soup. So although it tasted pretty good it looked kind of gross cuz it was brown and green
Sadly we’re going to a really fancy restaurant this year 🥲 my dad doesn’t have any time off before the holiday to shop, prep, or cook like normal 😩 but just for you JP, I’ll post photos of the food

We messed up and said it was great!
She makes it every year now.
