One time when I was a kid my dad dragged my family to his boss's thanksgiving party because it was a business thing. The boss's wife made stuffing that was so soggy and lovely that it could have been strained out of the sink drain and tossed on a plate. I didn't eat it.

edit: good stuffing should be more firm than some kind of mish mash. Throw some chopped pecans and bell peppers in there, along with a dash of red pepper flakes

I don’t really like stuffing or cranberry sauce... until they’re leftover, when I will absolutely house a sandwich of those+turkey+gravy.


A big dish of canned green beans with lovely fried onions on top is the absolute worst though.

beets taste like bitter dirt to me. Apparently its a thing like with cilantro where there is a genetic component that makes one experience it differently than others

I’m sorry you’ve never had someone love you enough to brine & baste a bird for you. Liking Dark Meat is basically the meat version having the Cilantro soap gene.

I like all traditional thanksgiving foods, except one. I was allowed one “hate” food when I was little. It’s acorn squash with butter. Made me throw up smelling it almost. Looks, feels, tastes absolutely disgusting. Still today not allowed in the house.

My mother loves creamed pearl onions and makes them every Thanksgiving and I'm pretty sure she is the only person that eats them as well.

They are gross.

Its just tiny gross onions in a bunch of butter and cream.

Butternut is good if you make it with just a touch of sweetness rather than a bag of brown sugar like many folks do. When I make it I also let it simmer uncovered after mashing so most of the water evaporates out and you get a side dish with mashed potato consistency that doesn’t leak squash jizz all over the plate.

Turkey. It's the worst poultry. Everytime I've eaten it at thanksgiving it's always dry and tasteless. I'm sure there are ways to make turkey taste awesome but my family apparently weren't in the know.
Like, give me a honey baked ham over turkey any day.

Mashing? She’d cut them in half and bake them like 6 hours. Stringy mush, brown sugar was no help to 10 yo Burt.

If your turkey game is lacking make up a tasty compound butter and pipe it between the meat and skin before you bake it. :boom: Nice juicy turkey.

When I was a young person my mom went through a health food/low carb kick. She told me she was going to make meatloaf one day and I was loving JAZZZED!! YES YES YES SOMETHING BAD FOR ME AND TASTY!!! I get to the dinner table and she informs me she made the meatloaf with ":downs: No bread products of any kind :downs:." It was literally a meat log. Like when you cut it it was like cutting off a bunch of over done hamburgers. I was...uh....upset.

low carb gives you brain damage

i was doing a dinner thing and i made a proper lamb shepherds pie from scratch taken from a ramsay recipe, like its pretty loving good and all good ingredients

the other people brought frozen lasagna and proceeded to dump franks hot sauce all over my beautiful shepherds pie

i didnt so much mind that they brought frozen food while i made something from scratch, it was dumping franks red hot sauce on my food while she said "I PUT THAT poo poo ON EVERYTHING"

that was the last time i invited them over

it was the way they just dumped the hot sauce and the context of them bringing frozen food and her saying like a dumbass "I PUT THAT poo poo ON EVERYTHING!!!!" without even trying it

like go ahead, put some hot sauce on the there but to make a make a big deal about it and meanwhile your food is only palatable WITH hot sauce, fool me once

Ironically later in life she took several trips to Italy and learned how to cook some of the best poo poo ever. We don’t discuss squash timeframe.

I bought a decent sized charcoal grill this year with an offset smoker. I think if I put the spatchcocked halves next to each other lengthwise I could fit a turkey in there. Probably be a bitch keeping the temp up long enough though.
