Thanksgiving food.... what's your favorite?

[MissMillie]

I'm aware that Thanksgiving meals differ by geographic region.

Families have their own traditions. My mom used to make sure we all had our favorite vegetable and we all had our favorite pie. Thank goodness there was some overlap, otherwise she would have needed 4 or 5 stove tops to pull it off.

[Heartstrings]

2. Never tasted "Rob is a dingbat"

So will need to reserve voting until I have sampled Rob is a dingbat.

[hlthe2b]

9. Never tasted but continually missed. Here's to a good T'Giving to a long missing Rob, the dingbat

Oh, and Thanksgiving is not Thanksgiving without turkey, but really? Not exactly the best part of the meal (although I'm happy to use the leftovers afterward)...

Most of the sides, which vary, are my favorite. I'm not a big pie person, but I will still sample a little bit. Too much supersweet (yet delicious) pecan pie can send me into a coma, though.

[Heartstrings]

12. In honor of Rob I'll cast my vote for stuffing.

I agree about the sweet part. The turkey alone puts me in a coma!

[yellowdogintexas]

23. I am happy to see Rob back in our polls. nt

[doc03]

3. Lemon meringue. nt

[EYESORE 9001]

4. I love oyster dressing

but I don’t request it anymore, because nobody else will eat it.

[Elessar Zappa]

11. That sounds good.

I’ve never tried stuffing with oysters in it.

[Haggard Celine]

5. Going to have my mom's excellent Southern dressing today.

Can't wait! We'll have turkey and a ham, too, both of them smoked by a friend of my mom. I think we'll have some green beans, too, of course, and sweet potato pie. Going way off the diet today.

[LakeArenal]

6. Leftovers for sure.

[evemac]

7. Pumpkin pie 🥧

[d_r]

8. Cornbread oyster dressing

[Elessar Zappa]

10. Stuffing with turkey gravy on top.

After that is a tie between the turkey and mashed potatoes, with plenty of gravy of course. Can you tell I’m a gravy man?

[Hugh_Lebowski]

14. That's my vote too! (nt)

[Patterson]

22. Same here. The stuffing needs plenty of sage.

[MiHale]

13. Real cranberries not the fake jelly kind...

Cranberries are my favorite fruit, today is the day we celebrate all things cranberry

[MontanaMama]

15. Pie. Not pumpkin or pecan.

This year I made gingerbread whoopie pies for dessert.

[TexasBushwhacker]

17. I'm making pecan, apple and peach

2 of each, so everyone can take some with their leftovers.

I have to agree with you on pumpkin. Never been a fan. Why don't you like pecan? Too sweet?

[MontanaMama]

18. Hey! Yes. Way too sweet.

But, the men in my house love it so I do make it from time to time for them. I don’t eat it, however. Peach pie is my absolute favorite. Now you’re making me want one…

[OilemFirchen]

16. My mom's cherry Jell-O.

She would use canned whole sour cherries, stuff each one with a walnut half, then soak them overnight in wine (Manischewitz of course).

The cherries would then be carefully arranged in black cherry Jell-O - probably with a hint of wine as well. She never shared the recipe with me, but I think I got it right.

It was absolute perfection.

[electric_blue68]

19. I do like turkey...

but I'm mad for stuffing with sage in it!

There's also a wonderful meat stuffing: beef, chestnuts, a bit if tomato paste, a bit of garlic and a few other ingredients that my mom made. It maaay be of Greek origin

[Fla Dem]

20. A spiced Pumpkin Pie.

[NotASurfer]

21. Yes

All of it. If it's a healthy or reduced calorie version, double up, because you need to eat twice as much to get the same effect. And it's impolite to not have at least one slice of every pie for dessert

Obviously I expect to be in a full tryptophan and sugar coma in a couple hours, posting while still coherent

[yellowdogintexas]

24. My absolute favorite pie is Coconut Cream

I absolutely can NOT resist it. Fruit Pie - either peach or cherry. Buttermilk, pecan, chess, chocolate, you name it I love it

I just generally love pie.
