It’s true they don’t need a lot of extra sweetening at all, so I just add some orange juice for acidity (they are quite earthy on their own) and maybe some pumpkin pie spice. That way it is more or less ready to go and I just warm it up and adjust seasonings before the meal.Īs for sweet potatoes? Am I the only one who grew up having the ones topped with marshmallows that we browned/ melted at the last minute? I don’t like marshmallows except on sweet potatoes and s’mores. I usually do two birds, and the one I do earlier in the day is used for the gravy. I can’t resist making gravy with the drippings. I would make two kinds, but everyone just wants the classic. Everyone in the family likes it and it looks so pretty on the table. I sweeten it with maple syrup and a bit of brown sugar and add a touch of cinnamon. ![]() I make my own and it’s super easy, by far the quickest thing in the whole meal. Everyone’s happy!Īnd remember cooks, use the flipping method: cook the bird breast side down for the first half, then flip and cook breast side up for the rest of your cooking time. I don’t care about dessert, never did so I ask my guests to bring something they like, I make big bowls of Chantilly creme and serve with Irish coffees. Leftovers on the Parker House rolls with lots of gravy and stuffing for the next day, mmm…. I do a squash puree, some Brussels sprouts tossed in lots of butter and onions for the green veg, Parker House rolls because MORE BUTTER PLEASE and to mop everything up on your plate. Corn/green bean casserole are Southern American staples so we never had them where I’m from. The mandatory part is stuffing made both inside and outside the bird, it’s my family’s favourite and mine too! I loathe sweet potatoes, same for cranberry sauce I’ll buy it and put it out and it never ever gets eaten, period. Turkey or roast game bird, gravy made IN ADVANCE because the faffing about after the bird is out of the oven isn’t worth the miniscule flavour you get from using the drippings. Nibbles with Champagne are from the local gourmet store, the Barefoot Contessa tells me that store bought is fine so if it’s good enough for her it’s good enough for me… OK I can’t resist another Thanksgiving post…it’s so much fun to argue about. I’m dreaming of mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, and a smorgasbord of different types of pie. Speaking of butter, how can someone not like sweet potatoes or mashed potatoes? They’re both so yummy! Mashed potatoes go with *everything.* And how is pumpkin pie more disliked than apple pie?! Is this really a thing? Looking at this list has made me very, very hungry. There is not enough butter in the world to get me to willingly eat corn. I’m surprised to see corn finish last because I really do not like corn, either. I am scandalized by some of these results! The only item on this list that I can take or leave is stuffing/dressing. ![]() Which of these traditional Thanksgiving foods do you dislike? Here’s the full list of options and where they fell in the list: Sweet potatoes or yams finished in second place and green bean casserole took third. In an anonymous survey done by The Vacationer, out of the 1,013 American adults polled, 31.49% of them said they didn’t like cranberry sauce. Apparently, I’m not alone in this distaste because for the third year in a row, cranberry sauce has been voted as the most disliked Thanksgiving food dish. There is one traditional Turkey Day food that I don’t like and will always skip over: Cranberry sauce. I feel like Joey in the Thanksgiving episode of Friends when Rachel puts beef in the trifle and he starts listing all of the ingredients he likes. Alright, y’all, American Thanksgiving is almost upon us, which means it’s time to talk about FOOD! Halloween is my favorite holiday, but Thanksgiving is a close second because I love almost all of the traditional Thanksgiving foods.
