we do the traditional turkey dinner, but mom always makes green goop. It's lime jello, with pineapple and melted cream cheese mixed in. Looks horrendous but it tastes so freaking good.

I'll be hitting the Chinese buffet. Been doing that for almost 25 years now. I don't see the attraction for the traditional meal. Too much work and the women-folk get all stressed about every little fucking thing. Life is too short for that crap. Let's go eat crab legs, lo mein, and dumplings until we pass out. Much better. And no dishes to wash.

My family is vegetarian so they serve Tofurkey. No milk or eggs used to make the rolls. Not sure what the butter is but it's isn't butter. I would flat out refuse to go there. I understand your outrage but Tofurkey is good. I'm not a vegetarian but when I cook Thanksgiving dinner, I make Tofurkey even when no vegetarians are present. Yes, I will have both turkey and Tofurkey on my plate because both are delicious. I bought a Tofurkey today and plan to make it tomorrow for an early Tday with my kid. |

It is just the wife and I but we are still having turkey, stuffing under the skin, mashed potatoes and rutabagas, green bean casserole, and Pillsbury fuckin crescent rolls. Yeah and some of that cranberry crap that is shaped like the inside of the can.
And we like it that way. We're Americans, dammit, and that's how we roll. |

The only two women who made Chitlins I trusted (MUST be cleaned WELL!) are both long dead.
I keep saying I am going to show my immigrant Wife how to cook them- but I wont. No more Chitlins- probably ever.  Turkey, oyster dressing, jellied cran, greens, green beans, candied yams, punkin pie, sweet potato pie. She will burn one of the sides and succeed well on all the rest. Two guests coming, both a long way from their home and solo. I am looking forward to it. |

Cranberry sauce is always a tradition for Thanksgiving/Christmas. The two meals are normally pretty similar. Nothing too crazy....we do the usual stuff. Turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, deviled eggs, cheese rolls, salad, green bean casserole.....
Damn, now I'm hungry! Good thing I'm going home for all that on Thursday.

We normally eat penguin but this year we are going out to eat rather than spending our money on a bunch of food and preparing it for just the three of us.
Our family lives around the Chicago suburbs and is hard to make it back home for the holidays. Last year and every other year we spend all day cooking and preparing for our meal but not this year. We are letting someone else do the cooking for us. |

Our family is generally traditional, but tomorrow I'm going to make cullin skink that nobody has ever served (in our family for holidays) but finnan haddie is very common on Christmas morning with us. They both (resipes) use smoked haddock as the base and so that is what I will use. It is a soup and not a main dish (like Christmas). But with a scottish ancestry, I don't think I can miss.

God it's disgusting. Can you at least eat real turkey yourself? I could if I wanted to but TBH, I think Tofurkey tastes great. I love it. The rolls made without milk and eggs, however, are bleh. They are flat or something, don't care for them at all. Stockholm syndrome. If you see a shrink about that and get your head right on the tofurkey issue and subsequently need a new family for Thanksgiving, you're welcome at my table. I don't believe there will be any item on the dinner table that will be vegetarian/vegan approved... Just like the pilgrims, the founding fathers, God, and Julia Child intended. |

I LIVE for Thanksgiving dinner at my mom's family. They are a bunch of breeders, with 9 new kids every year packed in the same house, but the food is epic.
My aunt makes scrap egg noodles that I would kill a man over. I long for them 364.5 days per year. Last night my mom called and said she is making them herself this year because my aunt is too busy with all the new spawn.

What does your family serve for Thanksgiving dinner?
Nothing. But the restaurant we go to has a buffet with all the traditional turkey dinner plus roast beef, pork roast, and a full range of seafood. I look forward to it all year. |

When I was growing up we always had spaghetti, lasagna, garlic bread as well as turkey, taters, green beans, pies. My grandma was from an Italian family. After she died and everyone started moving to opposite ends of the earth the "tradition" died out. Because I grew up like that, the first time I went to someone else's house for Thanksgiving/Christmas I was shocked not to have all the Italian fare.
I think I'll make spaghetti sauce today... Everyone will be surprised! |

No, when I was a child, my family always had T-day dinner at home. I've been single most of my life and I have no family locally - sometimes I went to restaurants, sometimes I ate with friends, and sometimes I cooked for myself and whoever I was seeing at the time. But six years ago my favorite restaurant started doing a max effort Thanksgiving thing and my ex-boyfriend and I started going to that. Now my husband and I go there with the ex-BF and his wife, the ex's cousin and his wife, and my ex-husband and his wife. As far as I can tell, mostly what it lacks is a pile of dirty dishes for us womenfolk to wash when we're all finished eating. |
