Least favorite Thanksgiving food

jhdouglas59
 

Here are my 3 least favorite Thanksgiving food memories (not listed
in any particular order):

Mincemeat pie

Ground cherry pie

Creamed dried corn

What gross foods can you think of that always appeared at your
Thanksgiving meals (recent years or ancient years ago)?

I know that Thanksgiving memories of great meals are always reflected
on, but what about the yucky stuff you had to eat to make everyone happy that you ate that stuff? Grin and bear it (or perhaps grin and
barf it might be a better description).

Happy oyster Thanksgiving dressing to you,

Johnny

I rather like a small sliver of mincemeat pie. ?And i have not had dried creamed corn since i was a pilgrim.

I cant think of anything that anyone served other than oyster dressing at my in laws home one year early in our marriage. ?One year we had TG dinner at a cafeteria and it was great cause i had no prep and no dishes. ?One year we went to a hotel and paid about 30 a person and paid for about 10 people and it was NASTY. ?One year some friends blessed us and our children by taking us to the Don Cesar Hotel in St Pete FL and it was spectacular...Food delish and ice sculptures and garnishes to behold. ?

The funniest thanksgiving memory was when we were all asked to bring something to my aunts one year and my brother showed up late with a frozen pie.

here is my favorite and most requested unique thanksgiving ?recipe;

CRANBERRY SALSA

3 CUPS FRESH OR FROZEN CRANBERRIES, THAWED

1/2 MEDIUM SIZE RED ONION, CHOPPED

2 JALAPENO PEPPERS, SEEDED AND CHOPPED

1/2 CUP FRESH CILANTRO

1/2 CUP HONEY

2 TABLESPOONS FRESH LIME JUICE

1 TABLESPOON GRATED ORANGE RIND

PROCESS ALL INGREDIENTS IN A FOOD PROCESSOR, PULSING 6 TO 8 TIMES OR UNTIL?COARSELY?CHOPPED, STOPPING TO SCRAPE DOWN SIDES. ?COVER AND CHILL 8 HRS ?YIELD 2 1/2 CUPS ?PREP TIME 6 MIN?

I would love to hear about your traditional foods for the meal. ?our menu consists of the turkey perhaps ham and mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing/dressing which is made with mashed potatoes (my great grandmothers recipe, Pennsylvania Dutch) squash casserole (the recipe came from my mom thru Verna Edwards) ?green beans, ?a couple of salads and a pumpkin pie, apple pie ?and pumpkin roll......one year we did an apricot pecan stuffing which was divine. ?Cooking is my passion. ?Not fancy but simple with a little flair.

One year we went to my son in laws parents house for TG. ?There were about 35 folks there who only ate traditional TG foods. ?After this was passed around the table and only our family took any SO I picked up the dish and described what was in it and passed it around again. ?i must say that there was only a few takers which was fine with me cause we love it and had some to take home.
would love to hear of some of your traditional recipes....hey YOU in Brazil!?

This year our youngest daughter Rachel who lives in FL and her husband Hap and son Sammy and our single daughter Heidi who lives in Atlanta will be here. ?I hate spending thanksgiving without my family like we did last year. ?We went to friends and it was just not the same (nothing tasted right, they forgot the gravy and no leftovers) and I wished afterwards that I had just cooked at home for the two of us. ? OK i can see i got carried away again.....bed time here Good night ?pjlee?

Mincemeat! ?Haven't seen that in a long time. ?I liked it when it was made with real beef - My grandmother always had at least two at Thanksgiving.

Most people have never heard of ground cherry pie, in fact they have no idea what is a ground cherry. ?Had a slice a few years ago somewhere in the midwest. ?When I lived in California, a friend went back to visit family in Kansas and brought ground cherry pie to work. ?No one else in the company had any idea what it was.

Had creamed dried corn growing up. ?My great grandmother Hershey made it every year. ?Haven't had it in years.

Worst Thanksgiving food was a dressing that friend made that had way, way too much spicy sausage in it. ?Also an oyster dressing - didn't eat more than one bite of that.

Still the best is the sweet potatoes with marshmallows and then pumpkin pie with real whipped cream.

I have a mashed white potato recipe that adds butter, sour cream, parmesan cheese, beaten egg, garlic powder and salt. ?Every year we have the request for "those potatoes".
?
HAVE A GREAT DAY!

I forgot another least favorite T-Day food. That would be
cornbread stuffing for the turkey. I guess that's a Southern
thing. Nothing beats stale bread stuffing made with mushrooms
and oysters with a good helping of jalapenos and serrano peppers.
I don't recall the oysters and jalapenos and serranos back in
my young lad days in Ohio. Too spicy, you know. Bland was the
theme back then (and may also be true today?) in the greater
Dalton/Kidron metroplex.

Does anyone know what you do with turkey necks? Some folks use them for gravy along with all that gross stuff in the paper package they
insert in the frozen turkey cavity. Personally, I don't eat the insides of animals. Speaking of that, does anyone know what
"puddin'" is made from? I'm not talking about pudding--pudding is actually edible. "Puddin'" is some kind of inner animal item (I think). It was served with pancakes or potatoes or whatever. I don't think it was mincemeat though. Brains, tongues, hearts, gizzards, intestines, livers, etc freak me out. I suspect that
"puddin'" is probably a derivative of that kind of stuff.

I looked at the ingredients on a jar of mincemeat yesterday, and
one of the final ingredients is "beef". So I guess the stuff
that is marketed and mass-produced has only a trace of meat
in it. I don't recall that it had much of a meat element back
in the olden days, but I guess that Grandma knew what
she was doing if the mincemeat actually had visible beef in her
mincemeat concoction.

This message endorsed by the American Beef Society for 101 Things
to do with Beef (or possibly "Biff" that Norm used to mention on Cheers which was on the menu at the Hungry Heifer restaurant).

Have a delightful T-Day and don't OD on the mincemeat pie,

John
