My sister's oyster dressing is soupy and green with too many green onions. One of my favorite dishes is inedible. But she is proud of it and thinks we all look forward to feasting on her masterpiece, no one dares tell her what a disaster it is.

My late mother-in-law had a cornbread dressing that took a quart of wine to wash down. They could have used its liquid absorption qualities to stop the Katrina flooding.

My aunt usually brought this pinwheel salad on individual plates, it had grapefruit sections (I hate grapefruit), chopped pecans, cottage cheese and your name written in red food colored mayonnaise with a squeeze bottle.

I really like Thanksgiving food...odd that way, I guess. And, I make my own damn dressing and it's good. I don't have to suffer through someone's crappy dish.

I make a pumpkin and squash soup that smells terrible and looks like a dirty diaper. It actually tastes delicious, but nobody eats it - I make it as a joke.

Giblet Gravy - frick this atrocious substance

my dad's family insists on this "country tradition" every year. it looks like putrid vomit, and tastes even worse over the cold turkey. Mom's family is where it's at ftmfw. hot turkey and brown gravy

Pretty much any turkey that isn't fried.

my husband's grandmother's cornbread dressing looks like throw up. It's soupy and just terrible tasting. She noticed i never fix any and now thinks I only like rice dressing (which I love), but cornbread done well is one of my most favorite things.


same family, they put out the grossest apps like bean dip mixed with salsa or a block of cream cheese with A1 on top. It's rough.

There is just one cousin from NOLA that brings some serving of culinary death every year. It is usually ignored by everyone that makes a party of 50 or more.

My mom's cranberry salad, it has fruit, nuts, creamcheese, and I think those tiny marshmellows in it.

Just chill a can of the cranberry sauce, slice it up so I can have it with my turkey. Please don't ruin it with all of that other slop.

You should try my Grand Maw's turkey. All the gravy in the world couldn't help.

my mother made some cauliflower cheese deal...it's wasn't cauli heads and cheese it was some kind of ground cauliflower and different cheeses


just awful and my bro and I had to finally say stop we hate it


then the year everything she made wasn't right. She had forgotten what each recipe was and we think used salt instead of sugar and sugar instead of salt....that's when we figured out she wasn't all there anymore


she doesn't cook thanksgiving dinner anymore

Cranberry Fluff -- some sort of hellish cranberry/marshmallow concoction.

Another is what my family calls "heavenly hash" -- containing green jello, pineapple, and topped with a cream cheese/whipped cream mixture.
