re: Famously bad Thanksgiving dishes you have to smile and eat

Carrot Raisin Salad.
Pie with Cool Whip on top.

Turkey. The worst

My Mom's cranberry "sauce". She takes a can opener to it and plops it out onto a plate and serves it in the shape of the can, complete with the rings still visible.

That's how its supposed to be served. It would be darn strange not to see the can marks. I always have a can like that just for decoration. I make my own fresh sauce, but it's not the same without the one in the can.

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

Man, everything in this thread sounds like dogshit. Pumpkin squash soup?!

I like the marshmallow gelatin thing my grandmother used to make

Congealed salad? A woman on my mom's side of the family has to make one of those for every damn holiday meal.

The can shaped cranberry sauce is great sliced thin on a leftover turkey sandwich with fresh white Bunny bread and Blue Plate may, salt and pepper with a mix of dark and white meat.

I just threw up in my mouth a little. You actually could have made it worse, substitute the whipping cream with Cool Whip.

There was another disgusting relic of the '70's called Watergate salad. Congealed makes me think of a pool of blood slowly thickening as it dries.

There was another one made with Cheez Wiz, brocolli and hot mayonnaise. Only the digestive system of a great white shark can handle a casserole containing hot mayonnaise.
