I don't eat the oyster dressing or cranberry sauce at all. Truth be told, merliton is way down on my list but I do take a little taste of it.

I think they’re more common in places that don’t eat as much white rice as we do in south Louisiana. Our family usually has turkey gravy over rice.

Pistolettes are my bread of choice for holiday meals, split and buttered before going into the oven. They are the perfect vehicle for mini sandwiches for leftovers.

Green bean casserole looks like vomit. My whole family loves it, but I hate it. Especially when you just adding a can of slop to some canned green beans topped with some fried onions. I do not, and will not ever understand the appeal. It's slop.

I've always hated green beans, and my mother in law makes a big ole thing of green beans every holiday. I never eat them. I can stomach a small serving of green bean casserole, but usually avoid it as well.

With bacon, red onion, and grated cheese? I love that abomination, but wouldn’t make it for a holiday meal since I’m the only one who eats it.

I've never had rice or mashed potatoes on Thanksgiving here in Alabama. Sweet potato casserole is the potato dish.

Never had them when we'd go to family's in Illinois or Ohio either when I was growing up.

We make homemade parker house rolls. They are damn good. But we have one uncle that has to have those store boughts. After an arse chewing one year, we just make them and keep them for ourselves.

Green bean casserole is the vote for me. Or okra tomato gumbo. Wtf.

Ah. I don’t think I’ve ever had rice and gravy at thanksgiving either, but have had rice dressing a lot growing up.

With so many other choices, I rarely eat the rice and gravy on Thanksgiving, but my husband and son want it, so I make some rice. My husband’s mother, my mother, and paternal grandmother always had it as a choice on Thanksgiving. My maternal grandmother was a Texan. No rice, ever.

Thanksgiving, when the food of the 50's comes back to haunt us.

Worst (just one appearance) Uncle Milton's liver dumpling and cabbage casserole. Actually I like liver and cabbage, but this was revolting.

Worst (Annual appearance) My sisters oyster dressing. I love oyster dressing, I look forward to it, but every year my sister makes the soupiest, blandest, grossest version ever. Luckily was always make a small pan for my wife and I for when we get home.

Being lukewarm on regular mashed potatoes in general (I like rough smash with skins and lots of butter/cream/seasoning), that would be my least favorite as well.

I also find the turkey to be the weakest thing on my plate, even though I do always eat some.



...are we related???

Cornbread dressing takes the place of smashed potatoes . Any item with green peas and I ain't eating it .



A couple of yankees must be your downvotes! Mashed patotoes for Thanksgiving dinner? That's a new one on me.

Turkey, ham, cornbread dressing, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, deviled eggs, rolls. Those are your staples.

I’ll eat green bean casserole if I must, but I hate just plain old green beans

Macaroni and cheese and mashed potatoes were always part of Thanksgiving with one of my cousins. Thank goodness we don't live near them now!
