Oyster dressing - almost throw up thinking about it.


Man, if this was the only dish I could eat I would be content. I start psyching myself up for it days in advance. Green bean casserole while not the best, is certainly not the worst. One of my aunts brings this fruit salad crap with marshmallows and mayo that tastes like shite. The sweet potatoes and marshmallow concoction is right behind it.

sweet potatoes with marshmallows doesn't do it for me


We have a winner. The candied yams are just disgusting. I love sweet potatoes but that damn marshmallow stuff is just nasty.

Other than that, I love just about everything that gets put down in front of me on T-Giving. I don't mind the green bean casserole.

I think one year my mom went with homemade cranberry sauce and she just about was lynched so the people that like that ribbed sauce, are over the top. Don't ever make the mistake of not having it available.

Back when my grandmother was running Thanksgiving dinner these items were STAPLE:

Orange Jello with mandarin oranges in it.
Turnips (boiled and served like mashed potatoes)
Parsnips (just a couple of years)
Red Jello with fruit cocktail in it.

I could handle the red Jello, and ate the turnips when I was younger, but after I reached age 13/14, they just became gross.

Things I hate now?

Squash, sweet potatoes/yams. Just about anything else, I'll eat it if it doesn't eat me first.

Anything my sister cooks. Only person i know that can cook a lasagna for hours and still have it come out of the oven stone cold. Our grandmother, who pretty much reared us, used to tell her it'd be a miracle if she could boil water.

Agreed. I do make sweet potato casserole with a praline type topping, but no candied yams or sweet potatoes with marshmallows. Not a fan of green bean casserole or ambrosia either.

I had a relative that would serve the can of cranberry (sauce) still in the shape of the can.


I'm probably in the minority, but I love taking a bite of that with my Turkey.

I don't get Mashed Potatoes for Thanksgiving. That's an everyday dish, not a once a year dish.

Agreed, why screw up a perfectly good SP. Also, please leave the cinnamon and nutmeg alone!

Orange (or lemon) zest is when you run a grater over the peel of the orange. The key is to not get any of the white part of the peel, and it's full of the citrus flavor.

The green bean casserole is one of the worst dishes of all time. The oyster stuffing/dressing is the winner, though. That is the nastiest shite outside of mayo.

And for those who do not like cranberry sauce,
