re: Thanksgiving dinner is historically affordable this year

I believe it's been well established in this thread that you have absolute dogshit taste. Your meal plan was below par for a prison meal or homeless soup kitchen. Enjoy your Great Value boxed stuffing.
The goal was to see if it were indeed possible to do what many were claiming is impossible.....feed 10 people a thanksgiving dinner for less than $58. The original premise is that was impossible. Not that it would taste like shite, that it simply could not be done and, many posters at least, insinuated that the article linked was political propaganda because many posters on these boards are dumber than a sack of hammers and everything is political to them. I merely did some very fast research and proved, beyond any doubt, that one could indeed feed 10 people a traditional thanksgiving dinner for less than $4 a head.
When this was well established and no one could deny it any longer the bar was moved, as it is apt to be when someone finds their premise indefensible, and food quality and quantity became the reason it could not be done, not politics, not out-right lies but food quality and quantity. I will wholeheartedly agree, the quality is not what I would serve nor wish to be served....but it is a traditional thanksgiving menu by any measure. I do not agree that the quantity is insufficient, calorically it is more than a woman needs in 24 hours and about 70% of what a man needs in 24 hours IN ONE MEAL. I get that, many of you are overweight and see thanksgiving as an excuse to overindulge to the point of misery and nausea...we will have some of y'all about the place Thursday ourselves. That said this is not anyone's fault but the fat frickers who can't control themselves. If a pound of turkey ain't enough of a meal for you the issue ain't with politics or inflation its your fat arse inability to control yourself....

Stop being a victim of unfounded personal assaults...you will be happier for the experience.

It is impossible to do right. You might as well have said: "These are 30 cents each. You could feed a family of 10 for $3. Everyone gets tap water to drink."
Your meal is just as unacceptable for a family Thanksgiving meal.

I honestly don't even get what you're trying to do in this thread.
Point out that it is indeed possible to feed 10 people a traditional thanksgiving meal for less than $5 a person. That is what is being doubted, the OP linked an article that suggested it was $5.80 a head. Many people then posted how this was political propaganda somehow and it would obviously cost upward of $30 a person because of Kamala or because of Trump or because of space aliens or god knows what. I then stepped in and found it was indeed possible to feed 10 people for less than $5 a person. I never made any claims about quality, it would not be great by the way, nor quantity, which would be more than sufficient for a person who was not a gluttonous fricker. I have based my posts on facts that can be verified by anyone interested while those who have disagreed are doing so based on emotion and, at least in some cases, because it has to be propaganda to quite published grocery prices which indicate it would not require $300 worth of groceries to feed 10 people.

I don't see all these people saying you can't. It would just be a very shitty and reduced version, and all you did was prove that right.
So now that wee all agree, can you STFU?

Roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, green beans, turkey stuffing, turkey gravy, pumpkin pie and iced tea is unacceptable as a thanksgiving dinner? In what universe?
It is pretty amazing if you look at grocery store prepared thanksgiving dinners you find an awful lot of them that include exactly those items listed above.
The same goes for restaurants.
The same goes for magazine articles and cook books with recipes for thanksgiving meals.
It is also based on 59 years of life and seeing what my family and other families cook for thanksgiving.....turkey, dressing (not stuffing, we are not cretins) mashed potatoes and green beans, bread, gravy and pie. I would bet ANY amount of money that most of you who claim this is an unacceptable thanksgiving day menu will have at least some of these items on your table. Strange that....

You know how you can keep from reading my posts my friend...simply stop reading them. Unless you are being forced to do so you choosing to do so is on you, not me. You have no control over my STFU, it seems you have as little control over what you read and respond to. That is on you my friend.

A simple no would have sufficed, but you just don't have that capability apparently.
I also never said you had to stop posting, but you sure do like to take some liberties with what people say

Holy shite, you're 10 times dumber than I thought. I figured you were a 19 year old soy boy. How you're 59 and this fricking stupid is absolutely amazing.

You missed about 70% of the thread then because about 70% of it is people saying the OP was propaganda of some sort....and it probably is, who the frick knows, but what has been established is it is indeed possible to do what the OP link said was possible....

One would think you'd read better with the amount of shite you've posted in this thread.

My mom is in her 80s and I'm going to help her with Thanksgiving dinner with everything from scratch this week so we've already been making the list.
Turkey
Homemade Dressing (homemade turkey broth, cornbread, eggs)
Homemade Cranberry Sauce with walnuts
Sweet potatoes (baked with garlic & rosemary
Brussel Sprouts (pan browned butter, onion)
Homemade Yeast Rolls
Garden Salad (Romaine, Tomato, Onion, Homemade Dijon-Balsamic dressing)
Banana Pudding
Sweet Tea
The homemade things like dressing, yeast rolls, sweet potatoes, salad dressing, iced tea, banana pudding are actually pretty cheap when I think about it. Mainly because those recipes were from times when people watched every penny and a lot of the ingredients are things you buy in bulk as basic kitchen staples.
I'll probably spend about $150 because I'll go to the natural food store and buy things like free range turkey, eggs, organic produce, milk and flours etc. . .
But I could also do this and feed 10 people for $75 or so.

"The bottom line is the spread you provided is not anywhere close to an average Thanksgiving Day meal. "
SO you are saying no one claimed the meal in question wasn't close to an average thanksgiving meal when it is, in fact, exactly what about 90% of restaurants, families, and grocery stores would call a thanksgiving meal???? You said it yourself in a post on the previous page LOL....I am not inventing anything, I am parroting what you said....

Didn't read the entire thread but our local grocery store is advertising Thanksgiving dinner for 6 for under $30. They list the items you need along with the prices. I believe the meal consisted of whole turkey (10-14 lbs), green bean casserole, mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing, bread rolls, and a pie.

ome of y'all really need to reflect on what you should be thankful for...a lot of Americans will not have a meal as described....it will be far less impressive if it exists at all. Kids and old folks, folks with mental and physical health conditions that are not their fault, lots of Americans would see that meal as fricking blessing while most of us here consider it shite. That is the truly sad aspect of this thread.

You don't even understand what you're saying at this point. Someone else will have to take over entertaining your nonsense, this is getting repetitive.

Just picture a 59 year old man trying to pass off instant mashed potatoes reconstituted with water only, no milk, cream, or butter... as an acceptable Thanksgiving side dish, just to defend Joe Biden. These people really are mentally ill.
