Unusual Thanksgiving dishes
| Tue, 11-23-2010 - 10:05am |
In an effort to deflect the inanity that other threads have devolved into, let's do something different. Do you serve any unusual dishes or anything with a special family history? And for those of you who make stuffing, what kind and why? And do you actually stuff the bird?

LOL, I will come and be an orphan grad student with you.
Our Thanksgiving dinner is basically the same every year.
But can we come to class too, if we want? ;) That reminds me, btw, of dh's description of having seminar-cum-dinner parties with Sir Stephen Runciman. The only requirement Runciman had was that there be a bottle of scotch for him, and he lived past 90.
I've never liked the green bean casserole thing, either.
LOL, ye have too much faith. I would be too scared to open my mouth, but I like the wine story.
We have several chefs in the family, and they all try to top each other with their dishes. Personally, I don't like it when dishes are too "dressed up," because the flavor of the vegetable (or whatever the featured thing is) is lost under spices and sauces and the like. One year my husband made a "beer can" turkey on the grill, using a spicy rub. It was delicious.
I have a girlfriend whose family has never done the turkey thing (ironically, they are originally from Plymouth, MA). They have a full steamed lobster dinner!

Hmmmmm ...
We always have layered salad on Thanksgiving. It's my grandma's recipe. I dont' know if it's that unusual though.
And we always have cheesy pineapple. It's my sister's favoriate and usually her contribution to the meal.
And I've been making cranberry salsa the last couple of years.
My mom makes dressing, but we don't stuff the bird (thus calling it dressing instead of stuffing).
