Friday OT #1 - Disposable Darling

[Angie]

Thanksgiving is upon us! It is admittedly not my #1 holiday, but there are always the foods about which I am most excited. A friend was talking about how excited she was for her mom's green bean casserole, and I realized that is most likely the food that could be absolutely slashed from every Thanksgiving meal and I would be just fine.

What Thanksgiving food do you like least, and would be happiest having removed from the day?

When I was little, we would serve cranberry sauce, but then realized that nobody really ate it. So we decided to go away with it. This year, my wife wants to have cranberry sauce. If it were me, I'd wouldn't deal with it.

I can't think of a thing. But I am notorious for eating anything and everything.

Pecan pie and stuffing

Sweet potatoes and cranberry sauce. I prefer fruit pies to pumpkin pies so I'll throw in pumpkin pie.

Also, green bean casserole is awesome.

 

[Trice]

Casseroles. All of 'em.

Pecan pie and stuffing

Yep. Pecan and pumpkin pie are both at the bottom of the pie totem pole for me (if such a thing exists), and most stuffing is super mushy and bland.

Casserole. All of 'em.

THANK YOU. @Mr Janny makes fun of my general distaste for casserole, but your food should not touch. How do you enjoy any part of it when it's basically mixed mush?

I actually like my chili better when it has been refrigerated and reheated because I think it is better when the flavors have had a chance to marinate together. Pretty much all foods are a conglomeration of flavors unless you are just eating cut vegetables or something like that. Why limit the possibilities?

When you eat pizza do you separate the toppings, cheese, sauce and crust before you eat it?

But you're not throwing some totally unrelated foods in there and letting the foods marry - you're marinating the meat (and beans, if you're doing it wrong) with the flavors of the broth. It's not really a 1:1 ratio.

Sometimes, but that's not really the same thing.

Beets. I’ve always passed the plate and will always continue to do so. Not sure who is eating it.

Considering the tact you are taking here, this is pretty bold of you.

Sweet potatoes with marshmallow topping, they're already ******* sweet, we don't need to put sugar on top of them!

I'm not a picky eater at all, so this one is tough. In the end, I could do without mashed potatoes and gravy. I like them, but I prefer them loaded with bacon, garlic, sour cream, cheese, etc as opposed to with gravy. Since we make both standard mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes, I'd kick the regular ones off the plate. Sweet potatoes go better with the meal for me. Plus, losing a "heavy" food frees up more room for desserts.

Are beets a Thanksgiving thing outside of Russia?

 

[cowgirl836]

Turkey
Pumpkin pie
Pecan pie
Mashed potatoes (they're fine but better options on T-day)

So.....you just hate Thanksgiving?

Pumpkin pie is the bomb dot com, and casseroles are great.
