Canned cranberry plunked onto a plate in a solid congealed mass is awful.
That is how it was always served when I was a child. Then one year, my mom. Was trying out different recipes and hoping to find one her pickiest child would eat. Grinding up raw berries and oranges together into cranberry relish (there’s some other stuff in the recipe, but no twigs or leaves) suddenly made cranberries good.
Decades later, I was served those stupid canned cranberries by an in-law, but she cooked them in a sauce pan with some other ingredients - made it completely different.
Who in their right mind serves Brussels sprouts for Thanksgiving?
Cornbread can be sweet, dry, or moist as cake, can be in a dressing with bacon, can be served with maple syrup and real butter, or gravy and the main dish (ham or turkey, I’m not particular), but if it isn’t at my holiday meal gathering, I will go make some myself. Required component.
Anything with mayonnaise in it. I give you my word, I had rather eat dirt.
If I catch you putting nuts or raisins if stuffing I will wipe your blood line from the face of the earth. I can live with celery and onion if you chop it small enough instead of throwing in huge chunks. For the sake of being contentious I'll say that I like stuffing with black olives in it.
And when I make a sammich with the leftover turkey, I'm putting mayonnaise on it.
Brussel sprouts and I are incompatible. If they are in the room, I will leave the room post haste. Something about the odor is like syrup of ipecac only much more quickly effective.
Obviously my choice in the poll is clear.
PS what the heck are creamed onions? Is that even a thing?
I love all the stuff on that list (saving an ignorance of creamed onions, but I’m amenable). I picked stuffing inside the bird because it is a botulism e-ticket. But if it’s on the table, I’m not going to say no.
Ignore Alien Orders
Brussels Sprouts are vile and disgusting.
THE END
PS - Pumpkin Pie sucks too.
Don’t blame me. I didn’t vote for that dumb bastard.
