My family has Turkey, but My gradma always has ham. Probably because it isn't worth cooking a whole turkey for one person. I much prefer turkey, so I guess it's good that way.

Turkey. My family has a turkey dinner for any of the major holidays. Those are the only times during the year that we eat turkey, where as we eat ham quite often throughout the year.

I am sorry, but there is NO Thanksgiving Day here, as it is a typical American holiday. No, no turkey, and no ham at all.... :(

Sooooo, why do I have a "Happy thanksgiving" and a "Turkey" in my signature??
Well, many of my friends are American!!! And.... we lived in the USA for 2 years, so I know what a special day it is for eveyone!!

We have both, big family. And double that since we celebrate Thursday with one family and Saturday with the other. I eat neither though. I have corn and potatoes. I get sick when I get excited or nervous so I don't eat much on the holidays, as I'd be meeting and greeting my food again later.

Sorry for not telling what i have, we eat turkey at my mother in laws and my mom fixes a ham with pineapple and brown sugar on it. I'm not much on turkey its a little to dry for me seems like no matter how you fix it its still dry.

I feel sorry for all the turkeys on that day,

We already had ThanksGiving here in Canada, I stuck with the stuffing and gravy ... I'm glad I'm not a fan of Turkey cause to me it taste kinda weird.

As a Turkey would say - ' RUN! for your life day! '

We're vegetarians so we have something else entirely. :) Last year Eric made a big Indian dinner. This year, I don't know since we're not having any company. It's supposed to be really nice weather so we'll probably take a hike with the dogs instead of eating a huge meal.

My daughter is trying to get us all to go vegetarian. Which I think would be good, but Thanksgiving without a turkey... Well that is going to take a bit of getting used too. I don't really like ham. Too salty.

Neither for me, seeing as I'm a vegetarian.
The fact that I'm a vegetarian doesn't stop my family from eating their meat, though^^. I don't even know what they're going to have.. I think turkey & deer.

David's mom always made both a turkey and ham, usually ate a little of each. I'll be having neither this year.

Turkey! I do not like the taste of ham. However growing up my grandmother was convinced that it wasn't a feast unless you had two different meats. So we always had both turkey and ham at Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Turkey, I don't like ham at all unless it's with Chicken Cordon Blue. It tastes odd to me. I've never had anything but Turkey as the meal for Thanksgiving. Don't know what we are having this year for Christmas. :p
