What's your favorite part of Thanksgiving Dinner?
:) Stuffing & the giblet gravy.. I could eat till I am sick.. Good thing its only once a year.. :D
We have to pick just one? :( LOL. I picked stuffing, but LOVE it all.:)
Also I wanted to add, if there's anything I left out - if your favorite part is the cooking, the company, the leftovers - feel free to post that, too! It just only allows ten options. I know some people love the brussell sprouts, or certain ethnic favorites, I just put what I thought was most common on the list!
I make candies sweet potatoes, from my Mum's recipe. They are a huge favorite with ALL the extended family. And MY fave, lol.
Multiple choices OK, thank goodness! :)Quote:

For dessert, we usually have 2 or 3 items to choose from, lemon custard is a favorite of mine!
Pie and coffee
I picked turkey, potatoes, green bean cassarole and other - GRAVY!! I can't have it often, but Dick makes a roue gravy which uses very little milk. YUMM!
I don't cook on holidays - his family tradition - the men cook the holiday meal. Who am I to go against tradition? :eek:

I am a strange one. I do not eat Turkey on Thanksgiving. I prefer ham.
However, this year we are going to Bruce's family so I have no clue what we will be having. They do not do a traditional meal. It's always different every year.
With my family, my favorite dessert is my mom's coconut pie or her cheesecake with strawberries on top. It's the simple no-bake cheesecake. :)
We usually have a table full of desserts, sometimes more than the meal. LOL
Well, I'm another that couldn't pick just one! I love the turkey, my mom's homemade stuffing, mashed potatoes, all smothered in mom's homemade gravy and love my mom's homemade chicken and noodles! Can't wait!
I picked stuffing for the poll but my other would be candied sweet potatoes and mac and cheese. I also love having family together.
......being with family.......
As a kid, I never could choose - there would be apple pie, pumpkin pie, a small Mincemeat pie, and pecan pie, and Uncle Mac would bring his cottage cheese pie which had pineapple in it. I'd usually have a sliver of each - apple, pumpkin and pecan, and save mince for later. The cottage cheese pie was always just as good the next day, so I knew I could have some of that later!
In our family, we would always have the good rolls with holiday dinners, so that'd have to be a favorite, too! And the "other" stuffing - Grandma's kind, which had pork and ground beef and mashed potatoes and onions and various spices in it - dense, rich and scrumptious. And tomato aspic - again, only made for holiday events!
