Thanksgiving Traditional Foods

On that point I beg to differ.......

More for me, then! I think Ma and I always liked it best anyway. I cannot have it anymore as Worcestershire sauce has stuff in it that I am allergic to, as does Tabasco sauce, but I can reminisce, anyway!

Hmmm, I have not. Maybe there's no lemon or citric acid in it, and I can try it? I'll have to look for it. As for the red pepper jelly, I am allergic to peppers of any color, so that's out.

Well we had the standard stuff growing up, but we also had rutabagas or waxed turnips every Thanksgiving or Christmas. It feel to me to cleave, peel, and chop again the rutabaga for the meal. I like rutabaga better than mashed potatoes.

My mother's stuffing was an acquired taste. It is excellent for adults but not children. It was not at all sweet.

I'm starting my own tradition this year: home-made apple sauce. I still have to sweeten it. I really do prefer no sugars, but it does need a little bit.
