You get 5 items and a dessert. What does your plate look like? Gravy doesn't count as an item, you can have that for free.

Turkey 75% white, 25% dark

Stuffing (my wife’s)

Mashed potatoes ……gravy drizzled over turkey and on some of the potatoes

Noodles 

Roll w butter

For dessert I’m feeling a thick and rich peanut butter pie

Sorry green beans, orange fluff, cranberry sauce

I only want/need three items. Turkey (white meat and crispy skin), stuffing & cranberry sauce. Not that canned/jelly crap. Mom used to make a cranberry sauce that had oranges and 7UP in it. So good.

Turkey (90% dark)
Green bean casserole
Mashed potatoes
Stuffing
A healthy slathering of gravy
Cranberry sauce (homemade)
Pumpkin pie, probably

We don't do turkey anymore bc 90% of it doesn't get eaten.

Prime Rib
Mashed Potatoes with some of the prime rib au jus on it. 
Noodles
Broccoli rice casserole 
Asparagus

Cherry Crumb Pie

I dislike turkey, worst tasting protien IMHO.

I'd love prime rib at my table.

Southern Ohio style: 

1. Turkey leg and thigh

2. Mashed potatoes with gravy

3. Potato salad 

4. Green beans with bacon

5. Mac and cheese 

Sweet potato pie for dessert. 

1. Turkey
2. Mashed Potatoes
3. Stuffing
4. Crescent Rolls

1. Vegetable Medley (Carrots/Parsnips/Beans/Onion/Brussels)

I usually don't have desert, but I guess if I had to I'd go Ice Cream with a piece of Cherry Pie

1. Turkey (gravy)

2. Mashed Potatoes (gravy)

3. Noodles

4. Stuffing (gravy)

5 Glazed Carrots

Desert - Apple Pie

Turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, creamed corn/ corn casserole, green bean casserole. Gravy on all of it.

Not big on dessert, but I guess I’ll go with Pumpkin roll. 

Smoked Brisket

cranberries (actually made)

corn casserole

more smoked brisket

Stuffing 

(Gravy over all of that)

Sad

I’ll eat a extra plate of perfection for you 

1. turkey drumstick
2. my late mother's stuffing (wife works hard every year trying to come close)
3. celery stuffed with cream cheese mixed with french onion soup mix
4. cranberry jelly sauce from the can
5. My late mother-in-law's rolls (fortunately, wife has the recipe and still makes them)

Dessert:  Pumpkin pie, with coffee   

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Hope you all have a great day with family and friends. 

Go Bucks!

Go Browns!

I take my comment back after reading this… happy thanksgiving 

Wild boar. Kelp salad. Crickets in your pie crust.

These are just a few things that may end up on Thanksgiving menus as climate change takes its toll on the planet. https://t.co/O54Yhs87kD pic.twitter.com/BJ3CLzGMWA

Wild boar is fucking delicious. I think I ate about 20lbs of it in Italy. I’d be down for that ending up on my plate haha.

It’s kinda got a nutty flavor if I recall. Not gamey at all, which was a shock. Really good and honestly, not like any other meat I’ve ever had. Pretty unique. 

Hmmm…wouldn’t have guessed.

Wild boar seems quite hill jack

At my school I kinda throw out a title to the kid that just has that rough deep country look to him, usually a pretty tough kid without much at home. Most likely to kill a wild boar. For example I had a kindergarten boy years back and one of the little old lunch ladies asked him what he wanted for Christmas….he said “some boots, a huntin bow and some deer piss” lol

He was the original.

Wild boar? Yes. Cricket pie? No.

Wild boar is definitely fantastic,  but I will not be eating any bugs.
