U.S. Turkey Day/Thankgsgiving/Pre-Black-Friday-Dinner

[Valmy]

If I lived in Texas, I'd have chili for Thanksgiving.

We usually have Posole Rojo for the soup, that at least has chili peppers.

I have never had sopapilla cheesecake but now I really want to correct this gaping hole in my cultural experience

I have a feeling I will be consuming this in the near future.

I think dirt pudding is pudding covered with crushed oreo (I guess without the cream) so that the upper texture looks like dirt.  It's not bad.

Yes.... I know what dirt pudding is, but I associate it with crap little kids learn how to make in kindergarten and Sunday school.  I guess Ohioans are just that remedial when it comes to cooking.

I don't think any of those generally show up at thanksgiving for me.

Here's what typically shows up at our Thanksgiving:

turkey and gravy (duh)
mashed taters
sweet tater casserole, which we are making this year
green bean casserole
regular dressing and oyster dressing
rolls
seven layer salad
corn pudding
pumpkin pie
pecan pie
various cookies

[garbon]

We generally have:

turkey and gravy + stuffing
mashed potatoes
sweet potato casserole
green bean casserole
rolls
loose corn
deviled eggs
spinach dip
tortilla chips and salsa
green onion dip and ruffles
apple pie
jello salad (though over time this has just become jello + cool whip)
some cranberry crap

[Caliga]

I forgot about the cranberry and deviled eggs.  We have those too.

I think I'll have Pasta on thursday night.

I think I'll have Pasta on thursday night.

Kraft dinner?

I haven't yet decided whether I'll take the meat loaf or the mushroom soup from the lunch lady on Thursday.

Due to my sister in law's family not being at our Thanksgiving this year, the quality of food will automatically improve.  Instead of asparagus from a can, not quite fully cooked cheesey potatoes, and cream of mushroom soup-green bean casserole, we'll have some real damned side dishes for a change.

white trash?

Kraft dinner? 

No, that's a Saturday lunch staple not fit for a Diner.

[derspiess]

white trash?

No, just really provincial and unsophisticated as far as food tastes are concerned.  You should see the fireworks when we unload some relatively tame Argentine food on them.

I'm going to visit relatives this year, so I won't get to cook.
