Went other dish. My mom makes a rally good stuffing. Which i guess is a misnomer since its not stuffed in the bird.
Aww damn. Knew I'd forgotten something.
The best xmas food comes after xmas with the turkey and stuffing sandwiches. :drool:
I guess you get that early.
My look of cultural superiority.
Dia de Acção de Graças ? Action de Grâce ?
Non cognosco.
The holopchi.
Thanksgiving is always on the second Monday in early October.
Sweet potatoes and cornbread are really not a thing you'll find at a Canadian thanksgiving. Green bean casserole is optional. But I understand the history of all three dishes.
But I have to say - who the fuck serves rice at Thanksgiving? (unless stuffed inside cabbage rolls in a tasty holopchi that is)
Had to look up holopchi. I agree ukranian cabbage rolls are the superior ones. I'll keep calling them cabbage rolls though :P
Only German Kohlrouladen shall suffice!

I celebrated one Thanksgiving when I lived in the US and the turkey was my favorite dish as far as I can remember.
I picked the last option of course. :frog:
The poll is late.

What is White Gravy?
And could SNL please to a skit about that.
Turkey is my favorite (and Cranberry Sauce my favorite side.) Following Josq's line of thinking, the best part is the turkey tamales with cranberry sauce I'll make out of the leftovers.
Ham.
Jesus Christ, Maine <_< :ultra:
I do love Green Bean Casserole so I guess I fit in. I voted that but the stuffing is more of a highlight for me.
Apparently I moved from Brown Gravy to Mashed Potatoes. This just shows me that now, more than ever, we need to get along.
Mac and cheese? Wtf!

I believe it is a (US) Southern abomination of grease made into a roux and mixed with some cream. Basically a bachemelle with pork fat as the base instead of (just) butter.
A delicious abomination.
And brown gravy I guess is just gravy?

My dad loved those.
In Sweden those are called kåldolmar, a word that is partly Turkish, and this is likely the result (in one way or another) of Charles XII's stay in Turkey in the early 18th century.

This is how you can tell Germany is a rich country (cabbage filled with meat), and Ukraine is a poor country (cabbage filled with rice).
Holopchi are still very good. Being rich Canadians we sometimes crumble a tiny bit of meat into the rice mixture, but it's still primarily rice.
The version my mom was taught by our neighbour was a mixture of rice and meat, I'd say 70 meat? Maybe less.
My mom makes this awesome oyster stuffing. She doesn't care for it but my brother and I love it, so that's my choice. That and pumpkin pie.

What does that make the UK with pigs in blankets?

I can't see the picture but I'm kind of scared about how the brits interpretation might turn that into an abomination

Sausages wrapped in bacon.
It is in it's own way monstrous - but a delight :ph34r:
Oh, like Berner Würstl, then (bratwurst with cheese bits inside, wrapped in bacon).
Mashed taters MMMM HMMMM

My mom just told be that the supermarket didn't have any oysters.
This is the greatest Thanksgiving tragedy ever. :cry:

Bacon grease, specifically. Crumble pork sausage into it and you got yourself the topping for biscuits and gravy. :cool:
A little bit behind - just putting my brandied apple pie in the oven now.
We had BBQ pork ribs cooked in a crockpot along with potatoes.
Wishing you chaps a very merry Thanks Giving. :cheers:
As for the poll, pumpkin soup for me. Never tasted it until my first Thanksgiving dinner, and after coming back from the US is now part of my regular diet. It may sound silly but I fucking love the thing.
Thanks, Mongers. :cheers:
Happy Turkey Day, USians. :)

Definitely plenty of meat there in my experience. I remember the taste being meaty, the rice part was just a filling and not really factoring in the taste profile.
