What's your favorite Thanksgiving food?

No question about it, the stuffing. Has to be homemade, with lots of onions. And slathered with homemade gravy (my mom's recipe).

Next, mashed potatoes, similarly slathered.

The turkey is only important for 2 reasons: (1) without the turkey, there wouldn't be pan drippings to serve as the base for the gravy. and (2) you need the turkey for the sandwiches for the the rest of the Thanksgiving weekend.

Pies are good, especially apple with real vanilla ice cream. But so are brownie sundaes - got to get some chocolate in there somewhere...

Happy eating, everyone!

What's your favorite Thanksgiving food?

While I love mashed potatoes, in my family it's heresy to serve it with poultry. Rice and gravy, baby!

But the *dressing* (cornbread) is probably my favorite...

Oh, and the mashed sweet potatoes get dosed with a brown sugar/butter/bourbon mixture before the mini-marshmallows go on top.

1) Haggen Daaz hands down

2) Skippy or Jif? NEVER!

3) Bagel or Bialy? tough one. i guess a good bagel edges out a good bialy only because you have to toast a bialy and a good bagel goes both ways.

4) Whipped or Regular Cream Cheese? regular.

5) Relish or Sauerkraut on your hot dogs? i prefer plain but if i had to... sauerkarut.

6) Milk or Dark Chocolate? dark.

7) Salted or Sweet Butter? salted.

8) Pastrami or Corned Beef on a Deli Sandwich? again a tough one... corned beef.

9) French Fries or Onion Rings? onion rings.

10) Espresso, Regular Coffee or Latte? americano.

11) Crispy or Pliant Bacon? pliant.

12) White or Dark Meat (on either chicken or turkey)? dark.
