Thanksgiving Dish That You Can Not, Will Not Eat Under Any Circumstances?

[Floyd R. Turbo]

🤢

[yesphan]

1. this

[Freddie]

8. It's a challenge

To get it out of the can looking just like that, then slice. I once tried a fancy cranberry sauce and my FIL asked for the canned stuff. He’s gone but the canned stuff remains.

[Dustlawyer]

22. Ditto! No cranberry's in any form except the group that sings Linger and Zombie!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

47. Actually, I like it, mainly because of how it comes out of the can.

[Fresh_Start]

2. green bean casserole from canned green beans nt

nt

[dewsgirl]

11. This is mine too, of course I don't like it with fresh green

beans either.

[Ohiogal]

17. That would get my vote, too, Fresh_Start

A mushy vegetable covered in nauseating glop. No thanks.

[LisaM]

29. I don't like it, but it's the mushrooms that bug me the most.

Mushrooms and Thanksgiving - UGH.

[CanonRay]

37. Especially with that miserable cream of mushroom sauce on it.

Yeeeech

[ProudMNDemocrat]

42. Cream of Mushroom makes it good.

Rather than milk, I use heavy ripping cream. I add the onions in with my mixture using frozen French cut Green Beans, 2 to 3 tbsp. of low sodium soy sauce depending on the size of my batch.

Bake for 50 minutes uncovered in a 350° oven. Sprinkle more onions on top of batch as a crust cover. Bake for 10 minutes more or until Golden Brown.

No matter how big a batch there is, there is hardly any left.

[Kali]

3. that's the one

though I could pick the top of the toasted marshmallow off and eat that. overly sweetened sweet potatoes?

[Freddie]

4. Oyster stuffing

Don’t like clams and oysters at all. I make a PA Dutch “filling” which is potatoes, bread cubes, sautéed celery and onions. Nothing weird.

[yellowdogintexas]

20. Cornbread dressing made with crumbled cornbread

crumbled up stale biscuits, onion, celery, egg and some broth from the bird.

Baked in a big pan or iron skillet. No stuffed birds allowed.

[LisaM]

34. Agree, cornbread dressing is horrible.

What were they thinking? I like my stuffing (yes, I stuff the bird!) with bread, onions, celery, poultry seasoning, butter, and broth

I've been asked to eat cornbread stuffing or dressing a couple of times, and it tastes AWFUL.

[Freddie]

43. Me neither

Food safety, plus I like it a little crunchy on top and soft underneath. Mmmm...time to plan for my Big Grocery Shopping on Sat.

[TruckFump]

60. My absolute favorite!!!!!!!!!!!

See...for everyone who has a dislike...there is someone with a like!

[csziggy]

70. Same here

My brother in law makes what people say is a killer oyster dressing - with fresh Apalachicola oysters, home made bread, all from fresh or scratch ingredients. I just cannot get around the oysters, no matter how they are cooked.

I think the first time I had oysters, raw on the half shell - and unknown to me, Tabasco sauce - ruined those shellfish for life for me. My gag reflex kicked in, but that could not overcome the blisters I get from any hot pepper.

[MontanaMama]

5. Stuffing/dressing

of any type. Green bean casserole with canned green beans and cream of mushroom soup.

[samnsara]

16. that cassarole is the worse and i can only imagine it was invented in the war torn 40s

[LisaM]

35. No, probaby the Depression-era 30s.

The US was in the war of course, but I wouldn't describe us as having been "war-torn".

If you read Depression-era cookbooks though (fascinating), you'll find lots of recipes like green-bean casserole.

[eppur_se_muova]

41. Nope, 1950's. Invented in Campbell's test kitchens.

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/remembering-dorcas-reilly-inventor-green-bean-casserole-180970635/



The economy was booming and all kinds of consumer conveniences were hitting the market. All kinds of curious recipes were developed in General Foods, Kraft, and Campbell's test kitchens at that time, as corps pushed their products and destroyed many home cooking traditions in the process.

[LisaM]

45. Ah, yes, the convenience-era 50s.....

Reading the history of the US through cookbooks is really interesting!

I do have a couple of 1930s cookbooks, and they are loaded with items like mayonnaise and Jello (which I learned indicated a sign of class status, since both items depended on refrigeration).

No one in my family eats green-bean casserole, so the recipe has never been in my family. I went to make it once for an extended family Thanksgiving, and I could not for the life of my find those onion ring thingies. I phoned a friend, turns out they are with the canned vegetables.

[Botany]

6. Lima Beans

n/t

[yellowdogintexas]

19. we always used the little tiny frozen ones

and made a light cream sauce for them. The trick is to not overcook them. Canned ones are an abomination

[dameatball]

67. I use those in my pot pies.

[Cartoonist]

7. Do some people make a dish out of the neck?

If so, I don't even want to know about it.

[Sanity Claws]

9. I use it for broth.

[radical noodle]

36. My parents grew up during the depression

They both ate necks and backs because that was what they had when they were kids (if they were lucky).

[Runningdawg]

53. That is for the cat

[Cartoonist]

57. I approve

[Major Nikon]

63. Giblet gravy

I use every piece of the bird one way or another.

[redstatebluegirl]

10. Pumpkin pie, I can't stand it.

[demigoddess]

59. you haven't eaten mine.

I make it with less milk, double the spices, and Martha Stewart pie crust recipe. it is more pumpkiny and less milky yuck. But each to his own.

[Skittles]

69. but, I cannot stand pumpkin

so, no thanks

[Polly Hennessey]

12. I will eat it all.

I mean it is Thanksgiving. Love it all because I don’t have to cook.

[Cirque du So-What]

13. Giblet gravy

If I can skim out all pieces of heart, liver, etc. from the gravy, I'm OK. If one slips through and ends up in a forkful of mashed potatoes and makes contact with my hard palate, I may projectile vomit. I ordinarily have a strong constitution, but something about bird organs in gravy makes me wanna toss up.

[samnsara]

15. oh that one too!!

[yellowdogintexas]

18. I just get gravy and the hard boiled eggs.

At least every giblet gravy I ever ate growing up had hard boiled eggs in it.

My mom told me that was to use the eggs which were still in the hen's abdominal cavity and not waste them.

Mom always used the giblets and the neck to make the broth, and after she scooped out the organs and bones, there were flecks of the neck meat floating around. Then she spooned out about a cup of the pan juices from the bird, added the eggs and then thickened it. It was really good.

[Cirque du So-What]

27. If you're trying to make me sick,

it's totally working.

[samnsara]

14. green bean mushroom soup cassarole!

[Freddie]

44. You must use cream of celery!

Mushrooms are gross.
My future DIL asked for the recipe for GBC, my boy must have told her how much he likes it.

[MatthewHatesTrump2]

21. Stuffing with mushrooms, dark meat turkey, & cranberry sauce

[yellowdogintexas]

23. overly sweet casserole as shown above, and cranberry jelly

yuck

I like the fresh cranberry and orange one with nuts in it. Makes a ton and freezes well. You can make muffins and other things with it.

I will eat green bean casserole at holiday dinners and pot lucks. My daughter makes one with fresh green beans and an organic mushroom soup (not with cream ) that is quite tasty.

We always had scalloped oysters and I don't like to eat them but I love the flavor. It's a texture thing. So I would pick out the oysters from mine and give them to my sister and eat the crackers & cream. Same with oyster stew hand off oysters to sis and drink the broth.

I made them for a pot luck when I lived in Cambridge and this guy from South Carolina was going all over the room looking for the "Southerner who brought the scalloped oysters".

[nevergiveup]

24. mincemeat pie

To me it tastes like it looks.

[lastlib]

40. I'd like to have my grandmother make one for you--then I'LL eat it!

I loved hers! (Granted, it was better than 97% of all the mincemeat pies ever made on earth, but I still liked it.)

[doc03]

65. My aunt made it from a hog's head it was

delicious. The store bought stuff not so good I doubt there is any meat in it.

[LeftInTX]

48. Eww...my mom would make it every once in awhile

No one liked it but her.

Then one year, she made one just for herself

[3catwoman3]

25. Anything with squash of any kind.

The texture/mouthfeel of squash makes me want to

[guillaumeb]

26. Meat. eom

[Scoopster]

28. Pickled Artichoke Hearts

They're usually part of the antipasto course at any family meal. I simply can't stand 'em.

[Ferryboat]

30. Family loved lutefisk.

Every Thanksgiving and Christmas.

[NNadir]

31. Turkey.

I'm a veg type.

[radical noodle]

32. Oyster dressing or

anything with brussels sprouts.

[BuffaloJackalope]

33. My grandmother's Ham & Shrimp Aspic

Basically salty unflavored jello with meat

[applegrove]

38. Squash. I hated it as a kid. I used to pack it into my cheeks instead

of swallowing it. My proper grandmother would then casually say i looked like a chipmunk. I will eat it if i am a guest now. Or if it is spaghetti squash. But not if family makes it.

[yonder]

39. That photo in the OP is a start - whatever it is. Followed by

the cranberry blob and then sweet potatoes.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

49. I make Mashed Sweet potatoes...

I boil mine 20 minutes once the water begins to bubble. Then I blanch them so I can peel them. 3 lbs. or so per batch.

In a large bowl, I smash them with my hand masher, add 1/2 to 2/3 cup cream, 3 tbsp. butter, 1/2 tsp. salt. Blend u til smooth.

Place in a baking dish sprayed with a non stuck spray. Sprinkle Brown sugar mixed with some butter as a crust. bake 10 minutes at 350°.

[yonder]

51. I would TRY a bite but it's the hot, mushy-sweet glaziness that does me in.

My mind tells my belly that potatoes, squash, etc. are supposed to be savory. I just can't do it.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

54. My kids love it.....

But not wirh marshmallows. Brown sugar, yes.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

46. That one.

That cloyingly sugary sweet potato-marshmallow goop is just disgusting.

[Nay]

50. cornbread stuffing.

[Runningdawg]

52. Stuffing of ANY kind

[stopbush]

55. Green bean casserole in any guise.

[handmade34]

56. turkey

[bobbieinok]

58. Any Brussels sprout recipe, most sweet potato recipes

[TruckFump]

61. Marshmallows on sweet potatotes.

Sweet potatoes...yes. Marshmallows on them? Hell no!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pansypoo53219]

62. 1???hate pumpkins, hate stuffing(mushy bread?), green bean anything(WHY????)-

i eat ƒresh summer beans. i GROW pole beans(farmer's market does not have blue lakes). i do put up w/ sage, but i hate that too. just gimme the skin! and gravy. and more gravy.

[doc03]

64. I see nothing here I wouldn't eat. nt

[hatrack]

66. That, exactly that . . .

What a horrible thing to do to sweet potatoes.

[NotASurfer]

68. Because Thanksgiving magic, it's all good

Andrew Zimmern could dish up a nice platter of broiled tarantulas and I'd have seconds

[smirkymonkey]

71. That casserole you are showing in your OP and stuffing out of the bird.

I hate mushy stuffing! Ugh, soggy bread just grosses me out. I like it started on the stove top and then put in a casserole dish and baked in the oven so it's nice and crispy on top and kind of dry and fluffy on the inside. I can't even look at stuffing out of a bird.

[PufPuf23]

72. Nothing with Jello or marshmellows.

Exe was Jewish and I would joke about sitting upwind of the gefilte fish at holiday meals.
