What Crazy Thing Would You Like for a Holiday Meal?

Sooner — Sun, 03 Nov 2024 20:34:41 GMT

Today I allowed as how we might just have fried chicken for Thanksgiving! I haven't had that in almost 10 years. So that might work!

What about you? Anything off the charts you would be happy with? Chili dogs for New Year's Eve?

Candy bars and popcorn for a meal?

What's calling your name!

I've been thinking about making stuffed portobello mushrooms for Thanksgiving...

What outlandish, crazy thing would I like for holiday dinner?

A man in the kitchen making it for me! 😙

I had a friend back home whose husband had served KP (kitchen) duty in the military. He would always shop and cook their holiday meals.

I could eat some real old fashioned Caesar Salad (made with raw egg & whole anchovies) and made in a big old wooden bowl. Then for the main course Surf&Turf.

PS: I dont eat the anchovies they just flavor the salad.

@Sooner I'll take fried chicken over turkey ANY day of the week. Once in a while when I shop at Safeway I will pick up a piece of fried chicken from the deli.

Our TG is traditionally a TV dinner. Years ago I was in a wheel chair and could not do much. Mom came for dinner and we had TV dinners and bought pies. She told us it was the best TG dinner ever, so we keep up the tradition and remember Mom. I don't eat turkey (vegetarian) hubbs enjoys his dinner. This year I think we will get a Bundt cake at that place that sells them(really delicious).

Steamed crab legs and wedge of iceberg lettuce with blue cheese and bacon. Butterscotch pie for dessert.

If the sky is the limit, I'll say lobster tails and crab legs. We haven't had either in ages...

We actually have been thinking about it though...maybe next holiday season.

We're having prime rib roast for Thanksgiving & Christmas, Christmas eve will be a turkey breast and New Year's eve/day will be shrimp & sea scallops w/garlic butter...

If we are down south in time, I will have grilled blackened Ahi tuna, but with all the other Thanksgiving sides - mashed potatoes and dressing.....

There is a place right on the Gulf that we go to for this. Most likely this will be Christmas dinner, too.

I am enjoying the responses, but I'm sorry to say most of you are not putting up some crazy thing! Something you would just love to eat and others would think you are nuts!

Like maybe Butterfingers crushed and caramel sauce and on top of chocolate fudge ice cream. Washed down with Coke Cola!

Warm out of the oven slightly under baked Nestle Toll House chocolate chip cookies (that come in the tube) with a big dollop of vanilla ice cream. Sheer bliss.

You have to put them on the cookie sheet close together so they kinda bake into one slightly underbaked warm yummy-ness.

Oh my......

I just have to have the traditional things---last year, we went to my brothers for dinner--he cooked lamb---which was delicious--but it wasn't turkey!! And no one made any stuffing or turkey gravy --even he said he missed that too. Now for Xmas dinner, we often do alot of different menus from lasagna to paninni sammies and soup to a pork crown roast to prime rib and yorkshire pudding---just love turkey dinner anytime of year!!!

All right @Sooner, I'll follow that with fresh from the oven peach cobbler with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Then I'll be fully miserable. Happy?

Actually, back in the days when I made a big Christmas dinner I'd make baked sweet potatoes with caramel sauce, marshmallows and pecans. My mom, who had a mean sweet tooth (always knew where I got one too), would push everything else aside and go for that dish first!
