Re: Thanksgiving Staple that you don’t like

Do I have to choose one ... gravy, canned cranberries, green bean casserole, and turnips.  Pecan pie is okay for 2 bites but I can't do a whole slice.

 

Glad to read I'm not alone in much of this!

we make our own with fresh berries also. it includes cranberries, green apple, raspberries, and orange juice or grand marnier. it is so good that some put it on vanilla ice cream for dessert.


@sunshine45 , I always put a glug of grand mariner in my cranberry sauce, delish !

Easy for me.....green bean casserole.  I'm not much of a fan of green beans in any form.

Sad to see all the hate for the canned cranberries.  I love it as long as it's the jellied stuff.  Don't care for whole berry cranberry sauce in any form.  

 

Not big on the green bean casserole either.

Although I love fresh green beans, I cannot stand the green bean casserole.

Re: Thanksgiving Staple that you don’t like

Have never seen the big deal around either stuffing or dressing and not much of a fan of pumpkin pie.

Sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie. 

 

Love jellied Ocean Spray Cranberry sauce, wouldn't be Thanksgiving without it.  Don't care for whole berry cranberry sauce.

Re: Thanksgiving Staple that you don’t like

I don't eat cranberries except in oatmeal cookies.  I really don't care for turkey.  I fill up on stuffing and potatoes and gravy.  And I like to put ketchup on my stuffing.  I know, I get the side eye for that.  I also prefer my yams with just butter and not candied.
