DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Everything Else... So whats on the table today?

That's what's called a reverse-sear-on-steroids.

Haha love Joe Thomas

360 days a year to eat the seared steak and shrimp combo plus.

What's on the menu on thanksgiving?
Turkey? Turkey...
Stuffing?, stuffing...
Pumpkin pie! pumpkin pie.
add to it what you will.

It's a Patriotic duty almost.

Luckily for us, the first Thanksgiving dinner back in 1620 (or so) was something pretty good, like turkey. What if the first Thanksgiving dinner had been something disgusting like haggis, pineapple pizza, or the Impossible Burger? Because I'm not eating any of those, traditional or not. I don't even go to Burger King anymore because they might accidently (or purposely) give me a vegetable-based burger.

They had all of those, our forefathers' weren't stupid enough to not stop eating them.
Funny how things that don't taste good, might not continue through 10 generations of tradition.

I just read that 8 times and I still don't know what you are saying.

1. Full Bird Turkey (Special seasoning rub on skin)
2. Stuffing (not dressing). Yes- stuffing cooked in bird's cavity- it's an art+science).
3. Mashed (Yukon Gold) potatoes.
4. Turkey gravy.
5. Roasted Brussels Sprouts with chestnuts
6. Cranberry sauce (crushed from fresh), flavored with cinnamon/clove/rosemary, and fine-chopped chipotles in adobo (spicyyy....)
7. Sweet potato/Pecan/Pumpkin/Apple pie

I'm certain that I'm forgetting at least 2-3 sides, but presently, I'm falling victim to the effects of L Triptophan...




talk soon,
Clembolicious.

bzzzzzzzz......

I had a great taste of a few pies the past few days: strawberry, apple, pumpkin, peanut butter ... I may have also gained 10 lbs, but who’s counting

I mostly agree. The problem was numbers. My wife is in Florida to be with her mother. My 2 oldest are in other states and were going to do things with their in-laws family this year, my youngest was staying here, so I stayed to be with him for the day. I didn't want to have mounds of turkey left over, so went with the roast.

I don't eat meat anymore, however, I have been to Scotland and had traditional haggis and it is a lot better than people think. IT was even piped in w/bagpipes and people wearing traditional Scottish clothing. It's only the casing that looks rather revolting (a grey loaf), but it is no different than the casing of a true sausage and once it is split open you serve what is cooked inside, which tastes like peppered meat. Corned beef hash or Scrapple (those on the mid-Atlantic coast will know what Scrapple is) immediately comes to mind.

Black pudding, however....now that IS disgusting. That is served with breakfast along with fried eggs, baked beans, fried tomatoes, bacon etc.
