OT The most popular Thanksgiving side dishes by state

[EL PRESIDENTE]

We do dinner as well....the idea is that the house smells like cooking all day

I usually fly up Thanksgiving day, take a walk around downtown Portland then go back to parents home and make the mashed potatoes. Yukon gold. With lots of butter and sour cream, sometimes cream cheese

My wife cooks up a storm and I run the espresso machine and play bartender....I'll prep for her and wash dishes as she needs space to do her magic

I'm making Brussels sprouts this year at my girlfriend's parents house. And also making mini bourbon pumpkin cheesecakes with salted caramel sauce and toasted pecans on top.

Gonna miss Thanksgiving a ton this year.

Thinking about skipping the turkey and opting for a big Chinook salmon grilled on a cedar block with lemon slices and herbs

I think of biscuits or gravy I think of Dairymart...not Thanksgiving....that's my going fishing breakfast on the road!

Exactly. Biscuits are for breakfast.

Trying to decide what mini desserts to make for my mini Thanksgiving. Mini pecan pie, pumpkin pie, bourbon bread pudding (making bourbon brown sugar glazed turkey so it goes), mini cranberry upside down cake?

I think more crackers do Thanksgiving lunch or afternoon

true fact...when I first read that sentence I was thinking you were talking about crackers as a side dish....another Ritz joke maybe

I always end up getting crackers and cheese at the last minute

I had Robuchon Potato puree a few years back at one of his spots in vegas (the cheaper one) its like a 2:1 potato to butter ratio. Insanely good.

That sounds like a Julia Childs recipe...she was a butter fanatic.

Green bean casserole is white trash as fuck

Green bean casserole is good if made with fresh green beans. If it’s canned green beans it’s soggy garbage.

We have Thanksgiving dinner

We put on movies and play childhood video games downstairs while the parents eat up stairs (we usually have 20 to 30 people over)

Do you sit at the kids table or adult table?

I’ve lived in Oregon all my life except for a stint in the Air Force. I’ve never once had biscuits as a Thanksgiving side dish. Sweet potato casserole and cranberry jello. And stuffing. And mashed potatoes. Green bean casserole.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Do you sit at the kids table or adult table?

Kids. We all take our food downstairs to the family room. Have tables set up and TV. All the older folk are in the dining room and kitchen

 

[Minstrel]

Stuffing is the best, but if we're counting mac & cheese, I'll go with that.

 

[riverman]

Hot apple cider with a cinnamon stick

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Honestly I'd be happy eating only stuffing on Thanksgiving. It's by far the best part.

But I do have to say that I have indeed had biscuits slathered in gravy on Thanksgiving.

The side dish I bring varies each year, but they all share a couple things in common: lots of cleavage and short skirts.

I’m disappointed in Oregon


Also I had no idea that macaroni and cheese was a side dish for thanksgiving. That is now my favorite side dish for thanksgiving.

Our side dishes are always cranberry sauce, dressing, mashed potatoes, gravy and candied yams, sometimes green bean casserole and always pumpkin pie with whipped cream. A nice white wine like a German Riesling. Oh, and beer and football.

The bourbon bread pudding sounds fabulous. Pineapple upside down cake would also be wonderful. Pumpkin pie is always a hit. Dammit, it all makes my mouth water.
