Since we are all about to eat way too much ( at least here in America) what side dish are you looking forward too the most. No Dessert, That's cheating!

I'd have to say Brussels sprouts, though I once made creamed onions which are fantastic. It's easy -- Peel a bunch of the little pearl onions, simmer them in chicken stock till tender, add some half & half and simmer at a low heat until thickened a little. Put in salt & pepper to taste and just a small pinch of nutmeg. Boom! ------------- "Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." -- John F. Kennedy |

Ooh, that does sound awesome, David. The stuffing recipe dates to the 30s (at least) in our family. I've managed to recreate it a few times with reasonable results, although I've never nailed the flavor and consistency as perfectly as the elders. One thing is they used to make it "in the bird" which I've never tried. Not because I'm afraid of food poisoning (hey, I'll eat soft eggs with glee), but for convenience I use glass casserole dishes. Or as we call them, hotdish. I also need more experimentation with quantity of turkey giblets to include....I have Dad's handwritten notes, but they are light on specifics. More like riddles to decipher  . He was quite old when he wrote me a "cheat sheet".------------- ...that moment you realize you like "Mob Rules" better than "Heaven and Hell" |

^ Tasty stuffing is harder than one would think, the flavors have to be developed or it's just bread with vegetables & broth. You're on the right track with giblets. I remember when Alton Brown was convinced that stuffing a turkey was evil: it drew juices from the bird, and undercooked stuffing could cause illness. But I think if you do it right it's fine. I still need to pick up some nog, and a nice sweet potato pie from our local bakery. ------------- "Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." -- John F. Kennedy |

I like stuffing (or dressing, cooked outside of the bird), which I make a little different than most. I use bread cubes, black olives (my grandfather's Croatian way of prepping dressing) and water chestnuts. Lots of onion, of course, and celery. ------------- "Into every rain, a little life must fall." ~Tom Rapp |

^ I needed to put more onion in my stuffing this year. And one thing my mom used which I didn't, and adds great flavor and moisture: prunes. Yep, prunes. Apricots too. ------------- "Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." -- John F. Kennedy |

We always celebrate Thanksgiving with some American friends, here in the UK. My favourite side is green beans. They always do them fried with shallots, pancetta and garlic. Really good! Sweet potato mash is yummy too. I also love pumpkin pie! Why has that never taken off here? ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

It's the 'Creme de la trailor park' (as my American friend calls it) in a can, that you squirt over it that makes it palatable.. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

I'm betting Shatner regrets posing for that cover. Pumpkin pie can be a little dog vomit-like. However a good sweet potato pie (usually made with yams, not sweet potatoes) is awesome. ------------- "Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." -- John F. Kennedy |
