What's on the menu for Thanksgiving dinner in your household?
As if you don't take part at all, Brat.

A few people have been talking about it lately and I have visions of cranberries dancing in my head, so let's keep this going. Here's my family's version of Thanksgiving dinner, with a Jewish twist:
Beverages: water, red wine, or soft drinks First course: chicken soup with kreplach (dumplings), challah (egg bread) Second course: gefilte fish (whitefish meat rolled into chunks with little pieces of carrot – it tastes much better than it sounds), tossed salad Third course: turkey, cranberry sauce, roasted potatoes, carrot pudding (carrot cake made in a mould) with peas Dessert: chocolate cake, grapes and strawberries, coffee or tea
What gets served at your place?

Yes, Misty, but we generally repeat this menu with different main courses for all of our holiday dinners.

Main course: two 20 lb turkeys, with gravy made from the drippings
Side dishes: mashed potatoes, stuffing, potato and onion gratin, creamed corn, green bean casserole, Russian salad, yogurt soup, lentil soup, djepelg/gardosh hichin (cheesy potato breads/pies), et hichin (meat pie), cheese stuffed rolls, cranberry sauce
I went out to a restaurant and had prime rib with stuffing, mashed potatoes, carrots, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie. I have nothing against turkey, but I'm certainly not making a whole turkey and then have to eat it for a month!
Every thing served together in one big course: Baby spinach salad, sage stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, mashed yams with brown sugar and butter, fresh cranberry sauce, roasted vegetables, fried and breaded tofu cutlets.
Dessert: pumpkin pie, ice cream topped with a dollop of whipped cream and coffee
Then we hiked up a nearby mountain, came back, watched football and began a night of pure, unbridled debauchery.
Food is women's talk? LoL, I love food and eating, and I don't see how this has anything to do with gender.
We went down to my parent's house, and we had turkey, a cranberry mold, brussels sprouts w/cheese sauce, mashed potatoes, some sweet potato thing, crescent rolls, stuffing, and a green bean dish.
For dessert there was pumpkin pie, apple pie, and mincemeat pie.
