What's on the menu for Thanksgiving dinner in your household?

As if you don't take part at all, Brat.

Update:

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?

Update 2:

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

    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!

    We had:

    Beverages: sparkling water or grape juice,

    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.

    Vegetable is not just a technological term, it is a cooking term. So the qualifications to become vegetable are not very coherent, which is why we have cases like the tomato: people argue both ways.

    My spouse and i favor vegetables but like fruits that we use in salad such as tomatoes and avocados.

    I'll settle down with a bag of potato chips.

    My Sistas at NOW have big bananas in the head quarter. Any GWS feminists want to join in, be welcomes. Also, expecting loads of coconut milk.

    and Rio, what sausage you prepare for Hanukkah? For no joy is greater than the Jewish Joy. The Joy of the God Chosen people to lead the Goyim*?

    We Israel Jews are preparing a very big gift for the Arabic Children in Gaza Strip: a 500 pounds Cluster Bomb, made in USA, sent forth by H. Rodham Clinton the communist-feminist!

    God bless America! He who protects the Jews will be blessed by God!
