1 hour ago, Margaret Pilgrim said:Mid-Century Thanksgiving, without exception was stuffed turkey, giblet gravy, mashed potatoes, mashed winter squash, creamed onions, cranberry sauce, rolls, pumpkin pie.
I grew up with a very similar spread. No rolls but with the addition of mashed carrots, mashed sweet potatoes, mashed turnips, mashed rutabaga and god knows what mash I may have forgotten plus a "relish tray" of olives, pickles and celery.
Yesterday's feast here in SoCal included a stuffed, 27 lb turkey, giblet gravy, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, corn casserole, roasted Brussels sprouts & apples, green bean casserole, blackberry & caraway slaw and rolls. Dessert was pumpkin pie, pecan pie, cranberry curd tart, all with whipped cream and/or ice cream and some extremely decadent cookies.
I resisted taking any leftovers home but would have loved some turkey tucked into one of those rolls for breakfast!
