9 Nasty Truths About Your Favorite Foods
Famous Death Row Last Meals
To quote Tom Cruise on The Today Show, "Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt..."
Matt Wilson over at Cracked.com gives his list of the Best and Worst Thanksgiving Food. I made a prediction before I even read the piece that turkey, stuffing, and pie would be in the "best" category, while green bean casseroles and yams would be in the "worst." Well, I was partly right. He actually lists turkey in the "worst" category!
Whaaaaa?
He gives big props to pie, corn on the cob, and yams though. He doesn't like the cranberry sauce in a can, and it makes me wonder if he even knows you don't have to have it in can, you can actually make fresh stuff yourself!
Matt, seriously, how can you not like turkey? Are you a Communist? (Funny part about the family awkwardness though.)
So what are your favorite ane least favorite Thanksgiving Day foods?

The worst Thanksgiving food is sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, and I could do without the turkey cooked the traditional way. It is really good smoked, though. And I have heard of it fried, also.

Actually, as a kid, I hated ALL of the traditional trimmings, except the stuffing and the chocolate lollypop in the shape of a turkey the restaurant gave kids at the end of the meal.
Now, I like PLAIN baked sweet potato (no marshmellows, please) dried cranberries and PLAIN string beans. But most of the traditional ways of cookign the staples still skeeve me out...

i also love yams with marshmallows! i never liked yams/sweet potatoes until i had them this way (around age 10 or 12). now i like sweet potatoes but still like them with mallows too.

My mom makes a wonderful stuffing that never sees the inside of a turkey...and we always have a huge garden salad of some kind. Oh, and a pumpkin dessert, of course.
I don't have a lot of interest in the other traditional holiday dishes.

I use both in mine! Not stuffed inside t he turkey. Pour turkey broth over it and bake till browned on the outside and moist in the middle. My secret is bells seasoning and rubbed sage!

(I pick at them when no one's looking). Fresh cranberry relish with orange and walnuts. Creamy mashed potatoes (yukon gold), sweet potato pudding with the marshmellows and tender bits of pecan. Ham, baked, with brown sugar and pineapples! Mac and cheese with cheddar and gruyere.
Worst: Succotash - an unholy blend of corn and lima beans, collard greens - every year I end up eating one bite, to taste for salt, because my mother can't seem to salt anything adequately, rutabagas - the big yellowy-orangey things coated in wax, boiled and smashed up with too much pepper and no fat at all. Blech. Mom always called them turnips; most of my life I thought I hated turnips.
