what Thanksgiving dish do you pass on?

@piphigirl doesn't like sweet potatoes.  

blasphemy.

@Springmomv2, @medph00 and @batdaughter4eva don't like homemade cranberry sauce.  

I like both the can and the homemade. 

SO, what dish will you always pass on?  

I don't care for green bean casserole.  Also, at my sMILs family get together, a bunch of them bring this stuff called "meat dressing" and it basically looks like taco bell ground beef in a sick sauce.  :::Shudder::: but it's their thing, whatever.

My MIL makes the most awful warm pasta and potatoe salad.   They are not even good at cookouts why she makes them during the holiday I have no idea.   I also pass on mashed potatoes unless my stepdad or I make them.   No one in both of our families know what they are doing with potatoes . . .  I just don't get it.   Ewww I also don't like turkey gravy.

Add me to the cranberry haters. DH's grandma makes this horrid cran jello with fruit like pineapple in it (blech!) and my aunt does too but with sour cream on top (wut?). I refuse.

Meat dressing sounds gag-worthy.

I don't really discriminate on Thanksgiving when it comes to the classic dishes but there is this broccoli salad that my Grandma makes every holiday.

It's okay...but a broccoli/nut/mayonnaise salad isn't what I want to fill my plate with on Thanksgiving. Everyone takes a tiny bit of it to not hurt her feelings though

Green bean casserole. Barf. Barf barf barf.

Any other vegetable casserole too actually but we've never had anything but the green bean kind.

Pumpkin cheesecake. Um...just make a pie. So much better.

Anything my stepmom makes. Serious, she thinks of random shit in her head and tries to create it. Disgusting. It broke my heart the year she made the green bean casserole. It normally is my favorite and I just couldn't touch it.

Anything else Thanksgiving related I am game for.

@nenecakies, H's grandma used to make this jello salad that involved canned cherries and black olives.

The first time I had it, I thought it was like oh, poor grandma is 90 and accidentally grabbed a can of olives when looking for the peaches. Nope. She did it on purpose.

Green bean casserole

Corn casserole

Turkey and gravy (I do not eat meat)

Sweet potato casserole with marshmallows on top

Corn is just about the only vegetable that might make an appearance that I don't like.

I am SO EXCITED FOR THANKSGIVING!!!!

Olives?? That's a new low, even for jello salad.

Agreed. I wish I could un-imagine how that must taste!

no gravy for me! not a fan.

I skip the mashed potatoes. I could have them any old time so I make room for the once-a-year favorites. We're not even making them this year.
For years my family served Waldorf salad. No thank you, ever.
Corn, peas, pecan pie - all staples with dh's family but not for me on Tday.

Turkey.  I eat meat, but there are so many other wonderful dishes that I can't get excited about turkey.  We get a high quality bird and DH brines and cooks it, and he does a great job, so I feel obligated to take a little bit.

Pumpkin pie --nasty!!!!

I don't care for gravy.  I like my mashed potatoes with salt and pepper, occasionally a pat of butter, and that is it.

I will say "sweet potatoes", but it depends on how they are prepared. 

I love baked sweet potatoes, sweet potato fries (with salt, not sugar), various sweet potato casseroles, etc. 

I hate the sweet potatoes everyone makes for the holidays with marshmallows on them. 

thepretzelchick

Sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, and turkey. So, basically all I eat is mashed potatoes, rolls, and dressing, plus pumpkin pie.

Correction.  I don't like sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, OR green bean casserole.

I will, however, easily eat five pounds of mashed potatoes by myself.  If the only thing served at my Thanksgiving meal was turkey, mashed potatoes, and apple crisp, that would be fine.

I love everything!
