Same here.  When I was a teenager, I was only exposed to the ultra-rich sweet kind with all the marshmallows and stuff on them - and I didn't like them.  Then my first boyfriend introduced them to me the baked way and I've loved them that way ever since.

I didn't see beer or whiskey anywhere on the list.  Must be some kind of oversight.

Oh, God, the marshmallow. ...  :P  In my family, both sides of it, the cooks just used enough brown sugar and molasses to bring on a diabetic coma.

When I was in college, we always had a campus Thanksgiving Dinner about a week before Thanksgiving. The turkey was always served with baked sweet potatoes, sliced in half, as sort of a garnish around the edge of the platter. I'd just slap a little butter and salt on them, and thought they were very good eating that way.  :)

Must be. Alcohol is an antiseptic, after all.

The traditional Thanksgiving dinner is actually quite healthy (and delicious imo).  I wish it were served more often.  I absolutely love real cranberry relish. I like it with ground-up cranberries, some orange (again), and some agave nectar to cut the tartness.  YUM!!  Vitamins and antioxidants out the wazoo, too.
