Favorite Thanksgiving Food
Penthesilea:
I looked it up at wikipedia. It seems to be similar to the cranberry jelly we eat together with venison.
So I think it has a sweet and fruity taste, doesn't it?

Yes, it's just a sweetened and jelled condiment. Not very sweet. It has a tartness. It's a condiment, to be eaten with the turkey, but like most Thanksgiving day food, almost everything can be and is eaten together. Some people make their own cranberry sauce, but it's more like a chutney in consistency than a sauce.

I guess what Del's calling a chutney is what folks in Central Pennsylvania would call a "cranberry relish." Around here it usually consists of ground cranberries and apples, with a little orange thrown into the mix, and sometimes walnuts. I think some recipes also call for using Jello, but I don't think my mother or my grandmother ever included Jello when they made their own cranberry relish.
Much to be preferred to the jellied stuff that comes out of a can. :P ;D

Thank you both Del and Jeff :-*
Yup, my accosiation was right. I think I'd love cranberry sauce (or relish or chutney).

I voted for mashed potatoes. I've been the mashed potato maker in my family since I was like 13. My mom always made really good ones, then she taught me. Tell you what, mine might be better than hers! :P
I also really love turkey, but I couldn't vote for two things. And here's what will make ya'll think I'm crazy - I don't like gravy!
Goodness, I can't wait for Thanksgiving. I haven't had a day off from school since Labor Day, and I haven't been home since September either! One more week...
