Favorite Thanksgiving Food
Lynne:
I had to vote for stuffing :) It's my favorite and something I only go to the trouble to make on rare occasions, so it makes things special. And there's a hundred ways to do it and everybody claims their way is the 'best' which is fun!
I remember one of Price and my first Thanksgivings in Boston, we had to have two types - his breadcrumb/oyster stuffing Connecticut style and my cornbread/sage Southern style. Well, all would have been well, EXCEPT for the detail that self-rising cornmeal was not readily available in Boston and how was I s'posed to know that I needed to add baking powder and soda?? A total bust, but a fun memory! 8) ::) 8)

Dressing, but only if it's the good kind - from inside the turkey.
I prefer cornbread to white bread dressing. I suppose I've never eaten white bread dressing that was any good, so I'm biased.
But you can't have cornbread dressing/mashed potatoes without decent giblet gravy doused on top!!
ednbarby:
Oh, yeah. I do the giblet gravy, too. Grosses Ed out if he has to look at them boiling beforehand, so I try to leave things somewhat mysterious. Used to be he'd come in the kitchen and be like "What are you *doing*?" He's since learned to just stay clear. ::)
I make a white bread stuffing with Italian bread. I put *so* much butter, onions and celery in it, though, along with the chicken broth, that no one ever complains that it didn't come out of the turkey. If it's borderline soggy when you put it in the oven and you cover it, it never gets too dry. And I roast my turkey in one of those oven roasting bags. Lazy, I know, but the turkey never dries out even if you over-cook it just a tad and clean up's a snap!
Jeff Wrangler:
It's all about the stuffing. Baked in the bird--and Salmonella threat be damned.
Mother always used Italian bread, or some other thickly sliced white bread, though I've learned to like cornbread stuffing, too. Chestnut stuffing is good, too.
And you gotta have gravy on that stuffing. Stuffing without gravy just ain't right. >:( ;D
Meryl:
Stuffing, of course! Moist and savory, with gravy. That's what makes it Thanksgiving. :)
