Grayt Thanksgiving - Fantastic Feast

[Elaevia]

 

Pile your plates high, and fill those glasses it's time for a celebration! Have a favourite Thanksgiving, autumn or winter receipe you'd like to share? Or not even the full receipe - what do you like to eat and drink as the year draws to a close

[Dar'Jen Ab Owain]

Let us know how they are.

 

I am hoping to get a slice of pecan pie. It is my favorite.

 

And I'm hoping to make some mashed sweet potatoes.

Making a pumpkin pie again this year.  Love all the baking that happens during this season.  Wife and daughters just made chocolate chip banana bread.

 

I made baked salmon today with a brown sugar and dijon mustard sauce on it.

 

But for Thanksgiving day I love just loading up my plate with mashed potatoes, turkey, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, and gravy and mixing it all up on my plate and eating it up using a roll or two or three to scoop it all up and clean the plate with and then enjoying the sweet potato casserole and pies afterwards.  I make sandwiches with all the leftovers the same way, by putting a little bit of each dish on a couple of slices of bread.  Best leftover meal.

that sounds interesting - are they something that you eat like popcorn, or is it more like in a sugar syrup?

I have sweet potato fries quite a lot, but not in mashed form - going to have to change that soon!

Mashed sweet potatoes are good.

That was a tasty meal I am quite thankful for.

We don't celebrate Thanksgiving where I am from but just reading about all your tasty meals makes me so excited for Christmas season!

 

Potatoes and gravy are the food of the gods!

[Elaevia]

we always have a big pre-Christmas roast dinner  a few weeks before, just to get us nice and in the mood, and it's always prompted by Thanksgiving hehe

Now This is how Thanksgiving is done, my friend. Reading this makes me wish I could go back a few weeks and eat the food all over again ?

This year was the first year my family roasted a big turkey. It came out really well and the leftovers were amazing. There’s something about chunks of turkey atop white bread with mayo that’s just… so good!

 

By far my favorite part - always - is my wife’s pumpkin pie. I’ll sound like a homer but it’s the best I’ve ever had. She makes her own graham cracker crust and fresh whipped cream. Yum ?
