What is the trashiest thing about your thanksgiving?

Canned cranberry sauce (store brand!) and reddi-whip for the pies.

This. I love it so much. We can’t have it other days because I am capable of eating an entire can myself.

-Ruffles with dip. This is the only day of the year we eat this. It is all we eat before Thanksgiving dinner.

-Orange salad made with cottage cheese, marshmallows, cool whips, orange jello mix. Again, only day in the year we eat this and it's weird but sooooo good

Love ruffles and dip! Hadn't thought about it in so long -- thanks OP!

My in laws are old school Jewish and serve Maneschewitz with Thanksgiving. Even the flavors. I am from the south and these are the wines (they are sweet and fruity) that the low end grocery store carries in bulk and was considered “trashy” growing up for me.

Me too. I like it served with the Utz creamy onion dip in a can. If we are feeling fancy, we scoop the dip out of the can and put it in a bowl.

Oh and canned mandarin oranges too for the orange salad

Is this a jello mold type consistency? I don't think I've had anything like this made w cottage cheese . Hey, you've included a protein!

It's basically this, though growing up I thought my family was the only one on earth who made it

We are vegetarian so we use marshmallows and jello powder that is gelatin-free.

It's a fluffy consistency.

Yeah, we’ve gotta have the can of cranberry sauce in addition to homemade. I can’t stand the furry mouth feel but kids love it.

What does old school Jewish mean?

DP here. The first Hanukkah I dated my Jewish DH I taught myself to make latkes and bought Maneschewitz. He was so appreciative of my thoughtfulness but later nicely told me Jewish people don't actually drink Maneschewitz! We still laugh about that 20 years later!
