Yes !! Add this to the apps.

Okay, I’ll do a separate smoked salmon board. Probably easiest and safest bet.

That sounds delicious.

Yumm. https://www.perrysplate.com/2021/12/holiday-smoked-salmon-board.html

I think your menu looks very nice, but wow, do I love the idea of a smoked salmon board!

I'm a vegetarian who eats an occasional piece of fish and I think your menu as it is sounds wonderful.

We don't need protein at every meal! You have plenty of food for everyone.

These are nasty. Ask them what fish they like.

You are not vegetarian if you eat fish. I’d be fine with it as a vegetarian if the sides were vegetarian or just a salad.

That's a nice idea. But there's always the person who just scarfs it down. What is it about smoked salmon and shrimp cocktail that makes people so greedy? I'm not a seafood eater at all so I don't get it.

turkey
veg dressing (aka stuffing)
green beans with almond
Mashed potatoes
Veg gravy
Cranberry sauce
Roasted squash over arugula

Apps are cheese and charcuterie.

Should we add something more protein/rich/filling for the pescatarians?

The only fish I can think that would go flavor-wise is salmon, which I don’t want to serve because we always serve that. I know how to make seabass, but that seems to require too much care for this type of meal. Also one guest is more limited in the seafood she eats. Any veg ideas with beans or lentils that would work with a traditional Thanksgiving menu?

Buy already cooked fish for the psectarians. But as you may have experienced too, non-psectarians always want to try what the psecs are enjoying so you may want to have some extras. Or bring lots of shrimp so anyone can try(??).

I'm so sick of all the dietary restrictions and whining. You know what thanksgiving is. If you show up, deal with it. Or bring your own food. I wouldn't go out of my way to cook another entire main dish. F off.

I like your style! DP

You are welcome simply not to host, you know. No one is holding a gun to your heads. I hope. If they are, please call the police.

Tell us who you voted for without telling us who you voted for.

NP. I voted for Harris and I agree with the PP. Thanksgiving is not the time to impose your dietary requirements unexpectedly on someone.

How ignorant you are or you simply don't have family.

You get tofurkey to say “F U” to your vegan family members? How lovely you must be.

I highly doubt anyone is imposing. Most of us with food allergies or dietary restrictions just eat before we arrive.

I guess we know “family and friends” isn’t something you’ll be giving thanks for tomorrow!!
