[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interested in people’s thoughts—What unusual thing must always be will be at your Thanksgiving table?

For me it’s a relish tray with black olives right out of can and celery stuffed (must be 1/2 of celery stalks with peanut butter and 1/2 with soft cheese).   The cheese can vary —- pimento, pub cheese or other.  My mom always did this for every Thanksgiving, Easter, and Christmas.   That made it a “special” thing.

A family friend had to have gravy topped with sliced hard boiled eggs.

What is yours?[/quote]

Olives/relish tray / stuffed celery is not that strange. I think all the moms / grandmas read about it in the same 50s magazine and it became fancy. [/quote]

“Relish trays” are one thing (hate that term), but I have never seen peanut butter or “stuffed” celery on one of them. Plain celery? Yes. A dip in the middle of the tray? Sure. But peanut butter celery is…not part of a relish tray.[/quote]

I'm sure if you haven't personally seen stuffed celery as a Thanksgiving appetizer (I also hate the term relish tray--we didn't call it that) then nobody eats it. At all.
