[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We definitely go the conventional route though reading some of these menus makes me wonder what we're doing.  Korean Thanksgiving menu sounds AMAZING.

What we typically have other than turkey:

[b]green bean casserole
yam and marshmellows
corn pudding
creamed onions[/b]
chopped salad
mashed potatoes
home made stuffing 
cranberry sauce

Dessert: apple pie and pumpkin pie[/quote]

these are foods that many people who aren't American by birth find a little hard to like myself included.  I posted earlier-I am northern european and the first time I went to my husband's house for TG I almost threw up when I saw the onions, and I cannot even look at marshmellows....on the other hand.  When my husband came to my grandmothers house he almost died. Since turkey wasn't popular we usually had a goose or duck and a beef tenderloin.  Sides included chopped liver, Shuba salad-a Russian salad with herring, eggs and lots of other crap, caviar, russian potatoe salad, knishes-cabbage and meat, matzah ball soup and/or borsht, THE worst for him was a jellied fat dish-not sure what it is in english but there is meat and egg suspended in the chicken fat-maybe someone can help me out with the name of it..and TONS of other food that just kept on coming...the look on his face was priceless...although he did enjoy dessert quite a bit-we never had pie-chocolate cake of some sort, a cheesecake or two,  chocolate candy, fruit, eclairs...its all relative[/quote]
