[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanksgiving is all about tradition.  I would be happy to have you bring whatever made it a great meal for you.  My cousin has to have pumpkin pie.  No one else likes it.  She bakes it and brings it every year.  I don't consider it a slight to my apple pie.  [/quote]
Would you feel differently if she knows that you make an apple pie but chooses to bring a store-bought apple pie every year?  Do you see the difference in the insulting factor from OP and your cousin?[/quote]

Not with regard to cranberry sauce, no. There is a great divide and you either like the whole or the jelly, but rarely both.  In my family and group of friends, we have had (joking) "fights" about the correct response.  I love the jelly and there is no way I would eat the whole.  I just don't like it. It's not b/c of how it's made but what it is.

Also, if you're always looking to be offended or pissed, you're guaranteed to find it. Just accept sometimes people have different preferences.  If he/she is willing to bring it and take it home when they leave, so what?[/quote]
