[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I still want to know what indigenous people’s food is. [/quote]

I’m not doing anything crazy. Still having turkey, but cooking it on the grill with chiles. Mashed squash instead of potatoes. Stuffing made from homemade cornbread. I was going to do authentic indigenous food- the area we live in has Navajo, Apache, and Pueblo populations- but toned it down for my ILs. I’m not a fan of thanksgiving in general because of what it represents and thought this was a nice compromise.

Next year the plan is to make good using only native foods I’ve grown, foraged, or hunted myself :) [/quote]

The year I decided to make Beef Wellington and serve plum pudding for dessert (had never tried either and wanted to), I also heated up ham and served chocolate cake for the less adventurous.

In your situation, I would probably have had regular mashed potatoes, stuffing and a roasted turkey breast for your in-laws.  That way they could try the indigenous food but still have their old and familiar, tried and true traditional favorites on the table.

But that's me.[/quote]
