[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love Thanksgiving and all the food. It’s definitely a lot of work if you are not doing it potluck, but it’s so satisfying to see everyone eating and celebrating.  There’s something so magical about a feast. This year we did both a whole 18 lb turkey in the regular oven and a breast in our combi-steam oven. The latter was so incredibly easy as you can put a probe in your meat and have your phone alert you when it’s up yo temperature.

[b]I’m mystified by people who don’t like turkey, unless they’ve never had a properly cooked one? You don’t like the crispy bits? The juicy, (herb-butter flavored in our case) breast?  You don’t like mashed potatoes and pan dripping gravy? Or cranberry sauces? As surprising as I find this, I certainly think people should make non-traditional foods if they don’t like the typical ones.  It’s the gathering that’s important. [/b][/quote]

I don't hate it, but I don't particularly look forward to it and would rather be eating prime rib, or a rack of lamb, or seafood....etc. I roast a chicken weekly and don't find turkey to be meaningfully different. I do hate cranberry sauces, sweet potatoes, stuffing a lot of the other traditional sides are just ok. I prefer the years (we often travel over Thanksgiving) when we go out to eat and can order what we like, though I do enjoy cooking  so will go the traditional route to please others. [/quote]
