6 year old will probably eat everything. The 40 year old will eat maybe 50-75% of the things.

They’ll eat rolls, maybe mashed potatoes, maybe green beans, and cranberry slices from a can. And pumpkin pie. I always think to myself how silly they’ll feel after they finally have delicious stuffing for the first time after refusing it for so long.

My kids aren't generally picky eaters, but they are capricious. I'm guessing they'll for sure eat the green olives, rolls, and ice cream. Beyond that, who knows - it could be everything, it could be nothing else.

Both will try (3 bites or so) literally everything. They will have a small potions of everything. The only thing my oldest does t like is homemade Mac and cheese, but she will be polite enough to eat a few bites because grandma made it.

There’s not a single food my kids won’t eat at least a few bites of to try it.

A roll. Maybe we can convince him to try stuffing. If grandma makes Mac and cheese then that’s a safe bet.

My kid is now a teen, loves Thanksgiving (still not stuffing), but had to laugh as this would have been my answer in the early years.

A roll. Maybe grandma's homemade sweet and cinnamony apple sauce. 2-3 bites of turkey as a bonus.

My 14 year old still looks forward to the rolls more than anything. We added Mac and cheese to the menu just so there’s be something she liked. My other kid lives it all.

Crackers and cashews from the appetizer table. Rolls. Maybe a few bites of dark meat Turkey. No potatoes. Pumpkin pie.

My 3 yr old *might* eat a roll. Maybe pick an apple out of the salad. If he eats anything else I will be in awe.

Mac and cheese

Home made applesauce

Frozen peas (not previously frozen peas. Peas that are currently still frozen)

Sweet potato fries (which will be made with them in mind)

Vanilla ice cream


Not that different than a usual weeknight meal, except that the apple sauce on a random Tuesday would come from a jar.

The visual was great because my mind first went to a bowl of hot steaming peas made from frozen peas. To a rock solid little pes.

The other might eat turkey and a roll. Which is why I always bring mac and cheese because I know he will eat that.

My two are almost exactly the same. My older daughter will eat everything while my younger daughter will maybe have green beans and mashed potatoes.

a roll.

Love putting in 8 hours of cooking for my kids to eat green beans and canned cranberry that great aunt Martha brings.
