Oh yeah and of course cranberry dressing

We will be having turkey,ham, chitlings(for my mom and brother) stuffing,candied yams, macaroni and cheese, collard greens, string beans, potatoe salad, rolls, apple pie, peach pie and sweet potatoe pie. I cook this every year... Would love to have someone else do the cooking

Moist turkey with lots of crisp skin
Oyster stuffing
Mashed yukon gold potatoes
Roasted brussel sprouts
Parker house rolls

Apple pie
Cherry pie
Pecan pie
Pumpkin pie

Must include pecan pie and delicious mashed potatoes. I also love my culture's food: macaroni with meat and beshamel sauce (looks like lasagna) and stuffed grape leaves.

I can live without turkey.

For me, it's all the traditional stuff, and it's really about the stuffing, gravy, and taters. I put wild rice in my (homemade) stuffing, and insist on real mashed potatoes. I like the lumps.

We deep fry our turkeys every year. We also have a ham and chicken and dumplings and giblet gravy and dressing. Our sides are green beans, macaroni and cheese, and candied yams and rolls. Desserts are lemon pie, chocolate pie, red velvet cake, coconut cake, and 15 layer chocolate cake. This actually IS my dream Thanksgiving menu because my family does it so damn good.

We do a lot of the classics. Turkey, mashed potatoes, homemade gravy, green bean casserole, sweet potatoes, rolls...

Lots of pies for dessert. Apple and pumpkin, especially.

I would have Indian food, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie. I hate turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, etc.

I used to love the November Bon Appetit issues. I bought it every year. Then around 2008/2009 they did a redesign, weird pics of food sitting on the edge of a table, crime-scene lights, etc. Just unattractive.

No more features of certain families/friends and their get-togethers, just an odd, "cold" element. Really sad because their Thanksgiving issue was so great previously.

Does having Tom Colicchio cooking at my house count? That would be my ideal dream. (PS his brussel sprout recipe would be a great addition to your menu)

That said, I get excited for the Nov Food and Wine, Bon Appetit and Real Simple mags in November for recipe ideas. Check them out.

Less than 3 weeks! What would the menu consist of for your dream Thanksgiving?
