Why do you have to choose? Stove Top + mashed potatoes is the entire point of Thanksgiving dinner IMO.


You don't actually have to choose, but "Serve Stove Top instead of potatoes" is from an ad campaign (from the 70s, I think?)


I really am old if some of y'all don't get the reference.
But this quoted poster doesn't really like mashed potatoes unless it is mixed with gravy to make a gravy soup that i can eat with a spoon. Sometimes I add warmed frozen peas. That's day after Thanksgiving food that shouldn't be sneered at.

Cranberry sauce from a can. It's really the only kind I like.

Heinz baked beans.

I saw a TV show last night where they were making egg and chips for dinner and man, I want to go and get a bag of oven fries and just eat egg and chips. Maybe with a chip butty on the side.

Also saltines with pb and j with soup or paired with chili.


I second all the ruffles with onion dip. By Lipton you mean the soup pouch plus sour cream? So good


Pp here. Yes to the soup pouch plus sour cream. If it hadn't been so gross out tonight I would have gone out to get ruffles and the sour cream--I keep the lipton soup mix in my pantry! This thread has made me crave them!

Same. There is something about the saltiness of canned green beans. I made a delicious bean salad that has also types of canned beans. So good. So much sodium. But so good.

I also love that snack made with saltines, butter, and chocolate all melted together in the oven. My friend calls is "trashy toffee" but I know there is another name for it (in jest, she makes it for several different get togethers a year).



We call it Christmas Crack in my house, and yeah, it is awesomely good.
I have a friend who makes the little thing with a small pretzel, melted Rollo, and pecan on top that are divine. She gives them with her gift most christmases, and the years she doesn’t give them, the whole holiday season is less merry and bright.


It's the most popular passover dessert...sub the saltines for matzah

Lipton onion soup dip is a staple in our house. I make it for pretty much every gathering and it gets eaten right up. But it has to be served with Cape Cod chips or similar kettle chips.

Pigs in a blanket. I don't care how low class or trashy some may see these but people from kids to grandparents seem to love them and I don't think I've ever seen any left over. I'm not making them this year and I'm having second thoughts.


I make the ones with crescent rolls and cocktail weenies, but my favorite kinds are with biscuits and vienna sausage links


Sorry to yuck your yum, but you are the only person I’ve ever heard of who genuinely likes Vienna sausages. Do you put mustard or something else on these — or just eat them straight?


DP. I love them. I fry them up in a pan. My grandmother made them for me when I was little; I wanted them all the time because I thought they were cute because they were so small. I eat them straight.
