Yes. That marshmallow-yam stuff is disgusting. Don't insult your guests like that.

Yes, make mashed potatoes.

And they are sweet potatoes, not yams.

This conversation makes me realize I am not a "real" American.

Don't tell the Feds, but we had Thanksgiving last year with ham instead of turkey….shhhhhhhhhhh

But we would never not have mashed potatoes and gravy! It's a SIN!


Turkey or no turkey is dictated by state law. Mashed taters are a federal matter.
FWIW, we never do turkey! We do a different meat but otherwise all the sides are straight-up traditional carb overload.

You have to have mashed potatoes. One year I went to someone house and they didn't have any. It was a disappointment and I still remember !!!
