Loved that show!

That looks so good. Do you have a recipe for it?

@Lilac , my mom slaved over peeling all those tiny onions! I buy them frozen.

They are blanched to help the skins slide off more easily, then peeled. They are then baked or simmered in bechamel sauce. (white sauce

here is the recipe pictured-

We didn't use sage in the sauce.

This is so much easier-

Sometimes I buy Aunt Nellie's onions.

Good idea, just add them to your own white sauce. Think you can buy just the onions frozen without the cream sauce, too

I make my own cranberry relish with dried cranberries. Put a cup of dried cranberries in a microwave safe bowl. Add a cup of orange juice and nuke until the cranberries are soft.

Not as pretty as tiny pearl onions but regular yellow onions make a nice creamed onion casserole.

Printed Bourdain's recipe out - thanks.

I make them usually w no recipe......i think I add brandy or cognac too. I pick out the smaller onions out of the white boilers which can be too big, imo, and the pearls very expensive.

I'd be remiss if I didn't mention my father "we used to sell [truck] loads of them" meaning white boilers and the same went for waxed turnips during the holidays. Every truck carried 40,000lbs +.

Does anyone bring the whole roasted turkey to the table and then carve it there?

I didn’t grow up in that family.

One year I made 2 and presented 1 whole roasted turkey at the table while I had cut up and plated the 2nd beforehand. Took the whole bird out to the kitchen and taaaaaadaaahhhhhh had the other plated turkey on the table in just a few seconds.

When I cut up a cooked turkey I deconstruct it and then cut the breast across the grain, just the opposite of slicing breast meat off the whole bird.
