DD wants to mess with tradition

[Gary O']

Oh, you haven't had MY cranberry sauce, Gary. I think you'd like it.

One year one of my sisters got hold of some high-falutin' recipe for cranberry sauce that involved cream cheese

Well, I've yet to pass up anything with cream cheese in it

Yeah, but with horseradish? Not that I don't like horseradish, but I can't do it with cranberries.

Jezebel Sauce, now.......THAT goes with cream cheese just fine. MMmmmm. Horseradish in that.

I bumped up the recipe for brandied cranberries in the Recipes subhead for the Food and Drink thread.

Ooh, I'm heading right over there!

Uhh

I love those. Been making them since you posted the recipe!

The best Turkey is a wild Turkey and not a domestic Turkey. Much better taste. My dad was an excellent archery hunter, so we had a wild Turkey every rear for our Thanksgiving Day dinner.

(Not the Wild Turkey that comes out of a bottle.)

Not a Southern thing... I'm a Yank and feel the same way. Someone wants to add to the meal, great... knock yourself out and cook whatever dishes you want to add to our feast. But do not start suggesting I remove things from the menu that I've always looked forward to eating that day. There's always room on the table for additions.

That's the perfect solution for the OP!

I am more than happy to ditch all the 'traditional' holiday dishes, some more than others. Green bean casserole, I do like green beans without crunchy French-fried onion topping that's gone mushy.
I like turkey, but something different is welcome, like prime rib roast or rib-eye. Going with a Mexican spread works for me, tamales, some pozole, maybe just a bunch of tacos and of course my handmade salsa.

Turkey flavor is COMPLETELY gone so I have no problem ditching turkey.

My dad used to donate the turkey every Thanksgiving, but he used a shotgun and bird shot. It was pretty common for someone to bite down on lead shot. I don't miss that!

Problem solved. I'm scheduled off the day before Thanksgiving and working Thanksgiving Day so DD can make whatever the heck she wants to.

DS and his husband are coming over the day before and bringing the entire traditional dinner. I forgot to ask about the pumpkin pie. I made brandied cranberries a couple of weeks ago and would happily make the pumpkin pie.

DD hasn't spoken to DS in about 15 years so no problem there. DS/DSIL will have our dinner in The Hovel.
