I don't shy away from many foods but green bean casserole is to me what kryptonite is to Superman......I've tried it many times and I just don't like it.

Most probably know what I'm referring to but to those who don't it's basically that dish that is green beans and a can of cream of something soup mixed together and then topped with canned french fried onions and baked.
 

Honestly, if I had my druthers, I'd pass on the turkey. Better cold, on sandwiches later, with lots of Miracle Whip. ;)
 

I'm not a big fan of any of the sweet potato casseroles, who knows what lurks beneath those golden brown marshmallows.

I'll take my sweet potatoes baked and unadorned, just a little S&P and a cold chunk of butter.

I often make them with a little brown sugar, a little maple syrup and toasted pecans. If I have time, Cinnamon sugared pecans are even better. Not too many, just enough to add a little flavor.

I agree with Ike on the green bean casserole. That's a terrible thing to do to a green bean. :D

Ditto that and a few years back, it was the dish I was assigned to bring over to a Thanksgiving dinner I was attending with a group of friends. I made, the guest enjoyed it, that is everyone enjoyed it except myself, I did give it a taste, but, no thanks in the future.

I don't care for sweet potato casserole either and as Nancy said I would pass on the turkey also. I much prefer chicken instead.
 
There aren't many foods I dislike but mincemeat pie is way too sweet and has a strange flavor in my opinion. But maybe I didn't give it a fair chance. Never ate more than a couple of bites.
 
What is that other dish called that's usually seen around this time of year that contains Jell-O, cottage cheese and I believe pineapple ?......that's another no, no for me.

Then there's that baby marshmallow, whip cream, Jell-O and something else thingie.....I don't like it either.

I don't like canned or candied baked sweet potatoes with marshmallows either......mama likes canned sweet potatoes with her Thanksgiving dinner but she knows I won't touch them.

I had a aunt by marriage that always fixed and baked her sweetish corn pudding for Thanksgiving and I always passed on that.

I know it's beginning to sound like I'm a finicky eater but really I'm not, it's just that a lot of what some would call traditional holiday foods I'm just not overly fond of.

Lord only knows I love my after dinner sweets, even if it's just a few plain ole vanilla wafers, but I don't like a sweet dish with my main meal.

I hear you loud and clear, not a big fan of sweet and savory myself.
 
I'm not so much on yams and sweet potatoes, never tasted a green bean casserole. This year it's just the wife and I so I think it's just going to be the three food groups. Turkey, spuds, dressing.. :very_drunk:

Ike, I couldn't agree more with you!
 
I guess I'm a statistical outlier but I like green bean casserole.

Can't do oyster dressing, though.
 
Everything mentioned here (excepting for the oysters) I would eat if I were able. Love turkey and stuffing and all the other things--yams are sweet enough without the added things, I generally just bake them. I'm not really all that fussy, but red beets are not a fav of mine but mostly all veggies, I've always liked.
