Canned bread crumbs in the stuffing is not a lot different than a box of Stove Top..

We're not even cooking a turkey. Chicken and Dumplings.. I'll grill some turkey breast tenderloins and a couple of drumsticks for protocol but the turkey
won't get eaten until Friday. Turkey sammiches Friday FTW..

@ TBS: Ha my ancestors weren't here but the word around here is the whole Thanksgiving deal is pretty much New England's idea, and Ocean Spray is from here, so there you have it.

My kids (38 and 36) refuse to eat any cranberry sauce that doesn't have the ridges from the can.
We've made cranberry sauce from scratch but with all the other stuff canned sauce--but not the jelly--is our time saver. One year my wife had hepatitis from oysters we ate in NOLA and I did the whole thing myself--apple and pumpkin pie, mashed potatoes, her stuffing, green beans, turkey and gravy. She was too sick to cook but definitely not too sick to eat.

Here's the older kid (head of the table) with their friendsgiving this year. Note the boxes in the foreground.

You bias towards Big Cranberry belittles your opinions on the matter.

Saw a huge 4' box of football sized pomegranates in the store today. WTF are people actually using those for? How tedious.

The first record of a Thanksgiving feast in North America was at Berkeley Hundred in Virginia in 1619, not at Plymouth.

And I don’t think it’s a stretch to bet that Lief Ericsson and his crew had a party after their harvests at L’anse aux Meadows.

The Pilgrims just had better journalists and PR hacks.

Next you'll tell me brown bread doesn't come in a can. Or baked beans for the love of god.

I fucking LOVE brown bread in a can! Especially with raisins, slather in butter for best results.

There are acres of them at the Sacramento Farmers Market. I've had the same thought.

We had Thanksgiving a few years ago at our son's MIL. She's descended from Mayflower people although the family bible only goes back to the 18th century. First course was five kernels of dry corn, to remind us that not everyone has enough to eat. Then way too much food.

Kenji is doing a thanksgiving series and his cranberry sauce one just dropped.

Couple that with Persian lamb stew! That crust on the rice is the real deal. And some chicken kabobs, of course.

I love Persian food. Unfortunately, my two favorite Persian restaurants, Piccolo in Sunnyvale and Alborz in Austin, have both closed, and I have yet to find a decent replacement. But that reminds me, it’s time to search again.

Oddly. Wisconsin leads the nation in cranberry production.

Perhaps you are living in the wrong state.

PS. Yes. Cranberry jelly is an abomination.
So is pumpkin pie. There. I said it. It’s my opinion so go full on American apple pie and fuck that thing because I wouldn’t eat either before or after you fucked it.

I'm with you on the pie. I'll eat it, but it better have a lot of whipped cream on top. I'd take just about any other pie over pumpkin.
