Favorite Thanksgiving Sides?

[Sinistron]

This could have gone on forever -- so I decided to stop at 36.  Sorry if your favorites aren't included.  Happy Bird Day.

I voted Sweet Potatoes, Mashed Potatoes, and stuffing. No thanksgiving sides are complete without those as far as I am concerned.

you eat some weird shit for Thanksgiving, sini. I mean, I like butternut squash, but that's not a typical thanksgiving thing. and what the hell is broccoli rabe?

Also, there are about a billion types of casserole, you can't just have "casserole" as an option! that's like having "pie" as an option!

my actual 3 favorite sides are "green salad" (contains no lettuce, I'll explain if anyone cares), green bean casserole, and broccoli cheese casserole.

broccoli rabe's an Italian thing- and it's nothing like regular broccoli.  Not easy to make- muss it up and you're left with something incredibly bitter.

Garlic smashed potatoes (a bit lumpy), Candied Yams, Breaded string beans (green bean bake).

Honorable mentions to butternut squash, cornbread, gravy.

Since when isn't squash "not typical"?

On Planet Guy everything's a touch strange.

My faves are cornbread, mashed potatoes, and stuffing. I'm f***ing stuffed too! lol. Happy Turkey Day dudes.

Agreed. Sautee'd with olive oil and garlic broccoli rabe is delectable. Cook it for 3 seconds too long and it's bitter as quinine.

I voted Stuffing (marble rye/wheat & spinach preferably - it sounds wierd, but its GREAT), Fried Okra, and Cornbread. 

Happy Bird Day!

My favorite non listed sides are rutabaga and green bean casserole

not that it matters as i usually cover the plate in mashed potatoes, throw everything on top that and cover in gravy. lol

Stuffing, cranberry sauce and cornbread.  Pretty basic, but good stuff.

Yeah, I just got back from a vaca to Italy and didn't realize that if you order something with broccoli, you get rabe.  I wasn't a fan and it was very salty.

Happy Thanksgiving, y'all.  Please pass the mashed taters, stuffing, and candied yams.... nom, nom, nom, nom.

[Sinistron]

Wow- cranberry compote has two votes.  It's perhaps the only thing I never find room on my plate for.  It's there every Thanksgiving- and I can't remember ever trying it- or wanting to. 

[Necromancer]

It's not my favorite, but me likey the cranberry compost (typo? maybe, maybe not); even better is the unnatural jellied cranberry sauce, which is best served whole to show off its fancy can shaped dents. 

[guyjin]

yeah, I always thought Cranberry anything was nasty.
