Thanksgiving Nays

[Kefira]

Skip the nauseating substitutions and just make something good instead of fooling yourself with a soy turkey!

Oh my goodness, a million times this! Like how every time I go to a grill out people want to feed me tofudogs. Who would eat those??? Just grill some veggies and call it a day.

Lol... Don't forget the delicious amazingness of things made from flora! Grilled polenta wedges with Harissa, Stuffed mushrooms, jalapeño poppers, bread with za'atar, pakoras, and samosas, and paninis, and crash hot potatoes, puff pastry wrapped "so much stuff", watermelon Gaspacho.... Zillions of "I want that". lol And that's just the tip of the vegan list. Add in eggs/dairy/etc? Foh'ged'aboh'dit.

Wait, wait! Yucky food. We're supposed to be thinking about yucky food.

... Thinking.
... Thinking.

For the record I do tend toward the chubby side. I have to work out. A lot.

I'm a vegetarian and I don't get the tofurkey loaf thing, either. I usually do the "turkey" deli slices with gravy. That's pretty good.

My nay: candied yams with shredded coconut sprinkled on top. Yuck! Ruins the whole dish.

We can make this about yays too, @FridayJones. For the record, while not vegetarian, I eat veg a lot, not really as a conscious choice other than it is cheap, abundant, and delicious. I travel for work, and groceries are astronomical where I nurse. So I take lots of food with me. But food equals weight equals extra costs flight wise. Dried beans and peas are cheaper to carry than meat, and will last me throughout the long contracts I do. I take some meat of course, I am not willing to give that up, but I am much more likely to nosh on a delicious hummus on Ryvita pumpkin seed cracker for lunch than I am on turkey.

RAISIN PIE!! Now who is the heathen that dreamed up that dessert abomination of dead flies covered in the sickeningly sweet stuff that they love...??? And to contaminate the Holy Grail of Canadian Desserts - the Butter Tart - with those miserable representations of dying fruit is anathema!

A yucky one!!! (Thanks for the raisin reminder. And here I like raisins when they haven't been adulterated by...)

Cream Cheese Jell-O casserole with raisins, dates, and pineapple.

lol - Maybe I'm just contrary, today. Yucky food = Visions of sugar plums, we can do good food, and the zombie brained jello casserole springs to mind ;)

OMG, @FridayJones , you win, hands down. For the Most Hideous Dish. Ever!!!

Yams disgust me so very much. Also cranberry sauce. We have adjusted our menu to more tasty foods like twice baked potaoes.

I actually like Brussels sprouts and okra. I can't really think of a food that I truly hate, but the people in my family are great cooks

 

[Britt.f7]

I cooked okra once and it turned out like snot. I probably ruined something that would have been a good dish for me.

Hate the green bean casserole and the cranberry gel and tofu.

I love yams.
