    Some people just can't appreciate the finer things in life. It's a dessert, and a side at the same time.

    Used to work with a guy who would smoke rutabagas stuffed with turkey trimmings (neck and wing meat mostly) and they were straight fire.

    This is what ruined me for so much of my life. Boomers making casseroles out of canned slop. Obviously the opposite of your point but I have PTSD from it

    This is tough but probably cornbread since it seems redundant with stuffing and rolls.

    Potato salad is for summer picnics for fucks sake.

    Where is the gravy supposed to go?

    Tough call between potato salad and penis soup, but I’m going to get rid of the potato salad.

    My biggest mind fuck "how can this be good" but it's good is pineapple casserole. My body tries to reject eating it up until it's in my mouth

    I make wes tegg dressing every year but double the sausage and don't use crawfish because we have some picky eaters. Red and yellow peppers instead of green.

    Just gets wiped out. Elite. About to make it shortly.

    Pineapple is so weird. It is incredibly versatile even though it seems like a one in a million based on looking like it does.

    This has like cheese and I guess some kind of bread crumbs. My mind is like "oh no wtf are you doing" then you eat a bite and it's "oh this good.". Then repeat the same process for every subsequent bite

    I assume this is a similar mindset to eating pear salad but I can't bring myself to eat it

    So I’ve never heard of oyster dressing either but i was intrigued by it and went out and purchased 24 fresh oysters. Did I fuck up by not getting the canned/tub kind? How can I go about making oyster liquor? also, I have the oysters on ice, should I go ahead and dice up and refrigerate or leave on ice until tomorrow?

    I’m following Lucy buffet’s oyster dressing recipe unless there’s a better one out there?

    Thanksgiving dinner turns on the quality of the cornbread stuffing. Extra eggs is key

    I’ve never done it without the tub. I’m sure if you use enough butter and/or thicken a broth you’ll be fine.

    Recipe calls for apples in place of bread. I am sure I won’t be able to tell the difference once I slather it in giblet gravy thickened with arrowroot. FML…

    Ima dip sprouted grain bread in water and form them into little balls and then blast them with the broiler. I have thought of everything and have it all covered!

    Mother in law just called to say she accidentally ordered too many pre made sides from central market so we don’t need to make the green bean casserole.

    Concerning.

    I got this on a cutting board for my dad the year after my grandmother passed away.

    I had to refine the recipe a bit because it called for about 3x as much butter, but it's still bomb

    it was fucking absurd

    But, IIRC, the cutting board is a 1/2 recipe. So the full recipe was 10-12
