Agree 100%. Almost all of traditional American Thanksgiving fare is meh anyway.

All the ways to prepare turkey to make it better are just an equation that approaches, but never reaches, the quality of an average rotisserie chicken from the grocery store.

Stuffing is just cornbread that's gone wrong and was likely finished off in the bird's asshole.

Canned cranberry sauce is okay. Any attempts to go beyond that are actively making things worse.

Anything involving giblets is nasty.

Texas has done so very, very many things wrong over the years, but allowing tamales to be an acceptable thanksgiving dish is not one of them.

Giblet gravy slaps you take that back

NEVER! LOL. Slimy brown oilwater with random dinosaur organs does not slap!

White gravy is vastly superior, and even better is "grayish gravy" that follows the same recipe but is made from month-old bacon grease in a refrigerated crisco can.

Occasions like Thanksgiving are actually when I eat less healthily.

Ha, hardly. Going to a family event tomorrow. I’m making 4 things from scratch, my sisters are making at least 2 things each and the extended family, ordered sides from trader joes.

What is this all about, really, when people just half ass it?!?

No it's about "you will be whole assing it for a few days but you'll be half assing it again in no time."
