Happy Thanksgiving everyone from Me & Millie

If it’s cooked in the bird, it’s stuffing, if it’s cooked separately, it’s dressing.

Pecans grow throughout the Southeast and into Texas. Pecan is the state tree of Texas. So with them being so abundant, many recipes have been developed. I had a Pecan tree in my backyard as a kid.

I think the reason Americans are more adventurous in food choices is our background as an immigrant nation. We get exposed to more things from an early age, and the meeting of cultures lends itself to various "fusion" recipes.

Baked beans are a common BBQ side in the US. The sauce is just different from the UK version.

Any US home during thanksgiving is full of food. Whatever you may not like, there will be 4 other options on that single thing. Every house if filled with delicious options. Most start cooking the day before

Baked beans in the US are generally Navy Beans that are slow cooked in a smoky, sweet sauce, often with a bit of streaky smoked bacon. The sauce they're cooked in often includes a bit of molasses, brown sugar, vinegar, yellow mustard, and various spices. They're a staple at summertime BBQs across the US. Could you stick 'em on toast? Sure... but they're pretty yummy on their own or accompanied by a few BBQ'ed ribs and some home made potato salad.

Pecans are delicious, that's why we eat them. :P Also, pecans are native to North America and trees produce quite a lot of them.

You guys have to remember that our country is MASSIVE, and within many states there are culturally diverse regions. There is no such thing as EVERY American or ALL American like or eat this or that. Remember, Texas is bigger than Poland 🇵🇱. There are a great variety of things we eat in various places in our country.

Pecan trees are native to the south so we eat and use them alot in cooking.

I can't argue with the fact that stuffing/ dressing is the best part of every Thanksgiving (along with the gravy).

We ABSOLUTELY have baked beans. But they're served as a side usually with hotdogs or burgers. Or mixed with cut up hotdogs making beanie weanies.

I have 2 quick reminders about Thanksgiving to share: 1) Half of the 102 Pilgrims died within 1 year of landing at Massachusetts because they weren't prepared to land that far north (they wanted to land closer to Jamestown, Virginia), and 2) The Native American tribe the Pilgrims celebrated Thanksgiving with showed them how to live off the land in exchange for providing them protection/weapons to fight a neighboring tribe, and yet those are aspects of Thanksgiving we often ignore in school.

It's stuffing if it's cooked in the bird. It's dressing if it's cooked in a separate pan. They both have the same ingredients but the difference is how they're cooked. Happy Turkey Day to y'all!!

Thanksgiving Day has been my favorite holiday since I was a child. It's not about presents and such. It's a day to spend with friends, family and God, thanking Him for all our blessings. I just love it.

Yes, we over here in the US most definitely have baked beans. They are a very popular side dish.

I'm from New Jersey, and Thanksgiving dinner and dessert has always been: turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, stuffing, corn, dinner rolls, green bean casserole, macaroni and cheese, sweet potato casserole, pumpkin pie, and apple pie. Sometimes other things were added, usually different types of salads.

We eat tons of pecans because we have tons of pecan trees. Plus they're one of the BEST nuts on Earth.

I'm surprised that you're surprised that pecans are popular. They are so yummy; sweeter than walnuts. They are native to southern U.S. So, they are easy to grow, in the south. People have them in their backyards.

This guys hasn't spent much time in the south. 1) I have never been to a thanksgiving dinner in my half century experience that did NOT include cranberry sauce. Now I will say not everyone makes it fresh here, many get it canned, we usually get cranberries and make our own. It is also considered a MUST for after thanksgiving, as the thanksgiving sandwiches are pretty much expected following thanksgiving and usually includes left over turkey, mayo, left over cranberry sauce and toasted bread. 2) Also wrong about Squash in the south. Squash Butternut, or yellow is very much a part of southern Thanksgiving.

For me, as long as there are mashed potatoes, gravy, Hawaiian buns, deviled eggs, ham, and turkey, I'm happy. At the same time, some crusted mac and cheese never hurts.

Happy Turkey Day to fellow Americans. Just finishing and we had 23 different dishes and 47 ppl, tons of leftovers. In the video he's giving a dish, but we typically have a lot of side dishes, desserts and different meats...but Turkey is the star. We had 3 types baked, fried and grilled. Its just a good time and tons of good food. Christmas 🎄 is around the corner and we do it all over with Turkey and Ham.

It's sweet potato(and it's sooo good), baked and skinned,mashed with butter.Add dark brown sugar and cinnamon.Put into a baking dish and heated,add marshmallows and broil until marshmallows are toasted and they are ready to go.Also sweet potato pie is fantastic.Oh,and I am from the South East(Tennessee mountains)

It doesn't matter what we eat on Thanksgiving.Thanksgiving is time to reflect on the past year. Being able to spend a day with those we love or care about. It could be family or friends... Remembering those who are no longer with us. Just being grateful for what and who you have in your life.

Pecan pie with vanilla ice cream and football.

Where I was growing up in the South, we had pecans trees everywhere, we had them in our yards. And you didn't have to drive far to find them, or you knew somebody who them. We almost never had to pay for them, you could pickup as many as you find on the ground.

Pecans grow on trees and one tree can produce a LOT of them, which also makes them relatively inexpensive. They are nutritious and taste good. That is why that are added to so many dishes.

"As long as I can be selective." That's literally how Thanksgiving works. You ask someone to pass the ______ (something you like), and then scoop what you need onto your plate. Also, baked beans are huge here in the Northeast. Look up Boston Baked Beans, one of Massachusetts finest staples.

Pecans are popular because it is indigenous to Georgia and other parts of the South. It has many uses both sweet and savory. Pecans are not cheap, and depending on weather conditions in the South, the prices fluctuate. Just as certain types of food are natural produce in the UK. Marshmallows on sweet potatoes is a personal thing. Marshmallow is about the same as a meringue is on certain desserts. It is an optional topping.

A lot of regional food is the result of survival and using what's available. Hence, pecans and greens in the South. A lot soul food is based on slaves making what little they were given, such off cuts of meats, and doing what they could to make them edible and delicious. Or a fusion of ethnic or local foods, like he said, with California. My mom was Japanese so we had some Japanese side dishes. My friends are filipino so they'd have filipino side dishes and sometimes as the main dish. And more currently here in San Francisco, we try to have somewhat healthier dishes using fresh, sustainable ingredients. Anyways, I found it interesting that you learned about Thanksgiving in school. And I hope you try making macaroni and cheese. Just don't use the boxed version. It's pretty easy to make from scratch and well worth the time and effort. Regardless, I'm thankful for you two and this channel and that you covered one of our most beloved holidays! (sorry about the long comment!)

A lot of the foods that are popular are foods that are grown here and in the past was eaten to survive. Pecans are popular because pecan trees grow wild and a lot of people also have them planted in their yards. The pecans are harvested just before thanksgiving.

I think pretty much everyone eats cranberry sauce or cranberries of some sort for Thanksgiving. And here in the south everyone I know calls it dressing, not stuffing. The difference being how it's cooked, inside the bird = stuffing, separate dish = dressing. Our meal consists of Turkey, Cornbread Dressing, Cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes and gravy, sweet potato casserole with marshmallows, green bean casserole, deviled eggs, pea salad, fruit salad, and dinner rolls. Normally we would have a lot more but we did it smaller this year! Our dessert is peanut butter pie and banana pudding, and Ritz cookies. These are all non traditional but we are allergic to cinnamon so things like pumpkin pie are not an option.

yeah Thanksgiving is a HUGE holiday here in the States...almost everyp;ace is closed. No postal service or even banks open even though its a Thursday.

Heinz products are from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania they are an American company. Heinz put a plant in the UK so they wouldn't have to ship them to the UK and beyond.

The first sweet potato casserole has pecans and brown sugar, the second one has marshmallows. They really taste sweet and good together. I’m a midwesterner, but I’m more southern/ central and those recipes don’t fit stuff served down here… my favorites are green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, pumpkin pie, and maple fudge.

I’ve found that Thanksgiving food differs from family to family even within the same city! Some of these were pretty surprising for me though. I’m from the Great Lakes region, and typically have corn casserole, sweet potato casserole (with pecan topping…no marshmallows), mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing, & homemade cranberry sauce. Desserts for us are ALWAYS pumpkin pie and apple pie

Pecans are awesome, as are walnuts! Pecans have a little bitterness that is smoothed out by the nuttiness, and when you add sweet and salty with them...heaven. Walnuts are just simply decadent.

You should definitely make a Thanksgiving dinner. Use the most popular recipes or Martha Stewart's for a fancier version. I think you'd love Turkey, Stuffing, Mashed Potatoes and Green Bean Casserole with Turkey Gravy and Cranberry Sauce.

This year in Florida we had Turkey, Dressing, Sweet Potatoes casserole with Marsh mellows, Homemade Cranberry Sauce. Homemade Mac n Cheese. 3 Bean Salad. Mashed potatoes. Dinner Rolls, Sveral cheese ball and French onion dip, Pecan Pie, Apple Pie, Pumpkin Pie, Peach cobbler, Vanilla Bean Ice Cream and caramel Apple Sangria as well as the White and Red wines. Love this time of year. Now we have leftovers for a week. Life is good!

Love pecans , especially candied but fresh off the tree are great too. My great grandmother had pecan trees and we would go fill bags up when we were there and sit and eat them while we were cracking them for whatever dish our parents were going to use them in.

Cranberry sauce is a staple in the south, too.

Turkey spaghetti? I haven't seen it here in Texas but I imagine its origins are from having thanks giving left overs and needing to find some use for them.

In the Southeast it's DRESSING. Cornbread dressing. I'd literally never even seen stuffing until I spent Thanksgiving with my mom and stepdad in Vermont once when I was 17. My mother is from Alabama and she made stuffing to placate my stepdad, but made dressing with a separate turkey for the rest of us because she wasn't down with that "dry nonsense." My stepdad tried dressing that year and never went back. They're different dishes.

my favorite Thanksgiving food is mixing smashed potatoes with sweet corn. Both are good on their own. But together, they're amazing!!!

The two of you are such a joy to watch. Happy Thanksgiving

If your from the south (which I am) there’s 2-4 ways people say pecans.

I live in Arizona, and I am of Mexican decent. My family doesn't usually do tamales for Thanksgiving, but would do them for Christmas. They are labor intensive, and it is literally an assembly line to make them. But, if you have a bunch of people to help you, "more hands make light the work." My top favorite parts of the Thanksgiving dinner is the turkey (my family smokes it in a smoker), my mom's heirloom dressing (passed down from generation to generation), and homemade mashed potatoes with gravy.

I'm from California and we definitely have Butternut Squash for Thanksgiving, as well as cranberry sauce and stuffing (mandatory). BTW, he got it backwards. It's called stuffing in the West and dressing in the East. I either have white bread stuffing or French bread (sourdough) stuffing. Either way, it has sage in it. And smoked Salmon dip... YUM!!! Also I eat tamales almost every day. I can't believe he left out the #1 most common Thanksgiving side dish ever... pumpkin pie! Duh! LOL! Love you guys! Love watching you for how kind and well-mannered you are.

Watching this while I make my Green Bean Casserole! Happy thanksgiving to all those who celebrate it :) and thanks for the great video you guys!

My favorite sides are Cranberry sauce, sweet corn and mashed potatoes.

The reason the South loves pecans is because pecan trees are native here so pecans are basically our default nut choice. In the past, when Thanksgiving was a harvest festival, people would use what they had on hand and since pecan trees drop their nuts at the end of October and beginning of November, and because in the shell the nuts will store for a long time, people would use them in all kinds of autumn and winter dishes. We also will use black walnuts which are a native walnut but they aren’t as readily available, and being that they can be bitter they’re more of an acquired taste. Other nuts like English walnuts, hazelnuts, and almonds can be really expensive here (like $10+ a pound!) because they have to travel so far so they get used less.

Pecan pie and roasted pecans with the cinnamon and brown sugar on top is just so good I can't even explain it.

A couple of corrections here Beasley, one America has lots of it in different types. Too American love of pecans is because that's where they're from when the field of discovered that the native uses to cook it became a staple in fact a lot of things America does it's based on our past.

Growing up our south eastern US Thanksgiving, in addition to some of what he mentioned, always had lime jello casserole and succotash, mmmm, and of course as far as Im concerned cranberry sauce only comes in a can and should hold the can's shape after it falls out of the can lol (there's a dividing line in my family on cranberry sauce, "real" vs jellied)

One reason pecans are so popular in the US is there are a lot of pecan farms in our southern states. As nuts go, they have a mild taste with a slight sweetness that make them perfect for sweet, dessert, pastry things. Some will grind up pecans not quite to a flour, while still pretty coarse, and use it to coat fish (usually southern catfish) before baking or frying. Basically, the nuts replace flour, crushed corn flake cereal, or panko. It's quite good.

Hazelnuts (filberts) are huge in the pacific north west. They definitely make their way into a lot of salads, stuffing/dressing, and as a topping for baked goods. Apple pie and cider are also real popular due to so many being grown here and their autumn harvest. Marionberry pie/wine/jam is an Oregon thing you don't see many other places.

Pecans, pronounced "pee-KAHNs" in the south, are widely available there because of climate and soil conditions. Walnuts and hazelnuts are subbed in farther north.

14:00 my brother in law is from New Mexico and he introduced me to green chili a handful of years ago at Thanksgiving dinner. Its really not spicy though. A tiny bit of space maybe, but I'd say no more than like the pepperoni on a pizza. But its a nice sweet and tangy flavor. Its really good.

The reason huckleberries aren't common in areas other than the mountains is because they do not 'domesticate' well at all and are a wild alpine or high-altitude berry rarely found below 2000 feet. More often than not, they are found growing at 2500-5000 feet of altitude. Similar is shape and color on the outside to blueberries, they are however much more acidic (tart, yet sweet) and stain your fingers, lips and tongue purple filled with juice. Personally, I like a blueberry, but LOVE a huckleberry! Only trick is, so do both Black and Grizzly bears... Picking in the late summer can come with encounters in large patches of berries where you can be picking on one side of a 20-30-yard-wide huckleberry patch and a bear is picking on the other side... BTW, they win. 😆

Pecan pie is VERY delicious, particularly if prepared correctly. It is sweet and nutritious at the same time.

Today I had turkey, corn casserole, yams, deviled eggs, green beans, mashed potatoes, buttered white bread, cranberry sauce and apple cider.

It’s strange that they always exclude most of Texas when talking about cuisine. We have a fusion cuisine of southern, Mexican, and “Texan” dishes.

Stuffing, is when you literally stuff the turkey with the diced bread mixture (there are 1,000s of recipes) while it's cooking. Dressing, is prepared and cooked on the stovetop or baked separately from the turkey, in a casserole dish in the oven. Personally, I am not a huge marshmallow fan, so I prefer the nutmeg/brown sugar/ butter/pecans, toasted topping on my sweet potato casserole. Also, something that was not mentioned is cornbread with honey butter. It is best served steaming hot straight out of the oven, so that the honey butter melts into the cornbread muffins immediately. You can add some finely chopped rosemary to the batter, which gives it a wonderful kick of flavor.

We have baked beans here in the US. Bushes country style are my family's favorite. Our favorite side dish is sweet potato casserole. The topping is corn flakes crushed, brown sugar, pecans bits and melted butter. Delish!!!

Millie! collard greens are divine if cooked with a pinch of sugar to tame any bitter flavor. Many use a salt pork and smoked meat like ham hock to season theirs. I am from North Carolina and we typically eat a cabbage collard as it's called. Also they are better if there has been a groud frost before harvesting. Help with the flavor!

Pecans grow wildly in the South. My neighbor has a pecan tree and drops in my yard but I don't mind. If you get tamales, get them in the southwest those are the best in my opinion. California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas, I found it to be zestir and spicier. My favorite is the beef tamales. It's made with chicken and pork also, but you know us we're innovated we'll put anything in a tamale even M&M's. It does take a lot of work to make tamales couple of days I would say and yes it's like an assembly line. All the ladies talking and gossiping while they work. At the end it is worth it. 🦃 Happy Thanksgiving 💖

Hello from Oregon coast. The huge thing for us here is Dungeness Crab from Thanksgiving to Christmas. From the crab itself to crab dips for crackers and crab casseroles. Hope every haves amazing holiday season.

I'm from Arkansas and have never, ever had turkey spaghetti in red sauce especially at a holiday. Thanksgiving meal usually consists of turkey, dressing (NOT stuffing, there's a difference), sweet potatoes in some form, corn, homemade rolls, greens, green salad, potatoes salad, coconut pie, chocolate pie, and another dessert of some sort. this is particular to my family but generally held true across friends. (Chicken spaghetti is a routine dish and is made with a white sauce.)

How my family does Thanksgiving turkey.... Thaw Frozen turkey as directed. Rinse out turkey with warm water to get rid of the frozen blood and stuff inside it. We usually get a butterball. Pull out the bits in the back cavity. Place the neck, gizzards, heart, etc. in a pan full of water and a little salt. Boil until cooked. Pull meat out of pan and let cool. Save stock for later use. Set up meat grinder and grind two or three medium onions, quartered and four or five stalks of celery into another pan. Strip meat from neck bones and grind up all the neck meat, gizzards etc. into same pan. put half a stick of butter in that pan and simmer until onion/celery is cooked. Get an extra large bowl and fill with pepperidge farms sage and onion croûtons. Pour onion/celery/meat/butter over croutons. Take stock water you put aside and use that to make the croutons damp. If you can't get the flavored croutons just get plain croutons or make them in the oven overnight and use poultry seasoning (had to do that in Macedonia). Hand mix until evenly distributed. Stuff Turkey front and back then sew it up. In a small sauce pan place one stick of butter and two or three rounded tea spoons of paprika. Melt butter and stir in paprika. Pour butter/paprika mix over turkey and rub all over Turkey. Preheat oven and roast as the directions state in a roasting pan. Baste at proper intervals with water and then turkey juice. Last hour place aluminum Foil tent over Turkey to keep breast from drying out. Remove turkey to cutting board to rest and after pan has cooled down make gravy from drippings. Extra stuffing goes into baking dish and is baked right along with turkey if you have the space. Top meal off with mashed potatoes, corn, garlic green beans with bacon, etc.

I get tamales every time my grandma makes them, not just thanksgiving, and they are always good

Baked beans in the United States especially in the south is usually part of a barbecue! And I've never been to England but I love baked beans on toast!

I’m my neck of the woods it’s Turkey or glazed ham. We include gravy, mashed taters, corn, green beans, stuffing if you have a Turkey, pumpkin pie and sweet tater pie, candied yams. This is how we do in the south.

Happy Thanksgiving 🥰

The history, and meaning of Thanksgiving is pretty murky (ugly history or regional differences), but it's now more about just being around family, family friends, and just being thankful for what you have. Not only that, to me anyway, learn a bit around Native American culture. Because it's linked to a temporary alliance with the Natives. Trust me, it's so fascinating!

Puppy chow was always my favorite dessert on Thanksgiving and Christmas.

I lived in California and now live in Arizona. I have always had baked beans. I've never had it on toast. We usually have it at barbecues alongside potato salad and corn on the cob with hamburgers, chicken or steak.

A Thanksgiving meal is my most favorite kind of meal. I can't believe pumpkin pie was not mentioned. Or how about celery with cream cheese and the many variation of gravies. Even cooking the turkey is done in many different ways. We love the meal so much that many of us will have it at Thanksgiving and than again a month later at Christmas.

Texas Here! Sweat potato casserole with marshmallows on top is the Bomb Ass Diggity 😍 And Pecan Pie 🤤🤤🤤

Arguments about stuffing (inside the bird) versus dressing (baked separately in the oven. Every family has their own recipe. Corn casserolle is amazing. Shocked there was no apple or pumpkin pies--those are iconic.

I just started watching your channel in the last couple of weeks when I would see videos for it on my KZfaq home page -- I really enjoy it! For me, no Thanksgiving is complete without cranberry sauce (with REAL cranberries, NOT the stuff from a can), green bean casserole (didn't see it mentioned in this video for the Midwest, but it's a STAPLE -- green beans baked in a mushroom soup sauce and topped with french-fried onion strings!). My family does sweet potatoes, but with the pecan topping, not the marshmallow. A lot of what people have is determined by 1. Traditions handed down from ancestors and where those ancestors came from/moved from 2. What people could grow easily and successfully based on weather conditions and length of the growing season.

5:43 did bees just say the US doesnt really have baked beans? the UK actually got baked beans from the colonies and brought it back to the UK. we just arent boring enough to only put it toast out of the tin can 🙄

Question. Does the "Full on English Breakfast" have regional variations or is it pretty standardised all over?

We definitely have baked beans in the US, lol. They're delicious with fried chicken and bbq here in the South, or just in general when we grill.

Favorite food is mashed potatoes covered in butter and lots of gravy. Right next to the turkey & cranberry sauce. A big dish beets, again covered in butter, are one thing we grew up with. Apple pies, pumpkin pie and a cherry pie. Love this holiday. Having family come together is a special feeling. Thanks for sharing this!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I am spending it alone but hope you all have a great time!

I think he's pretty accurate... If you visit during these holiday times keep in mind the cold! I always recommend Boston or new England area to see a lot in a trip because states are smaller and tons of American history.. But it's cold in Nov!! So in summer I'd recommend south.. Either California or Georgia.

Love Thanksgiving. It’s a lot of work with all the cooking but so worth it. We do have baked beans but not usually on toast. Good reaction

Where I live which is the west part of Texas we use ground beef stuffing for turkey. Since we have a huge family we have 7 different kinds of pies including pumpkin pie, pecan pie, wild berry pie, blue berry pie, cinnimon apple pie, cherry pie, and key lime pie. We cook turkey and ham. When we cook the ham we put pineapple slices on top with cherries. We also make pierogi which is Ukrainian and Polish dumplings boiled and filled with mashed potatoes and a pinch of thinly sliced green onions in each of them. We have a specific recipe for pierogi which has been passed down from generation to generation. We also make our own tamales the Mexican way because my grandma is from Mexico and moved to the U.S when she was a child. Since we are a very mixed family from around the world, we have a variety of choices and experiences on Thanksgiving. I am mixed with a lot of races and ethnics in my genes including some type of Native American and Aztec DNA which I only have 1% or less of it. I would have to be 50% or more to be part of a reservation though.

I wouldn't eat pecans plain, like having a handful of cashews or such, but pecan pie is one of my favorites. With whipped cream. I love anything sweet potato and candied sweet potatoes are a favorite. But they can be made wrong. I'll still like it, just be disappointed. I don't care for stuffing and don't like cranberry sauce. But cranberries in muffins, etc, are good.

Here in north Georgia we call them “pecaans” my Granny said “peacans” are something they used to keep under the bed so they didn’t have to go outside to relieve themselves. 😜

I love pecans. My parents have a couple of pecan trees in their backyard that make plenty of them. They're good on their own, salted, candy coated, or roasted. Pecan pie is a southern staple. And I also love pecan pralines.

When it comes right down to it, the differences in what countries like can be boiled down to what's easy to grow in them. Different countries in different climates can grow different things. So things that were easy to grow get used the most in recipies back in the day.

Is it weird that I have a slight anxiety of meeting someone from any other part of the world and they start asking me about all these US-specific dishes they saw in a YT video and either I've never had most of it or I'll have no idea what they're talking about? :D

Hockey hits for couple reactions and bruins vs maple leafs game 7 rewind 2013 by sb nation

Hope all the American viewers had a Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃Loved both of your reactions!😊 This just gives me more reason to be Thankful that I'm from the Southeastern US (SE Tennessee).🙏 We definitely have the best Thanksgiving food. At our house, we have turkey, smoked or honey baked ham, dressing (never stuffing), Italian green beans (not those hard green beans that wouldn't get tender if you cooked them for a week), broccoli casserole, homemade mac & cheese, candied yams (with brown sugar & chopped pecans) that look like the ones in the video with the marshmallows on top, cranberry sauce, giblet gravy, yeast rolls, pumpkin pie & sometimes no-bake cheese cake with cherry pie filling on top or pecan pie! Now, that's Thanksgiving Dinner - NOT fish, rice or tamales (gross)!!!😊🤗😘

As an actual Southerner, I gasped a little when Kyle called cornbread dressing "stuffing." NOOooo, lololol. Also, peach cobbler and pecan (puh khan) pie are LIFE.

This is why we are all fat lmao

I live ten minutes from Plymouth Plantation in Plymouth Mass where it all began. Turkey, Stuffing, Mashed Potatoes, Yams, Turnip, butternut squash, peas with pearl onions, green beans, cranberry sauce, gravy, warm snowflake rolls , crescent rolls . Dessert- apple pie with vanilla ice cream, mince meat (made with fruit & spice not meat) pie, my family never had pecan pie and I don't like it..too sweet. Always a dessert table with brownies and cookies and home made baked goods etc brought by guests. I'm sure I'm forgetting something. With my mom gone and my siblings now going to their kids (my kids go to their fathers) I now eat a delivered meal.

Greetings from FL! We have baked beans but our baked beans are sweet and are usually served at barbeques or outdoor events.

I live in Detroit Michigan USA.. and we always have the traditional turkey green bean casserole mashed potatoes stuffing and most importantly rutabaga.. rutabaga is I believe what you guys call Swede?? Simmer in saltwater smash like potatoes add a bunch of butter and a little bit of honey and salt yummy!! One of the big reasons we have it for Thanksgiving is it's best if there is a good Frost before it's harvested it makes the plant change and the starches turned to sugar and it gets sweeter!! And speaking of baked beans back in 1919 Boston baked beans we're so popular they had a vat of molasses that had two and a half million gallons break and people died they say that Boston still smells like molasses on a hot day!! 🤔🤔
