Turkey is traditional, hams are popular along with all the trimmings. A feast actually and every year its different. But the highlight for me are the variety of pies! :-) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 20,145 Posted December 1, 2019 SamUK , I like pastry crusted things also ------- I bet you'll have something similar over there , we have meat and crayfish pies , stuffing in side either a mini pie shell or like a soft taco shell to make a pocket , then pinched on the ends to hold it together , then deep fried in oil , the crayfish folded pie is my favorite , I wish I wouldn't have thought of that , now I want one another pastry dessert I like , lady at the flea market makes these mini pecan pies , they are crunchy , I break them up into pieces and microwave them for about 20 seconds , 2 scoops Blue Bell Homemade vanilla ice cream , big squirt of Hersey's chocolate syrup , and aerosol whip cream sprayed over the top 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeepwm69 7,582 Posted December 2, 2019 I was off Thursday and Friday, but took a vacation day Wed and part of the day Tuesday, so I've was out of work most of the week. Spent that time just north of Atlanta is the suburbs. Huge number of pretentious, arrogant jerks. I despise going but we go there for Thanksgiving so they come to us for Christmas. Interstate in Birmingham was closed due to construction so the trip went from 7ish hours to over 9. Let's just say I'm glad the week is over. LOL Sam, around here Turkey, Ham, dressing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, rolls, and as mentioned, lots of pie. Eat till you're miserable. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty much any filling goes however common fillings are, chicken tikka, ham and cheese, cheese and onion, and not to mention a traditional Cornish pasty! It seems crawfish is a popular delicacy in Louisiana.. The closest we have is Crayfish (similar but smaller I believe), maybe one day I'll get to sample some LA dishes 🙂 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Our second biggest city is Birmingham also, guess what....?! It also is constantly riddled with traffic due to construction!! The foods you mention pretty much sum up what we eat here I've tour Christmas holidays lol.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeepwm69 7,582 Posted December 4, 2019 Yep, we eat all that again at Christmas. LOL My wife is allergic to crawdads. Gets all itchy and red if she eats them. I love em, but don't get to eat them much anymore. When we were younger guys would do boils a couple of times a year but now we're all old with kids so don't get together screwing off like we used to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RubiDan 596 Posted November 26, 2020 Thank you Sam and I hope all of you have a good and safe Thanksgiving. I know I have a lot to be thankful for. I'm warm, dry, am not hungry and my family are all doing well. We had our Thanksgiving meal in the middle of the day so the kids can have a meal with their wife's families this evening. The kids and grandkids will be back over tomorrow for leftovers. We had Honey Baked Ham, turkey, mashed potatoes, corn, green beans mac & cheese, dumplings, cornbread stuffing, cookies, pumpkin pie, pecan pie, apple pie and ice cream. I probably missed some things but anyway it was all good. It was good and I'm not hungry. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bighanded 1,235 Posted November 27, 2020 funny picture... gawd that's awful! (ROFL) only had one of the kids family unit over yesterday..the rest all go to in-laws..but it was nice time to just enjoy them...so my daughter, her hubby and their one kid..my 12yr old grandaughter who absolutely LOVES to ride the old Fourtrax...they arrived at the house around 11...first thing..she comes up for a hug and gives me that look and asks.. "Can we go ride Blue?" (the old 300 is a blue body one...so they've named it that) so we grabbed her a helmit tossed heron the saddle in front of me and rode for about an hour with me clutching the rear cargo rack rails (boy are my hands sore...grin) then the big meal around the formal dining table..very nice...desert was barely touched when she asks me again to go ride some more..she's petite so no way I'm letting her on the bike by herself..but she steers and throttles just fine..her feet on top of mine so I can still shift and brake. wonderful time with one of my grandkids and best part of my day. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
