Do not ruin the most important meal of the year with a terrible accompaniment dishes.


Ah,Thanksgiving-The larger, the most traveled and the best culinary holidays of the year. It's like a comfortable and comfortable retreat for our souls for a period of falling temperatures and very little day. Of course, making the gathering so special is the food. So, after a full day behind the burners tending in Turkey, why would you ruin the most important meal of the year with a sucky trackside dishes? Avoid Thanksgiving's worst offenders, which we have carefully described for you here at all costs. And make sure the Aunt Karen gets the memo.

1

Canned cranberry sauce

If the skin of the skin can be fashioned - and the way it slipped from said it can! - This venture atrocity is not enough to keep you away, I'm not sure your dinner can be saved. At best, it is a gritty gel tarnishing juicy turkey slices and fluffy dinner rolls. At worst, a Jiggling display of the 1950s canned has shot.

Boiled vegetables

Brussels Germs, Carrots, Onions - All that has been boiled in turn in an exhausting mess that should never see the daylight on Thanksgiving. Instead, give these autumn vegetables vibrating what they deserve: a good roasting until they are crisp around the edges and showing their best flavors.

Sweet potato pan

Refuge

Why on earth would you like to ruin such a good thing? Sweet potatoes and yams are already packaged with great sweetness. Gobbing Marshmowlows on the top and melt them in a glutinous mess only means that it will literally remain everything. And nobody needs a sugar bomb like this, not even dessert.

4

Ambrois salad

Ambrosia fruit salad
Refuge

An excellent example of 1960s trends has been terribly false, ambrosy and Jell-o salads should have been prohibited long before the new millennium. Seriously, what kind of crime against fruit is it?! Not only is it too soft and sticky, Gooop's texture is sufficient to send chills to our thorns.

5

Crémed onions

These could be grandmother's favorites, but she is sure as if you want to eat them. (Seriously, who wants to eat a onion alone?!) Even in this cream sauce too butrius, pearl onions are unknown for - and they do no favor in the breath department.

6

Crucified

Refuge

If someone comes to your door with a pre-cut tray, do not hesitate to send them packaging. Not only is this incredibly lazy, it is nowhere close to the caliber of the accompanying dish that your blank Turkey deserves. Even as a game day snack, it pushes it - and Thanksgiving is not even on football.

7

Maize pudding

Refuge

Is this corn bread? Cream? A tasty "pudding"? "Nobody knows because this dish is impossible to nail - and it is honestly not worth the effort, even if you do it. A mix of canned and creamy corn and cheese cheap totally ruins a favorite autumn harvest. If you have to serve corn next to your bird, slice the COB fresh.

8

Caramelized soft potatoes

Refuge

The addition of extra sugar to Nature's Candy is blasphemous when it translates into this sympropy disorder. This sad excuse for a Thanksgiving dish also eats an extra time, because you have to cook the front potatoes of "caramelize" in a brown sugar and orange juice. Just serve your oven potatoes and be done with it.

9

Pot of green beans

Green bean casserole
Refuge

Yup, we said it. Anyone who thought about frozen green beans with a canned mushroom soup cream should be out of their rocker. Adding canned fried onions does not help either, either. If you will include this dish, do it correctly and use entirely fresh ingredients. Too much work? We thought it. Leave it instead of your table and sauté instead.

10

Macaroni and cheese

Sorry not sorry that this darling food is not the best match for Thanksgiving. While the jury is still on its pairing with Turkey (we are not huge fans), it is also quite useless from all other carboxy carbonization loads you will do all day long (looking at you , farce, mashed potatoes, dinner rolls and pie).

11

Ham

Refuge

While some swear by a second protein on Thanksgiving, it is simply the day of Turkey to shine, no other about it. Ditch pork and stick to the traditional bird or go home. I mean, there is even any tryptophan to blame your self-induced food coma. Past!

12

Wet stuffing

Stuffing
Refuge

Of course, your bird looks pretty legitimate with sausage stuffing, but the result is a soft blob and so wet bread and crunchy celery. To opt formiscarry With the cooktop method and finish it in the oven for a peak crisis that will soak all this goodness of sauce and Turkey to the juice on your plate.

13

Soupe

Cauliflower potato soup
Refuge

Butternut squash, cauliflower, broken peas - No matter what you plan to serve as a precursor at the main event, it will be about a platter. Just cut to hunt and do not waste precious time, or space on the table, to make and serve as soup.

14

Gratin potatoes

Refuge

As if Thanksgiving was not glutton enough, you now want to add even more starch? And to top it with tons of cheese? No thanks. Even when performing perfectly, the gratin style has nothing on the mashed potatoes - especially when the butter, broken with skins, and Super Garlicky. As the saying goes, keep it simple.

15

Fresh cranberry and apple jam

Cranberry relish
Refuge

The raw cranberries are super pies and associating them with green apples does not help this affair. In addition, no one wants to spend the time to grind them with a dough (literally). In addition, it is a cold condiment that spoils the Jibe of your turkey and your tather. Leave this one go and spend your time doing delicious homemade cranberry sauce.

16

spinach

Creamed spinach
Refuge

You know what is worse than the 1950-style frozen style spinach that are baked at a breathtaking mess? Adding butter, cheese and cream gogs until these Soggy greens float in a glorified celebration dip. Mix this garbage idea (seriously, what are people really by the fork?!) And add real green to the table: Steam or pan-jumps some fresh spinach with garlic and an oil of Superior quality extra virgin olive. And a pinch of freshly grated parmesan, for a good measure.

17

Germs of brussels boiled

Boiled brussels sprouts
Refuge

Ah, the Germ of Brussels has been severely debated. While almost all food bloggers, lifestyle guru, celebrity, and nutritionist laud as the reprisals of this miniature cabbage, we know he does not fill the hype. At least not on the thanksgiving scale. Leave the subpar, Gassy VEG for your holiday post grain bowls. And do not listen to your friends hipster about keeping it on the table for a return "ironic 1970s." This is what the whiskey carafe in the middle of the century is for.
