Thanksgiving Day Food Is the Worst Food

Thanksgiving is a farce. A wondrous, many-splendored, mysterious, and lovely farce, but a farce nonetheless. And since it’s the season for gratefulness, I’ll tell you one major thing I’m grateful for: the food at every single other holiday besides Thanksgiving. Sometimes the truth hurts. And the truth is that every other major American holiday celebration has better food than Thanksgiving Day.
Let me add a quick preface here: Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday. It’s much less stressful than Christmas, it’s mostly about football, and it typically falls on a far more temperate day than any of the other winter holidays. I love Thanksgiving. It might be my favorite holiday. But that has nothing to do with the food.
Let’s review the typical Thanksgiving spread, dish by dish. Here are the main items on the menu: turkey, cranberries, stuffing, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, and maybe some random green bean monstrosity. Shall we jump in?
It is from Slate. Nuff said. :mental:

I love the traditional Thanksgiving meal . Every bit of it :-) How often does one roast a turkey during the year with all the trimmings?
We used to serve the same meal at Christmas during our salad days, but have switched it out with prime rib and lobster or shrimp.

Suit yourself, more for me.
Enjoy your bean curd, TVP-burgers, and vegan chili. Shit tastes like cardboard to me.

I think the author comes from a family that CAN'T COOK. All of his/her objections are the result of bad preparation not the dishes themselves (except for the silly "I have never eaten stuffing" comment).
Mostly, this is just like a 4-yo throwing a tantrum in the family room (which one of the commentators pretty much said). LOOK AT ME, I HATE THANKSGIVING FOOD! I AM TROLLING FOR PEOPLE TO HATE ME SO I CAN GET A LOT OF ATTENTION!

I love it all especially the stuffing with a lot of giblet gravy.
I tried to eat at least a dab of everything Thursday.....must have been 20 different dishes and several meats there.
