I don't think I'm doing a proper American Thanksgiving this year and might just get some Chinese duck.
Also idk if it's a Maryland thing or a thing in my county in general (super German area) but we have sauerkraut to serve with turkey and it took me until I was like 30 to actually try it because I was so grossed out. It ain't bad.
I love turkey and rolls
The only Thanksgiving food I eat is mashed potatoes and gravy lol. Everything else is gross.

My favorite pie is blackberry pie.
Alamo in Northern VA is doing a Thanksgiving meal with their movies but I'm not driving out there for that.
my husband cooks, not me. he makes his grandmother's dressing, and it's the best thing about thanksgiving.
I make the cranberry sauce lmao, but at least it's homemade!
I'm weird, but my favorite part is the canned cranberry sauce and the bowl of black olives my parents always have for me because for some reason I needed olives on Thanksgiving?
