[clob94]

Our annual, "what did you shovel in your fvcking pie hole this year" thread is now under way.

Though @Belldozer1 will try and convince us that his old lady served Vienna sausages and saltine crackers for dinner........ we all know better. I'm hoping FB had a shrimp boil. (I miss those)

Fire away gents!

You went the brisket route? Nice. I'm assuming your lazy ass didn't cook it in the oven like some east coast Jewish grandma. Oven roasted brisket......pisses me off.

I've been doin' brisket since I lived in Georgia. The in laws had never heard of brisket, so I did one for Thanksgiving for them. From then on every year it was required of me to cook brisket for Thanksgiving.

I'm f^cking offended you would even let me using an oven cross your damn mind. Mesquite ONLY, 21 to 22 hours at 170-180. Final hour wrapped in foil thrown in an empty ice chest with the lid propped open with a beer can.

I actually had a former friend that would wrap a f^ckin' brisket in foil, and throw it in a pit. I'm like, "why in thee f*ck are you using a pit? Hell you might as well throw that bitch in the oven." F^ckin idiot.

Oh princess.... Cool your jets. I just know where your buttons are located and exactly how to press them. I'd personally kick you out of Bean Club if I thought for one moment you did yiddish brisket.

Sorry my friends for not replying earlier but I've been 'roughing' it in my new 5th wheel. I feel like Cousin Eddie in his RV. "Shitter's full". Oh and everyone may laugh but I bought the Luby's Thanksgiving meal to go, not bad.

 

[clob94]

The Mrs let you go hunting on thanksgiving did she?

No hunting, we just are kind of hanging with a few friends. I DO have my tailgater Dish so I'll be watching the games.

 

[Oldmanastro]

Did a Cajun fried turkey this year along with normal stuffing and mashed potatoes. Wife did make mashed sweet potatoes and added Khalua to them, not bad. Drank BM’s (bloody marys) all day and fell asleep on the couch watching more Medal of Honor episodes.

 

[StainedOrange]

Smoked beef ribs, chicken enchilada casserole and then the classic fixings. Lemon marange pie.

 

[freeper]

Roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, giblet gravy, cornbread dressing, peas, asparagus, rolls, cranberry sauce, sweet potato casserole....pecan and apple pie....time to go sleep it off....

So pretty much traditional but with a small twist.

You went bbq and Mexican and classic? All over the map. Ballsy.

Straight traditional. Did you dress in pilgram wear as well?

 

[Metcalf #2]

Clob stop making so much noise I'm trying to sleep.

 

[Son of Wasatch]

Family gathered at my parents house. I did most of the cooking but we did a traditional oven roasted Turkey, Ham, all the traditional sides and Pumpkin pie, Pecan Pie and a big chocolate cake.

 

[GuaranteedFresh!]

Full on traditional for us as well. Ate some overpriced animals, 1 scoop each of a million sides, sampled a plethora of pies, turned on football and drank some apple pie.

 

[LongfellowDrew]

20lb turkey, gravy from scratch, mash potatoes, ham, dressing, rolls, and whiskey.

Pumpkin cheesecake

 

[LonghornMM]

I'm having my family over today for Thanksgiving. On the menu: Texas football, fried turkey, rice and gravy, dressing, hash brown casserole, green beans and my mom's homemade pecan pie. My family is from Louisiana. I've never had mashed potatoes on Thanksgiving. Only rice and gravy.

Hook'em!

 

[Aggy=Nazi]

Roasted garlic turkey, honey baked ham, bread stuffing, cornbread stuffing, roasted brussels with bacon, green bean casserole (fresh Frenched) green beans, spinach cheese and rice casserole, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, cranberry sauce and gravy.
Desserts: Trifle, Death by chocolate cake from dessert gallery, and a casillo (Venezuelan Flan)

 

[bschroed21]

Turkey, ham, dressing, green bean casserole, Mac n Cheese, sweet potatoes, Tamales, ALL DROWNED IN GIBLET GRAVY, black berry cobbler with bluebell vanilla ice cream, also Apple Cobbler same way. One Seasonal Shiner at halftime of the Cowboy game. Cowboys win, Horns beat UNC. A good thanksgiving indeed.

 

[freeper]

So now I'm curious...what did you throw down yesterday @clob94 ?

Also, while I generally agree with you on oven brisket, there are times when some Jewish style brisket can serve in a pinch. Usually only if you find yourself trapped in a big city, with a surplus of rye bread and without ready access to a smoker. It does happen.

 

[clob94]

We do non traditional thanksgiving. We all vote the previous year and this year it was chateaubriand. I had to reduce the red wine sauce down first and I smoked it in a long French bread pan. Shallots, champignons (mushrooms for you non French speakers) tarragon etc. Mom as always handled the dessert, red currant cobbler. My brother was on the veggies, mushrooms and asparagus grilled with olive oil, and my sister in law handled the starches, fresh baked rolls and creamed potatoes with black truffle. The boys drank beer and the ladies had a nice chewy merlot with their steak. Mom couldn't believe I would bastardize a nice beef tenderloin by drinking a beer. "Savage" is the word I believe she used.

 

[freeper]

this year it was chateaubriand.

Not to distract from the game thread but now I'm curious. I do most of the cooking around here and I generally pride myself on being able to make any cut of meat tender. I've got to admit I've never tried my hand at chateaubriand. Mostly because my friends who have tried it, usually manage to dry it out. How do you do it?

High sided bread pan and you just have to keep turning it over, every 10 minutes. Keep that red wine coming.
