Thanksgiving is coming up what is something you serve or have eaten that is out of the ordinary?

Green chili is a hit in my family.

we have soft taco shells with cream cheese n sweet relish ”mixed” n angus shaved beef,tomato n onion rolled up and then cut in pieces w tooth pic olive in it. its gone in 2 min.

We never do the usual turkey. One year we had mega-nachos, lasagna and salad and cheese bread one year, tacos another. Once we did like a football food day with hot wings, burgers and salads, beer, desserts. It is a day to give thanks, celebrate being together, not go to work. Shoot, we even use paper plates so we don’t spend all that time cleaning up! One year, before my mom passed, she brought over deli trays and we just snacked all day long. The stores always run out of the usual stuff, but you can always find stuff for anything else. The list goes on of the odd foods we have had…we have done sushi as a matter of fact, paired with a stir fry and Peking duck, enchiladas, BBQ pork sandwiches with salads{make my own BBQ sauce yummmmm}…go wild, don’t be mild{or common!}! The only time I have the usual is when I go over to some one elses place, which is rarely just for that reason.

we smoke one turkey and bake another. the smoked turkey is odd – when it’s done it’s completely black on the outside. doesn’t look very appetizing, but it is AWESOME
