What food item(s) that are being served for Thanksgiving tomorrow will your kids..

[C.Ann]

Not eat because they don't like it?

If I was cooking tomorrow it would be:

Adult DD: no broccoli or cauliflower with cheese sauce; no cottage cheese; no gravy

Dson-in-law: anything that resembles a vegetable; no pumpkin pie

DGD (11): She would eat everything - has never been a picky eater (EXCEPT for pizza and spaghetti sauce - which I wouldn't be serving anyhow)..

 

[NikitaZee]

My two sons will eat everything, my daughter will eat nothing. She's going through a phase (at least I hope it's a phase) where she only wants certain foods, and nothing else. We'll put a little of everything on her plate, and if she eats or doesn't eat, fine. She can always go into the fridge (after dinner) and get a cheese stick and a yogurt so she's not hungry all night. But, since it's a special day, we'll let her have dessert anyway.

You don't serve pizza for Thanksgiving?

Well, it is not a holiday here. Kids have school all day, DH is out of town on business, the oven is tiny and I can't get half the ingredients so we will not be having our usual meal tomorrow If we were it would be:

Me not eating gravy. I hate gravy.

DH not eating pumpkin pie.

DD12 not eating carmelized baby onions.

DS10 not eating turkey, mashed potatoes, green beans or carmelized baby onions

everyone likes the sweet potatoes, carrot pudding, cranberries, rolls, and gingerbread pudding though

My kids eat pretty much everything. I don't like Pumpkin Pie but other than that I think everyone will eat everything--assuming it is traditional Thanksgiving food and knowing my BIL we could end up eating some funky stuff instead of Turkey and the fixings.

DH does NOT eat Turkey.

DD does not like sweet potatoes. She has attacked the HB Ham already. I had to hide it from her.

DS will not eat the mashed potatoes. That's the only food the kid won't eat - will eat sushi and all kinds of off-the-wall food, but no potatoes.

DD won't eat olives or sweet potatoes.

I won't eat the stuffing that DH's family makes (I do, however, make my family's stuffing and bring it along with me). They make a very old-world German style meat stuffing - 3 pounds ground pork, 3 pounds ground beef with some bread crumbs. It's like eating meatloaf stuffed in a turkey.

 

[Stacerita]

DD won't eat the creamed corn. She doesn't eat corn.....ever.

One of my late grandparents used to make the meaty stuff like that... gross.

DD12 will not eat cornbread dressing, sweet potato casserole, or pumpkin pie. she eats turkey, mashed potatoes, all types of beans and whatever type of roll or bread is served. she doesn't eat the desserts either. she doesn't really eat sweets at all, except hard candy.

 

[MomofKatie]

DD will not eat turkey (for moral reasons...) and will not allow me to cook a turkey. So, no turkey for us on Thanksgiving.

DD and DH both hate green beans. I usually make a teeny green bean casserole anyway, and eat it all myself. Yum!

DD doesn't do gravy.

NHdisneylover, we actually ARE having pizza for Thanksgiving!! We are doing a "non-traditional" holiday with some friends this year.

 

[Kitty 34]

Definitely my rutabaga. Only Mom and I eat that which is fine.

 

[pixiewings71]

Stuffing, for both of them....they both don't like that. And it would depend on what veggies there were if they were to eat them. But this year it won't matter because by this time we will have already eaten our Tgiving meal at Ralph Brenann's Jazz Kitchen, where they will be able to order off the regular menu, which is probably exactly what they will do. DD9 might have some of my turkey but that's probably it.

Green bean casserole
Bread

Funny things is first thing this morning the kids asked if we can go out for pizza tonight to at least do something special--so I guess we are too We make Chicken Enchiladas for Chistmas too so we are just all kinds of messed up!

Hey- it's fun to buck tradition and do something different every once in a while! One of the best Thanksgiving dinners I can remember was back in the late 70's, when I was about 11 or 12- we went to New Orleans to see the King Tut exhibit, and ate our T'giving dinner at a restaurant on the riverfront. My brother had escargots and oysters, and I ate shrimp scampi.

Sorry, this wouldn't fly at our house--honey you are free to not eat Turkey but the rest of us will be eating turkey. My 11 year olds wouldn't be telling me what I was allowed to do or not.

It isn't worth the drama and tears (yes, tears) over the "poor turkey" being eaten in front of her. Believe me, DD doesn't run the house, but I pick my battles. Turkey isn't so delicious as to cause me to start a huge blowup over it.

Does she feel the same about chicken? Pork? Beef? Fish? If so, what do you feed her?

 

[Meriweather]

My adult DD......no to turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, snap peas, pumpkin pie, onion dip, green salad. That leaves her with potatoes, gravy, rolls, corn and chocolate cheesecake.

DH....no to pumpkin pie

She will eat any and all other meats- but not turkey. Weird, I know, believe me!! Somehow, in second grade, she heard that turkeys are so dumb, they will drown themselves in the rain. She felt bad for them, thus starting the whole "save the turkeys" mind-set. It's really silly, but she is committed- she hasn't eaten anything with turkey in it for 4 years.
