@Michael Edwards I was just going to say this... Most folks overcook the turkey. It shouldn't be dry, mine's not. It's still tender and tasty as leftovers from the fridge.💚 Gravy is still a "must" too though... not to cover up anything, but to add to the dish...the "cherry on top". 💚 Rich flavorful gravy just throws awesome over the line.💚jmho
My mom threw on roasted parsnips and carrots this year. One of the best things on the table, honestly; sometimes those simple flavors stand out when everything else you have is loaded down with sage, onion, garlic etc etc.
The first 3 foods I have NEVER seen on ANYBODY'S Thanksgiving table. And that was the sickest looking pecan pie I have ever seen! Give these good folks a proper Thanksgiving dinner for crying out loud!!!
@@glynisevans1597Amen. A butternut squash makes an excellent pie. Looks like pumpkin, but has a richer flavor. And in 72 years I've never seen soup or spiced carrots on a Thanksgiving table. They would've lost their minds over my cornbread DRESSING not stuffing. And I agree, that was a pitiful pecan pie. Like what you got in the grade school cafeteria.
ok, so, we don't have ANY of these dishes at a midwest thanksgiving other than the one plate they had with the turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce. The staples of a midwest thanksgiving are Turkey, Stuffing, Cranberry Sauce, Mashed potatoes and gravy, PUMPKIN pie, Ham (sometimes, depends on how many people are there), greenbean casserole, sweet potatoes (yams), corn, and if you're from the south baked Macaroni and cheese. The foods from the video must be from some fancy pants town on the east coast or something. Not common anywhere I've lived.
In the south it would be honeybaked ham, stuffing, green beans (Possibly in casserole form if someone married a yankee), mashed potatoes, and probably cranberry sauce from a can. Lmao
@@Miss_Camel yankee🤯 My Wife and I are TEXANS For Thanksgiving, I smoke a turkey with oak & mesquite and steady hand fulls of beer soaked mesquite chips. For Christmas I smoke a Turkey & a Ham, some years Venison. My wife makes Mashed Potatoes and green bean CASSEROLE🤩. The only Yankees I know are.....EVERYONE not from TEXAS🤩.
yeah, i was thinking, "we don't eat any of this during thanksgiving!" (except of course the turkey & stuffing) they had another thanksgiving episode, and they had candied yams and green bean casserole
I can't imagine green bean casserole for Thanksgiving that would be as foreign as pecan pie, spiced carrots, and squash soup. I would never use corn bread for my stuffing either. The only 'authentic' thing there seemed to be the cranberry crap.
True... the yams/sweet potatoes are important...sometimes sweet potato pie too. Some people make Pistachio Fluff Salad (Watergate Salad), Green Bean Casserole, Cornbread, Baked Squash Casserole... and the list goes on... generally vegetable concoctions with turkey as the primary meat.
I am soooo sorry I can tell that pecan pie is burnt and dry And watching you all struggle to get a piece breaks my southern heart It should be moist and warm and the crust should be flaky If you could've had **good fresh pecan pie** you would have been even more impressed with it
I agree the pecan pie looked horrendous, but I still hate it in all its forms. LOL Just way too sweet for me. Now give me a sweet potato pie and I'll follow you to the ends of the earth.
Heather Haub it sounds good in theory but, I don’t trust to eat food cooked by none southerns. I used to work for a northerner and, I had to buy salt to use because he literally didn’t have any. He cooked too. One of his hobbies. Glad I never tried his food. If your cooking taste bad I’m going to be honest. If we don’t know how can we improve?
Yeah, even these fine Irish folks think turkey is dry. They need to take a trip to the U.S for a much better experience, they were cheated even the ones who said it was good.
Spiced carrots,squash soup,scalloped potatoes ??? Who the hell came up with this menu? Where's the mashed potatoes & gravy, green bean casserole, cheesy corn chowder, where is the PUMPKIN PIE? This was not a traditional American Thanksgiving meal.
Edie Bell right?! Collards or turnip greens are popular here down south, but I was really shocked that there was no nod to the mighty green bean casserole. Blasphemy.
In my 72 years, I have never had or heard of squash soup for Thanksgiving.. No scalloped potatoes, carrots, It's a shame they didn't have properly cooked food and real Thanksgiving food.. Roast Turkey (moist), pan gravy, sage dressing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie with whipped cream, light bread rolls, candied sweet potatoes,
I think I would love to live in Ireland and open a restaurant and bar doing American favorites and awesome comfort food. Yeah that includes thanksgiving and doughnuts.
I'm 1/4 Irish, and think these testers were duped. lol Traditional Thanksgiving menu when I was growing up in NY included: *Turkey* *Gravy* *Stuffing* (made from white bread, not corn bread. Cooked in the bird) *Mashed potatoes* with butter *Sweet potatoes* *Green beans* (not a casserole. My mother hated the recipe that someone came up with in the 1970s) *Cranberry sauce* (from a can, usually) *Pumpkin pie*
@@Brinkaskfavor yes, there has to be pecan pie wth vanilla ice cream. I always make homemade and same with pumpkin pie and also sweet potato souffle. We do ham though, I despise turkey 🤮
I am American and I have never even seen the soup or the carrot dish at any Thanksgiving dinner I've been to, and I've been to quite a few in various parts of the country. They must be some very niche regional dishes or the result of a mistake. Also, why in the world did you do pecan pie and not the literal Thanksgiving staples pumpkin pie or sweet potato pie? Plus, that turkey must have been a bit dry, being all white meat and with no gravy. Please give these people a real feast! Get some dinner rolls, some mashed potatoes, cornbread, whipped cream for the deserts, a bowl of punch, and casseroles on top of casseroles! Thanksgiving is all about comfort food, which this menu sorely lacked
That was a high end Thanksgiving, the kind where you hire caterers and waiters for the day. My husband has rich friends and we went to their house one Thanksgiving that is how I know.
Bougie Thanksgiving. I hate those Thanksgivings. Once is enough for me. I will stick with the baked Mac and Cheese, Yams, Sweet Potato Pie, Collard Greens, black eyed peas, corn bread, stuffing, chilled cranberry sauce ( that you slice from the can),Turkey and Ham ( even though I don't eat meat but my fam does). Then day two when you start mixing stuff together. Like mixing the turkey and stuffing together, heat it up and make sandwiches out of it or let a little of the yams juice hit that mac and cheese. Let's not forget the King's Hawaii Sweet Rolls!
Bowl of punch? You mean the big bowl with the Hawaiian Punch, 7up, orange slices and ice ring with cherries and orange slices in it? It always looks classy....
For me, it depends on who is coming to thanksgiving with my family. A big majority of my step dads family does not like mashed taters so we have scalloped taters when they come, but any other time it is hand mashed taters :P but yeah, butternut squash? carrot sticks? wtf
My first Thanksgiving away from home was when I was at University of Glasgow my junior year. There was one other American in our hall and we decided that we had to have Thanksgiving. We told all our professors that we would not be at class that day, we found an "American" store and bought as much Thanksgiving stuff as we could (no pumpkin pie...why did they not have pumpkin pie in this video? Pecan Pie is not the main Thanksgiving type of pie...we had to do with a store-bought apple pie). We had turkey, stuffing (a mix), cornbread, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes and some vegetables....and a nice gravy (had to make a long distance call to my mom from the residence hall's phone to figure out gravy... I'd never cooked much at all...and neither had the young lady who was the other American in our residence hall). As the Scottish students would pass the kitchen, they'd stop, laugh at us, and say they'd see us in the dining hall in a bit. Then we got cooking! Though we'd never cooked much before this, our meal was a great success and the scoffers were lining up outside the kitchen begging us to help eat it. We, of course, said "no way!" but fed them nevertheless...and a great time was had by all. It was one of the best Thanksgivings ever!
It's very nice that you were generous when they were unkind. Pumpkin was probably served at the original meal, but not as pie. Pecans probably weren't served either, the tree doesn't like colder climates. Apple dessert of some kind is more likely, perhaps stewed with honey. If you consider what the colonists had to work with, your meal was Lucullan.
Wonderful story! I was raised in the southeastern US, which meant multiple pies - pecan was mandatory as was pumpkin. Sometimes apple or mincemeat tarts. Cranberry relish is homemade and not from a can! Sweet potato casserole, mashed potatoes and gravy (made with drippings and organ meats), perfectly moist turkey (cook's secret 😉) green beans or Brussels sprouts sauteed with butter, garlic and walnuts. Dressing is either standard cornbread or sometimes oyster pie if we are feeling especially energetic. I will be having an "orphan" from the Italian apps at our table this year, look forward to sharing some of our family traditions with her.
What a beautiful story. It brought tears to my eyes. How wonderful it is to share with others, and in doing so you ALL had a great time. So very sweet.
It's a staple at my house, mostly because unless there's massive amounts of green bean casserole (Google it) the carrots will be the only vegetable at the table. Here's a basic recipe: Peel whole carrots and parboil them no more than 15 minutes. While that's cooking, make a cheese sauce using a mild cheddar and/or American cheese. Add any spices to the cheese sauce as desired. Grease a bread pan, put down a layer of carrots, then start alternating sauce and carrots. Finish with sauce at the top, then sprinkle heavily with crushed crackers. Bake at 350F (200C) until done.
Butternut Squash Soup? We Americans don't usually eat that at Thanksgiving...and that version of stuffing is fairly weird. Also, pumpkin pie is much more popular than Pecan Pie
+Landon Finn Landon... It's THANKSGIVING foods. That's the theme. Ireland doesn't observe Thanksgiving! Except for Canada (which does it on a different date and for a different historical reason), the States is the only place I know of that has a holiday called Thanksgiving.
Landon Finn Your comment doesn't address the point made. Ireland doesn't have Thanksgiving as a yearly holiday, so there are no traditional Thanksgiving foods in Ireland. Not honey glazed ham, not pumpkin pie, nothing.
Dear Irish people, Thanksgiving dinner means turkey, with stuffing (preferably cornbread, celery, onion, apple, sage and thyme). Then there's mashed potatoes, some preparation of yam, brussels sprouts or green beans, cranberry sauce, biscuits or rolls, and lots of gravy. Afterward, pumpkin pie. Some people like mincemeat or pecan, but pumpkin pie is the main thing. Or something completely different, I suppose. Gawd knows what those weirdos down the block are eating.
My grandmother always made "Pink Stuff" with cottage cheese, blended strawberry Jell-o and diced pineapples. Shit was amazing, best part of Thanksgiving.
Actually sad to say that at the first Thanksgiving they didn't eat turkey, they ate venison/deer meat. That's partly why Fall (including Thanksgiving) was considered deer hunting season. But the turkey is good too when it's cooked right, my thing is where was the pumpkin pie and sweet potatoes and sweet potato pie? They didn't give them really all the Thanksgiving food that is known for being Thanksgiving food, the only thing other than the turkey, cranberry sauce, and pecan pie that is typical Thanksgiving food that they had them try was the pecan pie. they didn't even do the staple pie, which is pumpkin pie.
Not a bad effort you missed a few items that are normal around the US. Honey Baked Ham, green bean casserole, real mac & cheese, real stuffing (not that cornbread you have,) Many different cakes/pies, really good mashed potatoes, turduckens, fried/smoked turkey, giblet gravy for when your Aunt/Grandma dries out the white meat. Day after thanksgiving turkey sandwiches and just about anything else you can come up with to consume the 20lb turkey the family made.
signelengis turkey tetrazzini is a tradition for my family. The last meal with the turkey is boiling the carcass to make a stock, picking what you can off it to make turkey noodle soup.
Ham? who has ham on Thanksgiving? Ham is a christmas meat. And if your turkey gets dried, guess what you aren't making it right! And cornbread stuffing is delicious.
I actually think they've done green bean casserole and they're Irish so I'm sure they've had plenty of mashed potatoes, they mention them often enough in these videos.
I don't know about California being to blame. Although alot of strange culinary stuff comes out of California. I tried some different things in my younger years, some good, some we don't talk about. I blame it on being in California. Must have been Governor Moonbeam's arial spraying every Wednesday evening.
People eat all of these dishes in different parts of America. If they just did the standard generic suburban American Thanksgiving it would probably be exactly what they eat for Christmas dinner so they picked dishes that are more uniquely American. In my family we have all our standard traditional things but each year we swap one of them for something new.
@@oregonian3238 No...I'm from California...here is what I was raised on Turkey, stuffing, ham, mash potatoes and gravy, dinner roles, green beans, yams, cranberries, green salad, pumpkin pie, maybe throw in sweet potato pie I have friends also who said you gotta add....greens....that is mustard and collard greens. And we also add corn on the cob but not all the time.
As a 50 year old American from the Northeast, the turkey and stuffing were the only dishes I could relate to in my 50 Thanksgiving experiences. It just goes to show how regional food can be.
Look, here in Alabama, we make fried turkey, sweet potato casserole w/ candied pecan topping, mash n' gravy, green bean casserole, cornbread dressing, strawberry shortcake, apple pie and ice cream, and pear salad.
....this made me sad....Thanksgiving is yams, mac and cheese, stuffing, Turkey, Ham, Mash potatoes, GRAVY. HOW COULD THEY FORGET THE BACKBONE OF THIS NATION. GRAVY.
OGSpaceCadet he said who picks the food they can’t be Americans. I’m saying it’s obviously not Americans picking the food because it’s an Irish channel...
@@BuBbLeBaThJaKe you have missed the point completely. In order to have a "traditional" American thanksgiving, they should have consulted with and American or I dont May be Google it. This is not traditional American thanksgiving dishes. They should have done more research.
Chandra Scharpf maybe traditional to you is odd to me or vice versa. What YOU eat at thanksgiving may not be the standard for the rest of the entire country. That’s what’s wrong with social media makes you think the world revolves around you
Everyone has Turkey and cranberry with normal stuffing and GRAVY. I dont have any of the other items. People are just saying there are much more popular flavorful dishes that represent America better than carrots and soup
who chooses the menu? that's not traditional thanksgiving food. that's crap where is the real dressing? the candied yams, the mashed potatoes and gravy? even Gordon Ramsey knows American thanksgiving items.
Well it may not be your thankgiving food that your family really isn't the center of the thanksgiving world. Turkey is about the only thing that stays central to the whole thing.
I'm from USA, and the south, and we don't eat any of those vegetables. These people judging the food seemed nice though like they understood all of America doesn't eat food like that on thanksgiving and maybe that it was cooked badly. we have mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, sweet potatoes, sweet potato souffle, my grandma sometimes made boiled potatoes and cabbage too, corn, peas, the carrots aren't roasted at my house, turkey, baked ham, corn bread dressing, fried corn bread, and rolls. deviled eggs, cranberry sauce but barely anyone ate it. and for pies we had pumpkin pie, chocolate pecan pie, and probably a cake or 2.
huchi mama Everyone in the united states knows the south for their soul food and a lot of it is vegetables so you must live somewhere in a cave if you think southerners dont eat vegetables. we grow a large amount of the vegetables. We dont throw some carrots on a pan and toast them is what I meant
I remember I acted this way when I had my first traditional cooking for thanksgiving! Growing up I had tamales and other Mexican food. Mmmm I love cranberry sauce with turkey and stuffing!!!! Yum yum yum.
LOL I'm also Mexican and we had a totally traditional Thanksgiving with sweet yams and cranberry sauce and all that jazz. We didn't bust out the Mexican food until Christmas and Easter.
Hell, you should have seen the old one they did. Idk what kind of potato they were serving, but it looked like a small football with cheese......lol Let's not push it. This was much better
I feel so bad for these poor folks every single time I see the pies they ask them to taste! Those crusts look sooo horrible, whoever they are using to make them should be stopped, just stop and find another vendor/source.
That's the saddest looking Thanksgiving dinner I've ever seen! Also, the soup and carrots are not traditional Thanksgiving dishes, think more like green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, the most amazing macaroni and cheese you've ever had in your life, gravy on your stuffing/dressing, and like 5 different kinds of pie! It's probably one of my favorite holidays here in America, and these poor people did not get an accurate representation of true American Thanksgiving, which honestly makes me a little sad:/
Sweet potato casserole/ candied yams! Yes! They should've just piled everything on one plate like everyone does. My grandma always homemakes Turkey noodles and we top our mashed potatoes with it. Though that's like carb overkill
Until they got to the turkey, I literally recognized none of that as Thanksgiving dishes. I thought for a moment they were celebrating another countries thanksgiving lol.
They've done Pumpkin pie before. I think they were just trying to cover all other Thanksgiving foods. (though a lot of these I've never seen served specifically on Thanksgiving. They're usually winter foods)
the only gravy I eat is sausage gravy and biscuits. It's always available at our table whenever ham, beef, turkey or pork chops are cooked. but never feel the need to use it. my family thinks I'm crazy for not eating it. but I also mix my potatoes and corn together and mix that with my meat with one big bite at a time.
Thanksgiving is the biggest Cooking day of the year. A lot of people put a lot of care into what they are cooking with old family recipes handed down. A lot of the foods on here looked like it came from cans and boxes. Which is fine for first timers but thanksgiving here is almost like a sport. Everything has to be timed perfectly and once you sit down to dinner, everyone is exhausted but the meal is well worth it.
I prep/cook for 2 days to get the whole production done correctly. Everything gets to the table hot and fresh and, usually, by the time that I have prepared all of it... I DON'T WANT TO EAT! But... the guests rave over how everything is the right temp, fresh and tasty so I guess I get braggin' rights even if I don't get a full stomach!
Who planned this meal and cooked it???? I don't know anyone who serves butternut soup on Thanksgiving. Most do not have carrots or that potato casserole. It's Turkey, cornbread dressing, gravy, mash potatoes, sweet potatoes, green beans or Brussels sprouts, and most important----PUMPKIN PIE. Pecan pie is an extra desert. And that pecan pie looked terrible. I did like their reactions to the dressing :-)
Most Southerners don't eat stuffing..we eat dressing. Our turkeys are usually smoked or deepfried...can't stuff such a bird. We do love pecan pie, but that concoction did not qualify as such. And potatoes....lol..you can guarantee there will be at least half a dozen different tater dishes..everybody has "that perfect one" that only they can make and only their kids will eat...so you gotta clear off that extra bit of space to make up for it.
Had an Englishman stay with us for a few weeks. The first weekend we did ribeyes on the grill with corn-on-the-cob (first pick of the season!). He looked at the corn and looked at us like we were nuts. I had to explain that this was "people corn"...not the same as the corn fed to livestock. He liked it.
@@kayfeared8254 what? There's a huge difference between grain corn that's fed to livestock and sweet, yellow/white corn that people eat. They're both corn, but vastly different. Btw...grilled corn on the cob is delicious! 😉
@@kayfeared8254 'Americans' indeed...the best Country on the planet. Everyone loves to hate on 'Murica, but it's ok. We know that peeps from outside the U.S.A. are jealous of our freedom of speech, our right to own guns, freedom of & from religion, etc... Have a blessed day. 😉
Great Man That's nice, the statement is still stupid. I don't care how you slice it. What exactly is so sad about it? That It's missing Gravy and some other things? Sure, cool. He definitely should have worded that differently though.
Who the hell came up with these foods being represented of Thanksgiving? Butternut squash soup? Scalloped potatoes? Spiced carrots? Never ONCE in my life have I ever seen these served. Where was the gravy? Where were the mashed potatoes? Where were the green beans smothering in mushroom sauce? Where were the Parker House rolls? Where were the f**cking sweet potatoes?
I make scalloped potatoes instead of mashed as well (my son has a thing with textures, and mashed potatoes always make him throw up). Otherwise though, I agree. I've heard of people doing honey-glazed or candied carrots for Thanksgiving, but not spiced. And who the f*** makes butternut squash soup?! The turkey/stuffing plate should've had gravy on it for sure. Both green bean casserole and sweet potato casserole should've been served.
I was looking for a comment on what I was thinking. She ends up saying that it was fine or delicious, but she has to firstly say that it was dry. She is not excited about one single thing.
If you wanted to give them a taste of real Thanksgiving, don't give them that tasteless upper class, crap. Give them the po folks Thanksgiving dinner. They were missing the best parts. Pumpkin pie, sweet potato pie, candied yams, real stuffing (the kind you bake separate from the turkey), ham, fried chicken/fish, collard greens, the real shit.
Y'know, I've always known about them from TV and movies but I've never had collard greens (I used to think they were called "collared greens" like they had... collars? or something?). I wonder what they are like. Yes, I am white.
Collard greens can be great or can taste bitter and awful depending on whether the cook knows what they're doing. A southern style barbecue or chicken place is your best bet to try them.
Sides include green bean casserole, broccoli rice casserole, candied yams, maybe mashed taters, and my wife's family always served cranberry salad ( a jello concoction. It's really good)
I don't know who made the menu, but if that's getting served, I'll pass... where's the pumpkin pie, sweet potatoes (candied yams), chicken and dumplings, carved turkey breast, yeast buns, mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole?!?!?!?!
That was the saddest pecan pie I've ever seen.
Sincerely; The entire south.
Jenny Lee Amen Sister! Who made that crust! They should lose their pie creds!
@@bieuxyongson The filling was thin too. It looked more like a candy bar or cookie.
And most of the rest of the country. That is NOT pecan pie. Maybe a pecan tart?
I'm from Pennsylvania and yes that was pathetic 🙃
As a southern belle, I can vouch for this. When I saw the pecan pie, I just said bless your heart.
Gravy, gravy, where's the gravy? NOBODY eats turkey without gravy.
Yeah right, serve a turkey dinner without gravy and you'll get carved.
@Michael Edwards I was just going to say this...
Most folks overcook the turkey. It shouldn't be dry, mine's not. It's still tender and tasty as leftovers from the fridge.💚
Gravy is still a "must" too though... not to cover up anything, but to add to the dish...the "cherry on top". 💚 Rich flavorful gravy just throws awesome over the line.💚jmho
Should definitely be able to eat it without gravy.
Except those who don't.
Half our family eats without gravy and with cousin ate 3 pounds of turkey without it
You "TURKEYS" have all missed the point. They're trying to give "American" food to Irish folks. The least they can do is get it CORRECT
How y'all forget sweet potato or pumpkin pie but include a damn carrot WHAT
V right?!?!
My mom cooks sweet potatoes with marshmallows on top its so weird but strangely delicious.
K4x2 That's not weird it's really common lol

Yeah I mean same but I could see them all being at a Thanksgiving, Green Bean Casserole is sort of mandatory and missing.

SWEET POTATO PIE in some parts of the south. Not Pumpkin. Pecan pie is definitely a southern-ish thing, but not holiday specific.

this is like thanksgiving at denny's not a real thanksgiving dinner that grandma made with love

-mashed potatoes
-GRAVY GRAVY GRAVY! MYST HAVE TURKEY GRAVY!!
-green bean casserole
-yams with brown sugar
-pumpkin pie
-apple cider
There might be another type of pie in there - IN ADDITION to the pumpkin. But if there's only 1 pie - it's pumpkin!

And stuffin
I really wish I liked pumpkin pie. I love the smell of it but can’t stand the taste. Dutch apple or cherry pies for me.
And Pecan pie.
Okay... you need mashed potatoes, gravy, turkey, dinner rolls, green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, and some kind of pie AT MINIMUM.
Sweet Hawaiian rolls warm from the oven with butter.
that was my reaction as well, "where is the mashed and gravy and the sweet potatoes!?"
You nailed it. This really is the iconic American Thanksgiving dinner. (edit: plus stuffing, done.)
That's what I came to see!
for the rolls it’s also either sweet hawaiian or sister shuebert.

Spiced carrots,squash soup,scalloped potatoes ???
Who the hell came up with this menu?
Where's the mashed potatoes & gravy, green bean casserole, cheesy corn chowder, where is the PUMPKIN PIE?
This was not a traditional American Thanksgiving meal.
Edie Bell
Thank you. This is exactly what I was about to comment
My feelings too.
Edie Bell right?! Collards or turnip greens are popular here down south, but I was really shocked that there was no nod to the mighty green bean casserole. Blasphemy.
They also forgot the glazed ham....Mac & Cheese....collared greens....sweet potatoe pie
Cheesy corn chowder?
In my 72 years, I have never had or heard of squash soup for Thanksgiving.. No scalloped potatoes, carrots,
It's a shame they didn't have properly cooked food and real Thanksgiving food.. Roast Turkey (moist), pan gravy, sage dressing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie with whipped cream, light bread rolls, candied sweet potatoes,
You've got that right! Amen!...
I agree except I have to change your choice of dressing to cornbread dressing.... mmmm....
Robin Conkel-hAnnan Me either, and we usually have mashed potatoes
im gonna lose my mind if l dont taste pumpin pie n whip cream, jesus christ get me a visa
Robin Conkel-hAnnan Tell me about it! I'm coming to your house for Thanksgiving this year! 👏👏👏👏👏
This is the most non American Thanksgiving dinner. I feel bad they didn't experience some real homemade thanksgiving food
I think I would love to live in Ireland and open a restaurant and bar doing American favorites and awesome comfort food. Yeah that includes thanksgiving and doughnuts.
Imagine how much they would like it if it was an actual good thanksgiving meal?
Why did they give them jail Thanksgiving food?
saintjasin LOL! EXACTLY.
Ooooooooh!
Exactly what I was thinking. Haha
For realz!! They deserve a better meal with the real shit we make
I used to be a Correctional Officer and you have no idea how true that statement is. Lol
Never had butternut squash at Thanksgiving in my entire life.
We had it at Thanksgiving and Christmas every year, all my life. It’s my fav veggie.
@@whiskeyricard Yuck...
I had few years ago tasted butternut squash soup for first time here in Ireland.
I had as a kid growing up in MA
We did, MN.
I'm 1/4 Irish, and think these testers were duped. lol Traditional Thanksgiving menu when I was growing up in NY included:
*Turkey*
*Gravy*
*Stuffing* (made from white bread, not corn bread. Cooked in the bird)
*Mashed potatoes* with butter
*Sweet potatoes*
*Green beans* (not a casserole. My mother hated the recipe that someone came up with in the 1970s)
*Cranberry sauce* (from a can, usually)
*Pumpkin pie*
Absolutely. Plus corn
Same menu (not Irish) from Oregon
I've never in my life heard of spiced carrots on Thanksgiving.
or the soup. i've never even heard of it being a regional thing. every family has their own variations and specialties, but never a soup.
@@Brinkaskfavor yes, there has to be pecan pie wth vanilla ice cream. I always make homemade and same with pumpkin pie and also sweet potato souffle. We do ham though, I despise turkey 🤮
I have had glazed carrots- brown sugar glaze
Me neither.
@Cynthia May Awww, I hate that you're alone. Wish that you lived near me. You could come over and we'd binge watch Game of Thrones!
If you eat stuffing and think it's bland and dry something has gone wrong.
Maybe it was dressing?
George A. She said every thing was dry...
+Tiffany Ramos ikr. There's always at least one that has something negative to say about every piece of food.
She even said the pie was dry which makes absolutely no sense
***** Well dressing is just stuffing not stuffed in a bird, so it's basically the same thing.
I am American and I have never even seen the soup or the carrot dish at any Thanksgiving dinner I've been to, and I've been to quite a few in various parts of the country. They must be some very niche regional dishes or the result of a mistake. Also, why in the world did you do pecan pie and not the literal Thanksgiving staples pumpkin pie or sweet potato pie? Plus, that turkey must have been a bit dry, being all white meat and with no gravy. Please give these people a real feast! Get some dinner rolls, some mashed potatoes, cornbread, whipped cream for the deserts, a bowl of punch, and casseroles on top of casseroles! Thanksgiving is all about comfort food, which this menu sorely lacked
That was a high end Thanksgiving, the kind where you hire caterers and waiters for the day. My husband has rich friends and we went to their house one Thanksgiving that is how I know.
So wait rich people eat that stuff?
@MaKayla yes.
Bougie Thanksgiving. I hate those Thanksgivings. Once is enough for me. I will stick with the baked Mac and Cheese, Yams, Sweet Potato Pie, Collard Greens, black eyed peas, corn bread, stuffing, chilled cranberry sauce ( that you slice from the can),Turkey and Ham ( even though I don't eat meat but my fam does). Then day two when you start mixing stuff together. Like mixing the turkey and stuffing together, heat it up and make sandwiches out of it or let a little of the yams juice hit that mac and cheese. Let's not forget the King's Hawaii Sweet Rolls!
Bowl of punch?
You mean the big bowl with the Hawaiian Punch, 7up, orange slices and ice ring with cherries and orange slices in it? It always looks classy....
3:07 “just the tip” hilarious and the other girls face, priceless...!
Never had butternut squash, scallops potatoes or carrot sticks at our Thanksgiving dinner.
For me, it depends on who is coming to thanksgiving with my family. A big majority of my step dads family does not like mashed taters so we have scalloped taters when they come, but any other time it is hand mashed taters :P but yeah, butternut squash? carrot sticks? wtf
Same here.
We have squash , that's it , And mashed Potatoes , I cant stand Pumpkin Pie that's why my mom makes Cheese cake .
Same...Who makes this crap and calls it Thanksgiving?
I'm sorry, but if you're doing healthy foods at Thanksgiving you're doing it wrong.
My first Thanksgiving away from home was when I was at University of Glasgow my junior year. There was one other American in our hall and we decided that we had to have Thanksgiving. We told all our professors that we would not be at class that day, we found an "American" store and bought as much Thanksgiving stuff as we could (no pumpkin pie...why did they not have pumpkin pie in this video? Pecan Pie is not the main Thanksgiving type of pie...we had to do with a store-bought apple pie). We had turkey, stuffing (a mix), cornbread, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes and some vegetables....and a nice gravy (had to make a long distance call to my mom from the residence hall's phone to figure out gravy... I'd never cooked much at all...and neither had the young lady who was the other American in our residence hall). As the Scottish students would pass the kitchen, they'd stop, laugh at us, and say they'd see us in the dining hall in a bit.
Then we got cooking! Though we'd never cooked much before this, our meal was a great success and the scoffers were lining up outside the kitchen begging us to help eat it. We, of course, said "no way!" but fed them nevertheless...and a great time was had by all. It was one of the best Thanksgivings ever!
+Father Philip Kontos - That was a lovely story. Thanks.
It's very nice that you were generous when they were unkind.
Pumpkin was probably served at the original meal, but not as pie. Pecans probably weren't served either, the tree doesn't like colder climates. Apple dessert of some kind is more likely, perhaps stewed with honey.
If you consider what the colonists had to work with, your meal was Lucullan.
Wonderful story! I was raised in the southeastern US, which meant multiple pies - pecan was mandatory as was pumpkin. Sometimes apple or mincemeat tarts. Cranberry relish is homemade and not from a can! Sweet potato casserole, mashed potatoes and gravy (made with drippings and organ meats), perfectly moist turkey (cook's secret 😉) green beans or Brussels sprouts sauteed with butter, garlic and walnuts. Dressing is either standard cornbread or sometimes oyster pie if we are feeling especially energetic.
I will be having an "orphan" from the Italian apps at our table this year, look forward to sharing some of our family traditions with her.
What a beautiful story. It brought tears to my eyes. How wonderful it is to share with others, and in doing so you ALL had a great time. So very sweet.
Pecan (pecawn) Pie is New Orleans/Deep South and standard for Thanksgiving!
I never seen anyone cook carrots for Thanksgiving.
A lot of people are vegetarians these days, and they do love the side dishes!
It's a staple at my house, mostly because unless there's massive amounts of green bean casserole (Google it) the carrots will be the only vegetable at the table. Here's a basic recipe:
Peel whole carrots and parboil them no more than 15 minutes. While that's cooking, make a cheese sauce using a mild cheddar and/or American cheese. Add any spices to the cheese sauce as desired. Grease a bread pan, put down a layer of carrots, then start alternating sauce and carrots. Finish with sauce at the top, then sprinkle heavily with crushed crackers. Bake at 350F (200C) until done.
My mom always makes creamed carrots as a side. Might just be a family tradition type of thing.
greenflower360 We have carrots as a side dish every year. Looks pretty with the harvesty orange color
My family opts for green beans at Thanksgiving. Don't remember having carrots except on the appetizer tray, raw.
oh no. honestly you've got to visit US at thanksgiving time and actually have the feast with a big family. then you'll get it.
and love it.
Butternut Squash Soup? We Americans don't usually eat that at Thanksgiving...and that version of stuffing is fairly weird. Also, pumpkin pie is much more popular than Pecan Pie
James O'Brien pecan pie is a more southern thing. I've always had pecan pie at thanksgiving... pumpkin was actually a rarity.
Fair enough...but they should clarify then in the video on that. haha....
We had butternut squash, no soup and have had pecan, apple, and pumpkin pies. From New England.
James O'Brien speak for yourself
I can’t stand pumpkin pie
No honey glazed ham? no pumpkin pie? you just robbed them of more orgasmic tastes!!!!
i think they are just trying to show american specific foods, i would imagine they have honey glazed ham and pumpkin pie in ireland
+Landon Finn
Landon...
It's THANKSGIVING foods. That's the theme.
Ireland doesn't observe Thanksgiving!
Except for Canada (which does it on a different date and for a different historical reason), the States is the only place I know of that has a holiday called Thanksgiving.
globalization, look it up
Landon Finn
Your comment doesn't address the point made. Ireland doesn't have Thanksgiving as a yearly holiday, so there are no traditional Thanksgiving foods in Ireland. Not honey glazed ham, not pumpkin pie, nothing.
pumpkin pie and glazed ham was not created specifically for american thanksgiving, so I think they have it in ireland
Dear Irish people,
Thanksgiving dinner means turkey, with stuffing (preferably cornbread, celery, onion, apple, sage and thyme). Then there's mashed potatoes, some preparation of yam, brussels sprouts or green beans, cranberry sauce, biscuits or rolls, and lots of gravy. Afterward, pumpkin pie. Some people like mincemeat or pecan, but pumpkin pie is the main thing.
Or something completely different, I suppose. Gawd knows what those weirdos down the block are eating.
thesavagechef literally forgot 80% of actually thanksgiving food and I was looking forward to it lol
thesavagechef it may not be Thanksgiving yet but i could go for some candied yams right about now
YES! THANK YOU! You beat me to it.
I agree with everything but pumpkin. My family does sweet potato. I’m kinda mad at this video 🙄
My grandmother always made "Pink Stuff" with cottage cheese, blended strawberry Jell-o and diced pineapples. Shit was amazing, best part of Thanksgiving.
"Except you took a carrot and made him your president!"
*oOOoOhHHh!!!!!*
😂😂😭
Thanksgiving food has always been Turkey, mashed potatoes, green beans, rolls, and all the pies. And yeah, gravy is always a thing.
Actually sad to say that at the first Thanksgiving they didn't eat turkey, they ate venison/deer meat. That's partly why Fall (including Thanksgiving) was considered deer hunting season. But the turkey is good too when it's cooked right, my thing is where was the pumpkin pie and sweet potatoes and sweet potato pie? They didn't give them really all the Thanksgiving food that is known for being Thanksgiving food, the only thing other than the turkey, cranberry sauce, and pecan pie that is typical Thanksgiving food that they had them try was the pecan pie. they didn't even do the staple pie, which is pumpkin pie.
We eat turkey for Thanksgiving because turkey is native to America, simple as that
ALL THE PIES!!!
And gravy
Not a bad effort you missed a few items that are normal around the US. Honey Baked Ham, green bean casserole, real mac & cheese, real stuffing (not that cornbread you have,) Many different cakes/pies, really good mashed potatoes, turduckens, fried/smoked turkey, giblet gravy for when your Aunt/Grandma dries out the white meat. Day after thanksgiving turkey sandwiches and just about anything else you can come up with to consume the 20lb turkey the family made.
signelengis mmmmmmm giblet gravy
signelengis gotta love day after Thanksgiving sandwiches, or as they're called in my house, the Black Friday breakfast.
signelengis turkey tetrazzini is a tradition for my family. The last meal with the turkey is boiling the carcass to make a stock, picking what you can off it to make turkey noodle soup.
Ham? who has ham on Thanksgiving? Ham is a christmas meat. And if your turkey gets dried, guess what you aren't making it right! And cornbread stuffing is delicious.
I actually think they've done green bean casserole and they're Irish so I'm sure they've had plenty of mashed potatoes, they mention them often enough in these videos.
the girl in stripes keeps complaining but keeps eating!!🤣
Everything to her is dry. And here I am sayong, "girl, you're dry."
Yea every thing was so bad, final thoughts : delicious. Like what...
Stripes girl keeps saying everything is dry while everyone else says it’s moist. 🙄 She’s dry!
she complains about real food so she can binge on ding dongs and yoo hoo in bed at night...alone
She's the worst. She on many of the Irish taste vids,and she hates on every thing...
Should do a southern thanksgiving. turkey, stuffing, deviled eggs, green bean casserole, strawberry pretzel salad, potato salad, pecan pie.
Who in the world told them Americans eat this for Thanksgiving 🤦
California
I don't know about California being to blame. Although alot of strange culinary stuff comes out of California. I tried some different things in my younger years, some good, some we don't talk about. I blame it on being in California. Must have been Governor Moonbeam's arial spraying every Wednesday evening.
People eat all of these dishes in different parts of America. If they just did the standard generic suburban American Thanksgiving it would probably be exactly what they eat for Christmas dinner so they picked dishes that are more uniquely American. In my family we have all our standard traditional things but each year we swap one of them for something new.
@@oregonian3238 No...I'm from California...here is what I was raised on Turkey, stuffing, ham, mash potatoes and gravy, dinner roles, green beans, yams, cranberries, green salad, pumpkin pie, maybe throw in sweet potato pie I have friends also who said you gotta add....greens....that is mustard and collard greens. And we also add corn on the cob but not all the time.
@Katherine McDonnell ok Katherine...
Who makes cornbread stuffing like that. Give them some southern cornbread dressing. They would love it
with giblet gravy. No dry stuff then.
@@KindCountsDeb3773 damn right, ham gravy
Crackling cornbread
Hate cornbread stuffing.

So not what we cook in the south. We would throw out that ruined pecan pie for a real one.
Where does this food come from, how far does it travel before being put on front of these unsuspecting good people?? Doesn't seem too fresh. Ugh. 🤢
@@jjc7582 I have been informed that these people are on vacation in the USA.
@@snpr7749 I do a chocolate pecan pie (2 oz of dark chocolate melted with the butter). Silky smooth finish.
@@theiran My oldest would beg for a chocolate pecan pie. Lol
It's not what we cook in the North either!!!
As a 50 year old American from the Northeast, the turkey and stuffing were the only dishes I could relate to in my 50 Thanksgiving experiences. It just goes to show how regional food can be.
Look, here in Alabama, we make fried turkey, sweet potato casserole w/ candied pecan topping, mash n' gravy, green bean casserole, cornbread dressing, strawberry shortcake, apple pie and ice cream, and pear salad.
Can I come over to your house for Thanksgiving? 🤤🤣
@@Panda8ngel haha, sure!
a homemade pecan pie is to die for I mean
Most of the food in Alabama on thanksgiving is homemade
Yassss! Alabama (the South) does holiday foods right. Heavy, sweet, salty and artery clogging 🤣🤣🤣
....this made me sad....Thanksgiving is yams, mac and cheese, stuffing, Turkey, Ham, Mash potatoes, GRAVY. HOW COULD THEY FORGET THE BACKBONE OF THIS NATION. GRAVY.
Alana Perry you forgot candied yams , green bean and bacon, green bean casserole , pie pie pie pie pie pie
Do you put marshmallows, butter and brown surgar on the yams. its So good
Alana Perry They forgot pumpkin pie. How the hell are you going to have thanksgiving without pumpkin pie?
LOL...
Alana Perry there Irish trust me they know what gravy tastes like they literally eat it with everything they eat it with fries and everything
I feel like someone not from America came up with these food ideas.
Megan Pealer for real!
@@okimawilcox1550 it's like they just searched for random recipes...
Right

Not far from the truth.
As an American I can say I’ve never eaten the majority of this on thanksgiving. Geez y’all do your research.
No pumpkin pie? What kind of Thanksgiving is this?
Malhaloc An Irish one 😃
Ikr?!
Gotta have pumpkin. Have any other pie along with, like mince or pecan or whatever, but pumpkin pie's gotta be the focus-dessert.
The right kind

channel is cool, but who picks the foods? Cant be Americans lol
Tim Holton they’re Irish...that’s the point.
@@BuBbLeBaThJaKe They're Irish who are supposed to be eating traditional American T-giving foods. That's the point.
OGSpaceCadet he said who picks the food they can’t be Americans. I’m saying it’s obviously not Americans picking the food because it’s an Irish channel...
@@BuBbLeBaThJaKe you have missed the point completely. In order to have a "traditional" American thanksgiving, they should have consulted with and American or I dont May be Google it. This is not traditional American thanksgiving dishes. They should have done more research.
Chandra Scharpf maybe traditional to you is odd to me or vice versa. What YOU eat at thanksgiving may not be the standard for the rest of the entire country. That’s what’s wrong with social media makes you think the world revolves around you
Try cooking meals that Americans actually eat. 😂
Americans DO eat Turkey, Scalloped Potatoes, Pecan Pie, Cranberries, and Stuffing. What the fuck are you talking about?
Americans eat everything they made here.
I'm an American from Savannah, GA and I think I've had scalloped potatoes maybe once in my whole life lol maybe it's not a southern thing??
bud389 yes but there is so much more: Mashed potatoes and gravy, pumpkin pie, etc
Everyone has Turkey and cranberry with normal stuffing and GRAVY. I dont have any of the other items. People are just saying there are much more popular flavorful dishes that represent America better than carrots and soup
Now that was really fun to watch. A lot of personality in those Irish! And so true, they love potatoes! 🍀😀
No pumpkin pie?!?! Blasphemy I tell you, pure blasphemy!
I think they did Pumpkin pie in their last Thanksgiving video.
It was a sad looking pie though, more like a tart.
I will let them pass this time, but pumpkin pie is my absolute favorite thing about Thanksgiving
James Bond On Thanksgiving we make 2 pies, one for the family and one for me
Pumpkin pie is best pie.
NVR guru that's the way to do it! I love pumpkin pie!!
who chooses the menu? that's not traditional thanksgiving food. that's crap
where is the real dressing? the candied yams, the mashed potatoes and gravy? even Gordon Ramsey knows American thanksgiving items.
Well it may not be your thankgiving food that your family really isn't the center of the thanksgiving world. Turkey is about the only thing that stays central to the whole thing.

O ray gano is just plain weird :P
I'm from USA, and the south, and we don't eat any of those vegetables. These people judging the food seemed nice though like they understood all of America doesn't eat food like that on thanksgiving and maybe that it was cooked badly. we have mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, sweet potatoes, sweet potato souffle, my grandma sometimes made boiled potatoes and cabbage too, corn, peas, the carrots aren't roasted at my house, turkey, baked ham, corn bread dressing, fried corn bread, and rolls. deviled eggs, cranberry sauce but barely anyone ate it. and for pies we had pumpkin pie, chocolate pecan pie, and probably a cake or 2.
THANK YOUUUU!! YOURE SO RIGHT !!
As someone from Canada this is something we have on your tables frequently
we know you dont eat vegetables in the south
huchi mama Everyone in the united states knows the south for their soul food and a lot of it is vegetables so you must live somewhere in a cave if you think southerners dont eat vegetables. we grow a large amount of the vegetables. We dont throw some carrots on a pan and toast them is what I meant
Abraham Garcia because we eat vegetables????
I know this is an older video, but this is the healthiest American Thanksgiving I've ever witnessed.
THAT was the saddest looking pecan pie. Y'all SHOULD be ashamed to serve it.
Gordon Ramsey : This is the most pathetic looking pecan pie I had the displeasure to set my eyes on. Its not pecan pie, its pecan shit.
Definitely not thick with filling like ours in the South!
I remember I acted this way when I had my first traditional cooking for thanksgiving! Growing up I had tamales and other Mexican food. Mmmm I love cranberry sauce with turkey and stuffing!!!! Yum yum yum.
I grew up eating traditional thanksgiving food, and felt the same way the first time I had tamales. Food is the greatest tool of cultural exchange.
I'm half Mexican and White and I always thought how funny it was at one grandmas house we had tamales and the other traditional dinner, ha!
Elizabeth Garcia haha :)
LOL I'm also Mexican and we had a totally traditional Thanksgiving with sweet yams and cranberry sauce and all that jazz.
We didn't bust out the Mexican food until Christmas and Easter.
Who the fuck's Thanksgiving food is this? Irish people you got robbed!!!!!
Have some of this stuff in New York and then some other stuff. Change it up every year.
TheRealGunfish NO doubt!
Exactly!
Right, carrots covered in oregano, who eats that crap? I have never even heard of such a dish whether it's Thanksgiving or not.
Hell, you should have seen the old one they did. Idk what kind of potato they were serving, but it looked like a small football with cheese......lol
Let's not push it. This was much better
The guy who picked up the whole pecan pie with his fork and is just, "Help."
Cracks me up so hard. 😆😂🤣
I feel so bad for these poor folks every single time I see the pies they ask them to taste! Those crusts look sooo horrible, whoever they are using to make them should be stopped, just stop and find another vendor/source.
JJSHTTY I feel bad every time they say they never have had or done something. They're a very deprived people.
They probably buy them online. Every time I see one of these alleged pies, I cringe.
Whoever made that pecan pie needs to be disciplined
It certainly shouldn't sound like dropping a rock! Flat too. Poor things, just ate a praline én croute.
It looks like a tart not a pie.
Severely disciplined at that.
I think shipping to Ireland must be slow. That pie looked like from last year.
Yes! It looked sad and hard as a rock!
That's the saddest looking Thanksgiving dinner I've ever seen! Also, the soup and carrots are not traditional Thanksgiving dishes, think more like green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, the most amazing macaroni and cheese you've ever had in your life, gravy on your stuffing/dressing, and like 5 different kinds of pie! It's probably one of my favorite holidays here in America, and these poor people did not get an accurate representation of true American Thanksgiving, which honestly makes me a little sad:/
M Mince casserole is sad. Stop doing that.
Sweet potato casserole/ candied yams! Yes! They should've just piled everything on one plate like everyone does. My grandma always homemakes Turkey noodles and we top our mashed potatoes with it. Though that's like carb overkill
Until they got to the turkey, I literally recognized none of that as Thanksgiving dishes. I thought for a moment they were celebrating another countries thanksgiving lol.
No pumpkin pie?? Who made this? Are you broken?
FeloniousAngel a leprechaun
They've done Pumpkin pie before. I think they were just trying to cover all other Thanksgiving foods. (though a lot of these I've never seen served specifically on Thanksgiving. They're usually winter foods)
Are you broken? I am laughing so hard right now
Northerners eat Pumpkin Pie
Southerners eat Georgia Pecan pie
Savage Savant, we always had Pumpkin Pie, Pecan Pie, and Sweet Potato Pie at our Thanksgiving dinners in Texas.
Mashed potatoes, green beans, corn, dressing, turkey, gravy, peas, yams, cranberry sauce, rolls, apple pie, and pumpkin pie. That's how you do it!
Finally! Someone noticed the lack of pumpkin pie! (preferably with a little whipped cream)

+James 86 They never know better and they don't learn any lessons. Tsk tsk
Brett If the turkey is cooked properly you can eat it without gravy. You know like brining it for 24 hrs. js
It's bad enough the turkey was a boneless breast, but no gravy is criminal!
the only gravy I eat is sausage gravy and biscuits. It's always available at our table whenever ham, beef, turkey or pork chops are cooked. but never feel the need to use it. my family thinks I'm crazy for not eating it. but I also mix my potatoes and corn together and mix that with my meat with one big bite at a time.
Just stop 💀 get someone from the comments to come cook for y'all
"Its burnt...boring bland dry.....the turkey is dry." Aunt Karen is that You?
Bahahahahahahah!
Jinxiejae. Their only dry if you overcook them and alot of the flavor is enhanced by what you inject it with and or rub on it.
Kimberly Devine-Brink that was fucking funny!
The manager is already on their way to her table...
They should have had fried turkey instead.
Sweet potatoes, NOT carrots.
Pumpking pie, NOT pecan pie.
Thanksgiving is the biggest Cooking day of the year. A lot of people put a lot of care into what they are cooking with old family recipes handed down. A lot of the foods on here looked like it came from cans and boxes. Which is fine for first timers but thanksgiving here is almost like a sport. Everything has to be timed perfectly and once you sit down to dinner, everyone is exhausted but the meal is well worth it.
I prep/cook for 2 days to get the whole production done correctly. Everything gets to the table hot and fresh and, usually, by the time that I have prepared all of it... I DON'T WANT TO EAT! But... the guests rave over how everything is the right temp, fresh and tasty so I guess I get braggin' rights even if I don't get a full stomach!
😂😂 Thanksgiving is like a sport. I've never heard truer words!
That is one of the saddest pecan pies I have ever seen.
It would have been the lonely pie that got left behind with only one slice out of it.
Oh my god I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought this!
Came to the comments just for this. Pitiful lolol
Yeah, I thought the exact same thing. That wasn't a Pecan pie, but rather the desiccated corpse of one.
Come to my home come to Louisiana and have some real pecan pie
Who planned this meal and cooked it???? I don't know anyone who serves butternut soup on Thanksgiving. Most do not have carrots or that potato casserole. It's Turkey, cornbread dressing, gravy, mash potatoes, sweet potatoes, green beans or Brussels sprouts, and most important----PUMPKIN PIE. Pecan pie is an extra desert. And that pecan pie looked terrible. I did like their reactions to the dressing :-)
Most Southerners don't eat stuffing..we eat dressing. Our turkeys are usually smoked or deepfried...can't stuff such a bird. We do love pecan pie, but that concoction did not qualify as such. And potatoes....lol..you can guarantee there will be at least half a dozen different tater dishes..everybody has "that perfect one" that only they can make and only their kids will eat...so you gotta clear off that extra bit of space to make up for it.
That Pecan pie was PATHETIC LOOKING!
You guys are awesome. Thanks
Who eats soup at thanksgiving dinner? Don’t invite me.
The only soup I've ever associated with thanksgiving is turkey soup, made from the parts left over we don't eat.
Absolutely! Although butternut squash soup IS delicious, I've never seen it served at Thanksgiving. Maybe it's a regional thing.
Proudly referred to as carcass stew in my home.

Had an Englishman stay with us for a few weeks. The first weekend we did ribeyes on the grill with corn-on-the-cob (first pick of the season!).

@@kayfeared8254 what? There's a huge difference between grain corn that's fed to livestock and sweet, yellow/white corn that people eat. They're both corn, but vastly different. Btw...grilled corn on the cob is delicious! 😉
@@BrokenInTheBox Americans... Smh
@@kayfeared8254 I understood what you meant😆🤣
@@kayfeared8254 'Americans' indeed...the best Country on the planet. Everyone loves to hate on 'Murica, but it's ok. We know that peeps from outside the U.S.A. are jealous of our freedom of speech, our right to own guns, freedom of & from religion, etc... Have a blessed day. 😉
Scalloped potatoes for Thanksgiving? Never heard such a thing!
Thats is the saddest thanksgiving
MrJordance RIGHT like, who’s house looks like this during thanksgiving!? I’m calling the police.
Yeah I would expect pumpkin pie, turkey, green bean casserole,gravy,mash potato, and a lot more but theres a pecan pie, a carrot, a potato like wow.
ahahaha thats the best comment on here
MrJordance The saddest thanksgiving would be not having a damn thing to eat. You people are so dumb.
Great Man That's nice, the statement is still stupid. I don't care how you slice it. What exactly is so sad about it? That It's missing Gravy and some other things? Sure, cool. He definitely should have worded that differently though.
Who the hell came up with these foods being represented of Thanksgiving? Butternut squash soup? Scalloped potatoes? Spiced carrots? Never ONCE in my life have I ever seen these served. Where was the gravy? Where were the mashed potatoes? Where were the green beans smothering in mushroom sauce? Where were the Parker House rolls? Where were the f**cking sweet potatoes?
...I feel like I'm the only American who can't stand sweet potatoes.
Or you are doing the reverse.
Payton Kilmer
I dislike them too. I'm the weird one in my family too
Payton - You are not. I hate them as well.
I make scalloped potatoes instead of mashed as well (my son has a thing with textures, and mashed potatoes always make him throw up). Otherwise though, I agree. I've heard of people doing honey-glazed or candied carrots for Thanksgiving, but not spiced. And who the f*** makes butternut squash soup?! The turkey/stuffing plate should've had gravy on it for sure. Both green bean casserole and sweet potato casserole should've been served.
Striped Shirt Girl probably could take a drink from a glass of water and complain that it was dry.
Yessssss 😂
I was looking for a comment on what I was thinking. She ends up saying that it was fine or delicious, but she has to firstly say that it was dry. She is not excited about one single thing.
Get read of the red head strip shirt girl , she sucks in all your films!!
Sha Fermo she is wearing 1940s makeup and hairstyle.
😂
Now imagine you have an endless amount of that delicious food that is Thanksgiving
If you wanted to give them a taste of real Thanksgiving, don't give them that tasteless upper class, crap. Give them the po folks Thanksgiving dinner. They were missing the best parts. Pumpkin pie, sweet potato pie, candied yams, real stuffing (the kind you bake separate from the turkey), ham, fried chicken/fish, collard greens, the real shit.
With pepper sauce for the greens, yum
Y'know, I've always known about them from TV and movies but I've never had collard greens (I used to think they were called "collared greens" like they had... collars? or something?). I wonder what they are like.
Yes, I am white.
Collard greens can be great or can taste bitter and awful depending on whether the cook knows what they're doing. A southern style barbecue or chicken place is your best bet to try them.
Dominic Campbell I had never had sweet potato pie until five years ago. It kills pumpkin and I really like pumpkin.
yass collar greens with ham hocks
Looks like cafeteria food at a nursing home.
Lol. I must not laugh.
😆
LOL....
As an American, I'm team pumpkin pie.
hell yeah! it's not thanksgiving without pumpkin pie
Apple pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a slice of cheddar cheese 🧀
Sides include green bean casserole, broccoli rice casserole, candied yams, maybe mashed taters, and my wife's family always served cranberry salad ( a jello concoction. It's really good)
Someone forgot to tell them about the gravy
"Our carrots are both basically the same in Ireland and America"
"YEAH EXCEPT YOU TOOK ONE AND MADE HIM PRESIDENT"
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
That made me laugh pretty hard.
So what if we Yank's carrots have huge orange balls ?
haha i also watched the video
i had to pause the video because i was laughing so hard that i was seeing stars.
Abby The Blue Trump looks worse than a carrot. He's just sanguine for no good reason.
I don't know who made the menu, but if that's getting served, I'll pass... where's the pumpkin pie, sweet potatoes (candied yams), chicken and dumplings, carved turkey breast, yeast buns, mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole?!?!?!?!
Yes!!
Alfeprii false lol
@Alfeprii I'm in MN, and this is perfectly accurate.
If any family brought spice roasted carrots on Thanksgiving, they would never receive another invitation
