    How Picky are YOU on Thanksgiving?

    Not very. I'm willing to eat most of the things
    listed (who made the list? I mean, chitlins?) except
    maybe the veggies and some of the sweets, the first
    because I don't care for veggies, and the sweets
    because I'm careful where I get my calories these days.

    Turkey? NOOOOO
    I live for turkey, in particular the skin, of which I
    often make most of my meal. and the thighs. White meat
    not so much.

    Ham? YESSSS!!!!!!
    Only in small quantities (I have always been careful
    of my sodium) and then I eat mostly the fat.

    Dressing? YES
    If there's protein in with it - giblets, sausage,
    or whatever.

    Mashed potatoes? Yes
    Okay, but only with the following.

    Gravy? YES
    To quote you, Yessss!

    Corn? YES
    On or off the cob, yes.

    Mac and cheese? Sure, why not. Not traditional, but still good.
    I've seen this on more than enough Thanksgiving
    tables to make it seem traditional. Also creamed
    onions with Cheddar.

    Green bean casserole? A MUST
    I tolerate its presence. Might have a taste out
    of politeness' sake.

    Veggies? ^^^^
    I tolerate their presence.

    Pumpkin pie? Yessssss
    I tolerate its presence. Might have a taste.

    Sweet potatoe pie? Noooo
    I tolerate its presence. Might have a taste.

    Rolls? Yes
    I tolerate their presence. Would not eat.

    Cake? Absolutely
    I tolerate its presence. Woule taste if chocolate.

    Cranberry sauce? NO
    Yes.

    Butter beans? Noooooo
    Maybe.

    Deviled eggs? GAG!
    Maybe.

    Chitterlings?Noooooooooooooooo
    Whose idea was this? If on the table, I'd eat some.

    Yams? Nooooo
    If not candied or with marshmallows, maybe.

    Pecan pie? Sure
    Sure.

    Fudge pie? Never heard of this
    Sure.

    Potato salad? yuck
    A taste out of politeness. If German potato salad,
    two tastes out of politeness.

    Banana pudding? Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
    Maybe.

    Sweet Potato Casserole? No
    Not if too sweet.

    Hashbrown Casserole: YES
    Not if too salty.

    Apple Pie: YES
    Maybe. Someone just taught me this jingle:
    Apple pie without the cheese
    Is like a hug without the squeeze.

    Cherry Pie: YES
    Probably wouldn't eat much of it.
