A random Thanksgiving type question, on account of this popped up as a point of contention during the holiday.
Do you eat your turkey with cranberry sauce on Thanksgiving? If so, which do you want on the table?
a) the jellied kind that retains the shape of the can
b) the fancier but still comes in a can with berries and stuff
c) homemade
Now, I know this makes me a culinary heathen...but, for me it's gotta be a. Gotta be. On any other day of the year I would balk at a can shaped jelly thing staring at me. But on Thanksgiving, I don't actually care which would taste better because TRADITION. It's just not T-day unless I can identify the ridges of the can in my cranberry sauce.
See also: sweet potato casserole MUST have marshmallows on it (and I already know some of you are grossed out by that, just know that I am judging you right back)
Alternately, what food traditions are must haves at your holiday table (any holiday at all if Thanksgiving is not applicable to you)?
Also, also. I made PIE. It was really good. No, really...please do not judge my pie by my cranberry sauce and marshmallow preferences. This was an objectively tasty pie.
