[THON] Wanted: Your Non-Standard Thanksgiving Dishes
1In the @jouest household, all of Thanksgiving is an elaborate pretext for Leftover Thanksgiving Egg Rolls the next day.
Chop everything up, roll it in egg roll wrappers, and fry. Dip in cranberry sauce as you eat. You’re welcome.
Anyway, what’s at YOUR table on (or around) Thanksgiving that you won’t find in a Normal Rockwell painting?

/showme a Norman Rockwell painting of Thanksgiving dinner except instead of a turkey there’s a reusable yellow grocery bag with “IRK” written on the side and random retail items inside.
I rarely celebrate thanksgiving but on the off years that I attend a Friendsgiving I usually make bacon wrapped jalapeño poppers.
I’m also a big fan of pig pickin’ cakes.
@kittykat9180
I love jalapeno poppers and bacon elevates anything!
But, what the heck are pig pickin’ cakes? 
@jouest Thanks for the hint on your thanksgiving leftover egg rolls. I know that would be delicious because we’ve been doing something similar. My guy was having trouble eating anything hard or chewy. He took a grilled steak along with peas, corn and a couple other things and put it in the blender. He took the mush and made it into a wrap, we don’t fry. We used just a tiny bit of A1 steak sauce to dip and it was out of this world delicious! 🫛
Also, It reminds me of the concoctions I used to make when my jaw was wired shut for months! The blender was my best friend! Lol
Our non standard thanksgiving dishes ARE standard for us!
Syrian meat pies and chicken rice which is actually rice with ground beef, there’s NO chicken in it at all! It is actually a stuffing that my Lebanese grandmother always made but it wasn’t ever inside the bird. We still eat that at least once a month. Stuffed squash and grape leaves are also dishes that we’ll have on the table along with plain yogurt. Plain yogurt goes on just about everything I eat! 
Hummus and syrian bread makes the appetizer list always! I’m getting hungry just thinking about it, my stomach is actually rumbling! Lol
