5. Smashed taters has to be among someone's top 4

I always look forward to making a divot at the top of my heap of smashed taters and filling it with a ladle of giblet gravy.

I know this won’t make the top 4 in the end, but I like oyster dressing (stuffing), but it must not be very popular. At least it isn’t in my family.

8. Thank you EYESORE 9001 . Make a little bit of the oyster dressing for yourself and enjoy.

21. my mother made scalloped oysters for Thanksgiving and Christmas every year

I like the taste of oysters but hate the texture. I would pick out the oysters and give them to my sister and just eat the scalloped part.

Back when I lived in Boston, I took a dish of scalloped oysters to a Thanksgiving potluck. One of the other guests was asking everyone who brought the oysters; he was from South Carolina and it was a family tradition for him.

23. because we were landlocked the oysters were always canned

Anyway, she drained the oysters and put them in a buttered baking dish, crumbled up a ton of crackers and layered them on top, then combined the liquid from the can with cream and poured it all over the top. Dotted it with butter and baked it til it was bubbly. I used to pick out the goo and give the oysters to my sister.

I loved the taste but not the texture.

25. Turkey, bread & sage stuffing, gravy, if at one cousin's their chocolate chips!😄

If at home then mashed potatoes, or maybe on occasion (yum!) potatoes au gratin.

A memory popping up. I think my mom made this for Thanksgiving, definitely for Christmas.

Greek meat stuffing. Ground beef, onions, butrer, garlic, raisins, and chestnuts(!), which made it unique for me, and maaaybe another ingredient, or two. I remember my mom making the "X" cut on the chestnut shells before baking.

The usual version actually has rice in it, but my mom didn't add that. However my sis's very long time friend whom I once got invited over for the holidays; his mom was Greek-American, and she added the rice.

It was a very tasty stuffing!

[debm55]

28. Turkey, stuffing, gravy, pecan pie.

My sister makes the best carmel pecan pie - it is to die for!!!

You only asked for 4, but mashed potatoes and sweet potato casserole are also required as well as something green.

I love our big Thanksgiving dinners, even now that we have dwindled down to 6 people. We just cut down on the meats, we used to have 2 turkeys - 1 regular and 1 Cajun and a Honey Baked Ham. This year we will cut out the Cajun Turkey and get a smaller regular turkey and try to find a generic spiral cut ham. Honey Baked Ham went up so much in their prices, it's $100 for a 10 lb ham there this year - not paying that amount!!

[debm55]

34. Thank you lark. That reminds me of the Thanksgiving large dinners at my Grandmother's house. Grandparents, 6 kids and at

3 grandkids from each of the 6 kids. Packed house. Enjoy your day.

33. The Four Biggies

Smashed Potatoes, Gravy, Sweet Potatoes, Cranberry Sauce.
The meat can be Turkey (preferred), Ham (just as tasty as turkey), or whatever protein the cook wants to feed me.
Several different kinds of Pie are also acceptable.
Just make sure to have the First Four. They are what make the Thanksgiving meal Special.

35. Thank you very much beemerphill. And for sharing your dinner. Enjoy.
