1. Spaetzle- German noodles made from basically a large

garlic press. Love those squiggly things, drenched in butter of course.

And if you didn’t have arm muscles before, you will after making this.

2. Thank you very much Tadpole Raisin. Enjoy eating them with your meal

3. My mom was Ojibwe so we always had dried corn.

It dries on the cob darker and has an amazing, almost nutty flavor once it's cooked.

4. Thank you very much catbyte. Enjoy. It sounds delicious.

7. My ancestors came here so long ago that none of their respective 'old country' dishes or traditions lasted

I don’t have any forebears who settled in New England, so the pilgrim stuff is right out for me. I guess I could include a jar of lutefisk as a side dish to acknowledge my Nordic forebears or haggis for Scottish ancestors, but these dishes definitely didn’t get passed down through generations in this country.

10. Your right about that. Thank you EYESORE 9001

12. Lefse, from my husband's side.

14. Colcannon

from my Irish grandma. It is mashed potatoes with sautéed greens and scallions stirred into them with a lot of butter. My grandma would say, big knobs of butter. Use any kind of greens available: kale, mustard, dark outer leaves of cabbage, chard. Great idea for a post, Deb! Happy Thanksgiving DU Family!😊

16. The Colcannon. sounds very good. Thank you for your kind words, KitFox. And a happy Thanksgiving to you too.

Ukranian recipe book for the food fair . I will look for it and if I find I will print it out. I am very sorry Firefighter Jo. I'll try.

[debm55]

21. Thank you Ziggyymom. I never had sweet potatoes. that sounds good. I learned to make latkes with no recipe from my baba

[Ziggysmom]

22. LOL when I make my Bubbie's recipe brisket and latkes my husband practically ends up

in a food coma

I may make a noodle Kugel on Thanksgiving. That is one of my favorite naughty, high carb recipes saved for special occasions.
