Don’t call it Friendsgiving, and don’t bring Tofurkey.

“If someone really brought this to Friendsgiving, I’d ask them to leave,” Chang said of the jellied tomato.

Chang’s a good guy to stay away from.

I thought any kind of people-gathering in SF was verboten.

Somebody call the mask-denier Hotline...1-800-UWEARIT.

“The Gallery of Regrettable Foods” by James Lileks. One of the funniest tributes to 50’s and 60’s recipes ever.

While it has little to do specifically with American Thanksgiving, I was hooked by the BBC series, "Supersizers Go...," and the follow on, "Supersizers Eat..."

Both examine the culinary history and traditions of a period of British history ranging from Roman times up to present. Fascinating information presented in a very entertaining package, all available on YouTube.

tastes change over time, for various reasons.

I remember watching ‘Romancing the Stone’ when it came out. Everyone thought it as funny as all get out.

Now, most will watch for 10 minutes, max, before switching to something else.

Canned String beans in can of mushroom soup with canned fried onions on top. My in-laws also cooked loved that one. I’m more of a fresh stringbeans almondine person.

My in-laws still serve ambrosia salad. With the cool whip.

Grandma made mincemeat pie with actual meat.

If someone called to invite me to “Friendsgiving,” I’d hang up on them.

You like old recipes? Here are thousands of them.

Oh, God! I remember those wretched jello molds - green jello with tuna, sliced eggs, black olives...there was a tomato one too that was almost as bad.

I think I was forced to eat that as a small child once or twice.

Why I won't eat jello to this day.

Whoever thought this was a good idea, let alone "food" or even appetizing?

[Bon of Babble]

I almost lost my breakfast looking at that!

Horrible and wretched are the only two words to describe it - not edible, not at all...

I love seeing horrible recipes—it would make a heck of a coffee table book, with painfully clear pictures; my favorite in this category was shared by my minister, who dreaded every pot luck event at her previous church; one parishioner ALWAYS brought her signature dish—onion Jell-O.

It just makes me laugh. Saying it, and thinking of her dreading it all those years—knowing it was coming, like grim death, and having to practice that Christian straight face...

What about heritage breeds of turkeys? Oh, you meant they 1950s, not the 1850s.
