A Thanksgiving List
- Favorite Thanksgiving Food
Whole ripe olives. I refuse to buy them for myself so that they remain a special treat found usually at Thanksgiving or other big meals. - Favorite Thanksgiving Memory
Leon Lett fucking up the game in the snow against Miami. That was glorious (especially after having just completed a 6 hour shift working a buffet). - Least Favorite Thanksgiving Food
Sweet potatos or yams. Awful, foul, evil stuff. - Least Favorite Thanksgiving Memory
Probably this.
Posted By Andrea Harris on Nov 24th, 2004 at 4:34pm A friend accidently bought potato chips made from sweet potatos. Nearly caused an upchuck. Posted By fad on Nov 24th, 2004 at 4:51pm I'll say loudly and proudly that I hate yams...always have, always will. Pumpkin too. In fact in preparing the t-day dinner, I bought myself an apple pie whilst the hubby made the pumpkin. And I'll be eating a fresh green salad while they eat yams. Yech!!!

Wow. You might be the only other person in America that will admit hating the sweet potato/yam abomination besides me. When I was a kid my parents were sure these orange lumps from hell were good for me and we had them at least once a week. I used to cover them with cinnamon in a desperate yet unsuccessful attempt to render them palatable. As well, my parents were food tyrants who insisted I at least eat one bite before shoving the mess into the garbage. I tell you I had almost as hard a life as a starving African child, only I guess you could say it was from the other side of the food spectrum.
On the other hand, I have had sweet potato fries (not from canned, but real sweet potatoes fried like regular fries) and they were not bad.
