- No honey on the ham.
- No brown sugar on the ham.
- No cranberry sauce must touch the turkey. (see pictures)
- Absolutely do not let the cranberry sauce get mixed in with the stuffing.
- Don't let the cranberry sauce...you know what, just get a separate plate for the cranberry sauce.
- Yams and sweet potatoes should be considered a dessert and therefore not allowed on the same plate as the other meats and vegtables.
- Especially follow #6 if there are marshmellows on top of the sweet potatoes.
- Don't fruit the stuffing. No apples, no raisins, no fruit in the stuffing. Ever.
- Saw a recipe for Maple Dill Carrots. Don't make that.
- No syrup in the green bean bundles.
- Pineapples do not go on the ham.
- Cinnamon apples belong on the dessert plate.
- Baste the turkey with butter, olive oil, or its own broth. Not maple syrup or any other fruit juice.
- Use dill relish in the deviled eggs instead of sweet relish.
In the spirit of the holiday I will allow all you sweet meat lovers to poison my blog with all your sweet meat, or sweet and savory, violations. Please leave a comment telling me about your favorite infraction so that I may verbally abuse you. Happy Thanksgiving!
