Traditions: Don’t mess with the turkey or pumpkin pie
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I had the good fortune to test the recipes for chef Kevin Rathbun’s Thanksgiving dinner dare. I have to say, each and every dish was delicious and one I could eat over and over again.
But for my family and me, no matter how tasty, the idea of serving an autumnal turkey stew as my Thanksgiving main course is, simply put, not an option. When it comes to that holiday, there needs to be a big stuffed bird sitting right in the middle of the table. My sides might change from year to year. I’m even willing to add an unexpected twist, like his spicy brussels sprouts or even those sweet potato tamales. But don’t touch my turkey or pumpkin pie.
I know some families aren’t turkey lovers and substitute another roast of some kind, but a stew? As Dr. Seuss might ask, would you, could you, serve a stew to your holiday guests?
