Absolutely.Aside from opinion pieces on the interwebs, has anyone actually encountered a human who voiced consternation at the celebration of the holiday?
gb the gentilesWe serve both. It's a big deal since (most of) my family is Jewish and thus eschew pork in their own homes, though several enjoy it. As my wife isn't Jewish they get a pass to have the ham at our house, so people look forward to it. I stick with the turkey myself.
Did I? I made a joke about your reference to everyone having to be outraged all the time yesterday?Do you have an outrage meter? It’s not working. You did the same thing to me yesterday and I was far from outraged. Enjoy your Thanksgiving.
Back when I was a kid, we'd have thanksgiving at my great aunt and uncle's house. The spread was ridiculous from chopped liver to egg rolls. Though also Jewish, they didn't abide by any dietary restrictions - so they too had not only ham but also spare ribs. My great uncle used to manage a butcher shop so the meat was always first rate and he knew how to prepare it - his turkeys were fantastic. Part of his baste - 7up. No kidding. But the spare ribs were my favorite thing.gb the gentiles
I’m not generally very funny, but I get much funnier the more people want me to explain my bad jokes. So thank you.I didn't get that from his post.
I believe it. I use Coca Cola to bake ham and I'm sure it has a lot of the same properties. (Sugar mostly )Back when I was a kid, we'd have thanksgiving at my great aunt and uncle's house.

You'd be considered a non-Jew by most Orthodox I think. From there it varies across the Jewish sect spectrum (conservative, reformed) from pretty taboo to frowned upon but accepted, to not noteworthy. My mom's side of the family is more on the conservative Jewish side, so straddling taboo and frowned upon. My dad's side (of which the great aunt and uncle I mention above were part) didn't care.Non Jewish person question: For Jewish folks that don't abide by kosher diet, how is that seen by most?
Is it like you're kind of doing something a little out of bounds or way out of bounds or no big deal at all?
Sure, prime rib may be substituted for any traditional meat, as it is superior meat. Take the opportunity to make Yorkshire pudding too The second most misleading name in the culinary world.Prime rib ok?

My household refers to ham as “bacon steak“ around this time of year.When I was a kid, turkey was better than ham. Now I know better.

One year we went to my wife’s family’s house. Her aunt made this salmon dip- it looked good if fish dip is your thing, but as she warmed it up in the oven she kept stirring it...and stirring...and stirring, for like an hour and a half, until that salmon was beaten into a fine paste. You could no longer discern any ingredients, it was just one big warm fishy cheesy glob.I'm all for the war. Thanksgiving is my least favorite holiday. My mom insists we go there every year and she is a terrible cook. Atrocious. It makes me sad to see posts here and in the FFA with people celebrating the anticipation of fabulous meals and I look forward to turkey that has been over-cooked by about two hours to the point that it is sawdust and an array of canned/frozen vegetables as sides . And there is no TV in the vicinity of the eating table so I usually can't even watch football. And we have a two hour commute both ways.
I will join this war to make this whole holiday go away. Unless someone can convince my mother to come to my house instead and we will make an appropriate meal.
I see your fishy cheese glob and raise you canned sweet potatoes with grape nuts on top of them with a side of frozen turnips put in the microwave to "cook".One year we went to my wife’s family’s house.

Where the hell do you even find frozen turnips? Does she cut them and freeze them herself? Wtf grape nuts? You probably get that vegetable mix too- you know, with the Lima beans. Comes in a can or frozen! Cranberry sauce that is still in can shape.I see your fishy cheese glob and raise you canned sweet potatoes with grape nuts on top of them with a side of frozen turnips put in the microwave go "cook".
It's like a frozen turnip puree. I have no freaking idea where they come from and I've never seen that in a store, but admittedly have never been looking. It's like frozen mashed turnips. She sprinkles some dried parsley on top though to make it her own.Where the hell do you even find frozen turnips? Does she cut them and freeze them herself? Wtf grape nuts?

I suppose in this instance it’s ok to have ham (you should bring a ham.)
Sweetbreads being number one I presume?Sure, prime rib may be substituted for any traditional meat, as it is superior meat. Take the opportunity to make Yorkshire pudding too The second most misleading name in the culinary world.
It’s thanksgiving not a sorority party (but I’ll take a couple since you made them.)Jell-O shots ok?
#1 is clearly Rocky Mountain OystersSweetbreads being number one I presume?
Ok I think if you took like 1/2 cup of butter, grape nuts, brown sugar, pinch of nutmeg/cinnamon and it might not be bad, but just straight grape nuts is a head slapper.It's like a frozen turnip puree.

And yes grape nuts. On top of canned sweet potatoes. Put in a casserole dish and cooked in the oven. Possibly with some brown sugar or something but I don't know because I won't touch it.
And cranberry sauce in my mom's house only comes in can shapes. No concept of actually making something from real food ingredients.
My wife made a spinach gratin and crab dip that we are going to bring tomorrow. My mom will probably be pissed that we brought our own food but my wife's rationale was that we could put the spinach gratin on top of the turkey to give it some moisture and maybe make it edible.

Similar to the war on Christmas. No one said you should stop celebrating Christmas, just not say "Happy Holidays" instead. Trump was referring what he (or Fox) called "the radical left" wanting to change the name (to what I have no idea).What would a war on Thanksgiving entail? Forcing you to not eat turkey. Nothing more than red meat for a Conservative agenda. A POTUS should be above this...…
Like a land war in AsiaWars against holidays are good, and easy to win!
I have some Jewish friends that eat anything when they are out with non-jews. I am talking bacon, ham and cheese whatever.Non Jewish person question: For Jewish folks that don't abide by kosher diet, how is that seen by most?

Trump’s made-up war on Thanksgiving, explained
Before we inevitably arrive at the alleged war on Christmas this holiday season, we’ve first got to tackle the … war on Thanksgiving? Which is supposedly a thing now, too. At least according to President Donald Trump.
Conservative media and some Republicans have for years claimed that Christmas is under attack, turning some people’s decision to say “Happy Holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas” during the month of December into a culture war touchstone to try to spark outrage on the right. Trump has embraced the “war on Christmas” narrative, and now he’s taking it a step further: he’s claiming liberals are out to get Thanksgiving, too.
At a rally in Florida on Tuesday, the president confoundingly reassured supporters that he wouldn’t let the “radical left” change Thanksgiving’s name. “As we gather for Thanksgiving, you know, some people want to change the name Thanksgiving. They don’t want to use the term Thanksgiving,” Trump said. He later continued: “People have different ideas why it shouldn’t be called Thanksgiving, but everybody in this room, I know, loves the name Thanksgiving. And we’re not changing.”
It’s not clear who on the left Trump believes is trying to change the name of Thanksgiving, which is a secular American holiday. It’s true there is some cultural strife surrounding the day, including its historical weight for Native Americans and its environmental impact, but there’s not some broad push to change the name of the holiday altogether.

It’s not a bad idea to give Thanksgiving a think
For all you Thanksgiving aficionados out there, nobody’s coming to take away your turkey, your stuffing, or your cranberry sauce. (Side note: Have you seen Vox’s definitive ranking of Thanksgiving sides?) But that doesn’t mean it’s not worth considering that the holiday isn’t the same for everyone and for all communities.
For Native Americans, the holiday can be a painful one, not a time to celebrate but instead a time to remember the atrocities they suffered when Europeans landed in America, and to note that the story in many history books about the Pilgrims and Native Americans is not an accurate one.
Since 1970, some Native Americans have instead been observing the National Day of Mourning, a protest and remembrance of “the genocide of millions of Native people, the theft of Native lands, and the relentless assault on Native culture.” They gather in Plymouth, Massachusetts, on Thanksgiving each year.
”We go there every year, along with many nonindigenous allies, as well, to talk about the truth about Thanksgiving,” Mahtowin Munro, co-leader of the United American Indians of New England, which organizes the protest, told CNN.
It’s not clear whether this protest is what Trump was referencing, but if it was, it’s hardly a leftist effort to rename a holiday — rather, it’s an effort to highlight the country’s history from an underrepresented perspective.
Some environmental groups have also pushed for more conversation about the environmental impact of Thanksgiving, including the food consumed (and wasted) and travel. Again, not bad to think about, but also not an attack on Thanksgiving.
Will Trump’s claims of a war on Thanksgivings have legs? It’s hard to tell, but given the Christmas season basically starts now, he, Fox News, and the rest of the culture war-stoking conservative media are likely to turn to Christmas instead. At least we now have the tweets and memes.
Agreed.I think this is a pretty good example of where we are and why.
Acknowledging some people don't like the name Thanksgiving or have questions about celebrating is somehow turned into saying those people have declared "war on Thanksgiving". Which isn't what they said at all. But why let facts get in the way of a good mob?
I disagree with your political takes but love your take on turkey!Brine it overnight with onions, celery and oranges and then cook with butter, onions and orange in the cavity with champagne. Best turkey I’ve made.
I think most are aware of that, to be honest, but let's face it, in today's climate, pretty much anything that is a thing has a fair number of folks who are uncomfortable with it.2,500 likes on the "This is Stolen Land" Pumpkin Pie
I continue to be surprised by how many people seem surprised this is a thing. And to be clear, it's not any "war on Thanksgiving". Nobody said that. But to be unaware there are a fair number of folks uncomfortable with Thanksgiving seems odd.
I have to disagree. Most don't seem to be aware this is a thing. And it's not some fringe thing. I asked my 21 year old son about this and he said absolutely it was not uncommon, especially for people his age.I think most are aware of that, to be honest, but let's face it, in today's climate, pretty much anything that is a thing has a fair number of folks who are uncomfortable with it.
