There are so many different holiday traditional foods out there. These are a few that aren’t super out of the ordinary but for whatever reason I haven’t tried them yet.
Turducken- a deboned chicken stuffed into a deboned duck, further stuffed into a deboned turkey.
Every food travel host tries one of these at least once in
their lives. I’m not crazy about turkey but I am interested in how all these
flavors go together. I like chicken, haven’t had a lot of duck but I’m open to
trying more of it. Is this something you eat with gravy? The breast version
seems to be cheaper but spending about $50 for a turducken breast roll seems
high. The full version ranges from $100-$150. There are different versions of
this that also look interesting. The price though is a major downside for me.
Especially when prime rib and lamb chops exist and I already know I like them.
I would like to try this one day, maybe if I get sponsorship or some product
to review.
Green Bean Casserole-
Do people really eat this or is it an older tradition that is
just thought about during the holiday season? I see pictures of it online, hear
about it but I have never been to anyone’s house and had some. I rarely have
green beans at a holiday event. Usually, it’s greens with ham hock usually. The
concept doesn’t seem bad, although a homemade version instead of cans of bland
creamy soup would probably be much better. The crispy onions are the most
interesting item in this whole dish.
Sweet Potato Casserole-
I have never understood this as an aside. It just seems like a
lot of sugar which id rather have in a dessert. Why don’t sweet potato pies
have marshmallows as a topping? I feel like that makes way more sense. However,
I am a person who isn’t a fan of sweet and savory for dinner. I have never
tried the casserole because it just doesn’t appeal to me (I do enjoy roasted
marshmallows a lot, I could care less about the potato though) and I don’t want
to be wasteful. I would rather just have regular mashed potatoes.
I've heard about turducken from a coworker last year and every time I think of it, it makes me laugh! My family does a sweet potato pie and it's really good but you're right, really sweet so it can only be eaten once a year! Great post :)
