      I was brought up by two parents who spent years in commercial kitchens. The hidden option C is "set the family to do whatever prep they're capable of while you play the role of head chef". But like, a head chef that's so understanding and nice that they'd be actively choosing their restaurant money, since otherwise you make the kids cry.
      This also has the benefit of teaching the kids how to cook, and they slowly get to the point where you can trust them to do entire dishes themselves. Sure, a 13 year old is gonna be slower, but if they've put in the practice they can manage.

    I made the chorizo stuffing and everyone lost their minds. It was a freaking BANGER! Thanks Josh!!!
    Couple of thoughts
    My Guillo pepper didn’t turn into a sauce so I blended it, strained it and then let it reduce. You definitely have to tell people it’s supposed to have a burnt look because it definitely turned people off at first.
    I made a avacado line sauce for it
    1/4 cup red onions
    1/2 bunch of cilantro
    1 avocado
    1-1/2 cups of sour cream
    1 juice from a lime
    Salt to taste
    Pinch of paprika.

    as someone who used to love complex, aka complicated, dishes and recipes, i've since learned that there is so much to be said for simpler, less complicated recipes so that you can actually taste not only all of the individual ingredients, but the main food in the dish as well. when you know good techniques and know how to marry and match ingredients properly, a little goes a long way. something that really stood out was that you add so many things to the sweet potatoes, you can no longer taste the simplicity of the sweet potato, but many things on top of sweet potatoes instead of the sweet potato first. i learned to appreciate this in learning how to properly drink freshly made tea without adding anything to the tea - and i don't mean lipton. it really opens up the taste buds and makes one realize just how much masking of food and drink people do in order to make their food and drink "tasty" when the best flavors are already there. where people go wrong is thinking they need lots of salt, fats, sugars, etc to make food and drinks taste good when all it really takes is just a pinch for proper flavoring. people sometimes use way to much of these things. you also don't need that much honey and butter to significantly change the flavor of the cornbread.

    • @jayzonedc6474
      @jayzonedc6474 Před 4 měsíci +1

      That's all well and good, but sweet potatoes don't taste amazing by themselves, and the idea of adding marshmallows, "the traditional way", is horrendous and the opposite of keeping things simple. I think the idea of countering the sweetness of the sweet potatoes with some spice is a good way of making a balanced dish and better than just adding more sugar to food that is already overly sweet.
      Some things are good to keep simple, roasted potatoes for instance, but some foods need to be made more complicated to make them more palatable. You wouldn't just eat chilis by themselves, for instance, since they are usually too spicy and not a balanced taste profile. Sweet potatoes aren't a balanced taste either and need fat, salt, spice to make them not taste terrible.

    Part of what makes thanksgiving meals and the holiday itself appealing to many people IS the “monotony” - or dare I say - familiarity of dishes and recipes that are passed down and used in families year after year, generation to generation. My great aunt used to make split pea soup for my father who loved it so now I make it for him and our family and they love it. I personally don’t like it very much but it’s the nostalgia that is what our family comes back for. Not a flashy new way to deep fry a turkey. That is not to say I don’t try a new recipe over the years but it certainly is the familiarity that brings families together that we find comforting.

    All of these "but better" recipes sound absolutely divine and I would totally love every one of them at my Thanksgiving dinner. The thing is, when you are surrounded by family that insist on cornbread dressing, sweet potato casserole with marshmallow topping and green bean casserole made "Like Grandma used to make it - with canned green beans and canned mushroom soup" - and refuse to touch any variant of the traditional food - what can you do? I remember the Thanksgiving years ago when I made the cranberry sauce just like you did (with the exact same spices and orange juice, the whole 9 yards) and the family retribution was swift and terrible. I guess i should have used an empty can as a mold and refrigerated it a bit until it held the shape of the got-dang can and then presented it on the table like that! LOL!

      In that case, it's maybe better to bring an actual wild card dish--something that abides by the comforting and rich spirit of Thanksgiving but doesn't exactly resemble a traditional dish. That way it's a fun extra rather than an (unjustified) "disappointment."

    The one thing that a lot of chefs, ahem, forget is that tradition is quite important to many for Thanksgiving, which means taking those "crazy" alternatives will actually go sideways and not be appreciated at all. I'm someone who prefers side dishes to the turkey every time, but seeing a lot of these dishes would make me basically say "ok I guess I'm doing protein only tonight", e.g. I love Mexican food but I wouldn't touch that stuffing with a 10 foot pole on Thanksgiving. I'm not saying it's bad, I'm just saying sometimes you want certain flavors at certain times, sometimes you just want vanilla ice cream and not a "high end chef" reimagining of it.
