Answer 1

as a kid I remember my mothers table. turkey,stuffing not cornbread stuffing, string bean casserole, sweet potatoes,relish tray with olives,black and green, all kinds of pickles, and cocktail onions. rolls and butter,and of course mashed potatoes,hers were the best ever. then we always had pumpkin pies, pecan pies, and apple pies with ice cream to go on top. Dinner was about 1pm and she always had about a 30 lb. turkey and then we would play card games or watch tv and around 7pm mom would set out sliced turkey, rolls lettuce,tomatoes and the relish tray and chips and everyone would have sandwiches and cider and if they wanted to,she would heat up the stuffinf and we would laugh a lot and I miss those days terribly,parents have been gone for almost 20 yrs.I have no idea how much it cost,I was too young to be involved in that.

Answer 2

Have no idea of the cost, but my mother made our complete meal from scratch. She would cook a chicken and pull the meat off the bones and use that and the liver for the dressing, also made from cornbread she had made a day earlier. There would be a turkey and ham. Homemade potato salad, green beans she had saved from the garden in the glass jars. Macaroni and cheese again from scratch. Giblet gravy, biscuits. Banana pudding southern style. We did have cakes and pies from the bakery.

I cant remember it all but my sister and I were kitchen help and we started several days early to have a good homemade dinner.

Answer 3

Oh honey, we still have one every year! When I was small, there were just six of us. Daddy and my uncle would hunt all morning and come in with their "catch" and then we'd have dinner. Most of the food was home grown. My grandmother never had turkey. We'd have a big hen, dressing, creamed potatoes, pumpkin pie and all the trimmings. Then when my aunt took over the cooking, there was always a big turkey. Now I've turned most of the cooking over to my daughter (and wow! can she cook!). My daughter, her mother-in-law and I are already planning this year's feast. There are dozens of us now and there'll be turkey, ham, and several dishes native to my son-in-law's Phillipine heritage. I'm the oldest now (66) so I always ask the blessing and then we'll have a full day of love, laughter, and food, food, food! It's everyone's favorite holiday. What joy!

Answer 4

I remember those Thanksgiving dinners when all the family would get together. Not sure of the cost, but there was always plenty of food, no matter how many folks stopped by. We had turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, corn, green beans, salad, deviled eggs, biscuits/rolls, German chocolate cake and pumpkin pie with dream whip.

Answer 5

If you meant dinner, I sure do. I recreate that tradition every thanksgiving day, whether I'm having company or not. I even cook my own pumpkin for the best pies in the world. I spring for a fresh turkey so that ups the price but that's it's one of the few times of the year I'll never cut back on.

Answer 6

We're Yankees transplanted to the South, so our dinner is now a huge mix of both favorites when we all get together at my son's house. Northern traditions:roast turkey, baked sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, mashed rutabagas, green bean casserole, corn, sausage and apple dressing, gravy, ambrosia, cranberry relish, corn relish, black olives and pickles and stuffed celery ,dinner rolls...and of course apple, pecan and mincemeat pies. From my Southern daughter-in-law's side: fried turkey, ham, corn bread stuffing, giblet gravy, macaroni and cheese, sweet potato casserole, and then various sweets. Beverages are everything from sweet tea, beer, wine and soda.

Answer 7

I cook one every year. I make great chicken and dressing. We don't have stuffing in the south we have ''dressing'' Always a turkey, green beans, corn on the cobb, mashed potatoes and gravy, cooked turnips, peas and or beans of some kind, deviled eggs, cranberry sauce, rolls and about 3 different kinds of dessert.

Answer 8

Our family still gets together for Thanksgiving, or at least as many as can come. We have turkey, dressing, fruit salad, salads, mashed and sweet potatoes, giblet gravy, pies.
To feed our crew costs between $150.00 and $200.00. It depends on a few things. Sometimes we order a smoked turkey, which costs more than buying a turkey and roasting it ourselves. Sometimes we buy the desserts.
It just depends on what your family likes, and how many you're cooking for.

Answer 9

Yes, I do. Lots of family there, Turkey, dressing, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, deviled eggs, gravy, biscuits, corn, green beans, custard pie, butterscotch pie, yellow cake with no frosting, yumm. Best of all was the family being together and the laughter, no price tag on that. Oh yes, cooked apples, and pumpkin pie. homemade jelly and jam and a blackberry cobbler from home canned blackberries.

Answer 10

The best part about thanksgiving is making your own traditions. But if you want a "traditional" dinner then Turkey, stuffing, corn on the cob, cranberry sauce, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, and if you're anything like my family wine. We're not drunks, we just like wine at special occasions.
