Notes:  
1: That or mashed potatoes, but mashed potatoes aren’t _specifically_ associated with Thanksgiving  
4: Rather a general answer, I’ll admit, but it pretty much covers the bases  
6: Influenced by this past Sunday’s _Fox Trot_  
10: Judging from a recent poll here. But it’s close.

11. Actually, I don’t remember sitting at a children’s table at Thanksgiving. We always went to my dad’s mother’s house, and the table was large enough for everybody, although the piano bench was needed as a seat for a couple of diners.

12. Their former home, the Silverdome, was just sold for $583,000 at auction.

13. Good homemade is the best, but so many people have bad recipes or screw good ones up that canned is generally a safer choice.

Happy Thanksgiving to all Feuders!

11. Really, honestly, we’ve eaten it all up before we got sick of it, every year

12. Ha. The first year I was married my husband and I went “home” for T-day, and we and all my cousins got put at the kids’ table, as at that point there were no actual kids.

13. While I don’t actually _lose_ weight over the holidays, I don’t generally gain any, either. Don’t hate me.

comments  
8 - unless it’s a trick question and they’re not playing on Thursday . . . .  
10 - but only the kind with the whole berries. The jellied stuff is just a little too retro for me

I take that back - last year’s TG feud was similar but these are all new questions

I’m guessing those who picked that are fans of The Soup . . .

I just like say Turkey tetrazzini. It just rolls of your tongue, I don’t think I have ever eaten it or know what is in itt.

Looks like no one is picking the Lions to win tomorrow.

IIRC, I was the author of last years T-day feud. W/o looking I think these questions are better. I think I ignored the parades and went into Black Friday.

Everyone have a great tomorrow…and no fighting!! but feuding is OK!!
