Rebel may have a cute avatar, but he's VERY wrong on a few points. No pinto beans & slaw. No PRUNE (???) cake/pie. You need sweet tatos/yams with brown sugar on top and pumpkin pie.
[you are very sweet to think about treating her like this]
Buffy dear, I'll forgive you what with you being a yankee and all. You serve cole slaw every dang chance you get. I eat cole slaw on my hotdogs - mustard, onions, and cole slaw makes a perfect hotdog. Cole slaw is good on a pulled pork sandwich too. Pinto beans, cole slaw, cornbread and fried potatoes, aka a poor man's supper, is one of my favorite comfort meals. MEALS, not foods; I need lots of comfort.
I don't do prune cake. For me, cakes are for birthdays. Thanksgiving is all about the pies - pecan, sweet potato pie, and cobbler, preferably blackberry.
Corn pudding, greasy beans (was so glad when I find out my DH hates green bean casserole), yeast rolls, mashed taters and gravy. This past year we included fried okra and everyone loved it. If the kids are with us, I fry cabbage.
I agree though it depends on what region of the country you're from.
I lived in Tx for 7 years and I remember the cole slaw thing. They do serve it with everything. That and SWEET iced tea. Ordered iced tea at a Popeyes and it came with so much sugar I had to poor it out. I love dirty rice.
Rebel, your family would probably lynch me but it sounds like you all put on a good meal.
