Turkey is the centerpiece of most families' tables, but there's a lot more to Thanksgiving than this tasty fowl. You need side dishes and plenty of them. Stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn and rolls are as much a part of Turkey Day as the bird itself. However, there are some sides that are memorable in a not-so-good way. They're the dishes no one touches and the leftovers no guest wants to take home.

10: Candied Sweet Potatoes

蜜饯地瓜是不健康的感恩节菜的完美例子。地瓜本身对您有好处。它们充满了维生素A和β-胡萝卜素,还有一些维生素C。But when you mash them up, add butter, brown sugar andmarshmallows, you might as well kiss any health benefits goodbye.

另外,有些人发现它们没有吸引力,我们将其归咎于棉花糖层。融化,粘糊糊,粘稠的棉花糖像水泥一样覆盖了盘子,而不是以良好的方式类型的方式。棉花糖和红薯之间的甜味融合层可能令人作呕,尤其是在降低了大量的火鸡和其他更好的侧面之后(就像此名单上没有的任何东西一样)。

9: Ambrosia Salad

If you want the offerings on your Thanksgiving table to be heavenly, lay off the ambrosia salad. Known as the "food of the gods," this fruit salad started appearing in cookbooks in the late 1800s. Originally, ambrosia was made from oranges, sugar and coconut; however, as time passed, the recipe devolved into a dish that isn't fit for any of your Thanksgiving guests, much less a deity.

今天的Ambrosia版本仍然包含橙色和椰子,但通常还包括marshmallows蛋黄酱or sour cream, and sometimes even whipped topping or gelatin. That's right. Fruit and mayonnaise. Together. This combination isn't nearly as successful as turkey and stuffing or mashed potatoes and gravy and should just be forgotten.

8:萝卜

In the 17th century, turnips were part of both colonists and Native Americans' regular diet, and it's likely this root vegetable held an important place at the first Thanksgiving table. But that doesn't mean you need to reserve a space for it at yours.

朝圣者可能已经吃了萝卜,但是我们为什么要呢?面对现实吧;萝卜可能是一种棘手的蔬菜。如果它们甚至一两天过了,那么您将在蔬菜上吃饭,蔬菜味道更像是一块木头,而不是开胃的假期。除非您要获得真实的殖民感恩节 - 如果您是,请记住晚餐不包括糖 - 将此留在桌子上。

关于萝卜的另一件事:感恩节不仅是实际的餐剩菜。您是否听说过有人对剩余萝卜的前景感到兴奋?我们也没有。

7: Green Bean Casserole

我们将育有菜:绿豆砂锅易于制作。只需拿起绿豆罐头,然后与蘑菇汤,黑胡椒和炒洋葱混合,然后烘烤。

这是一种很难混乱的食物,这是自1955年在坎贝尔的汤公司厨房中创建以来,这种食谱一直是主食。为美联社提供了绿豆砂锅,很快就成为坎贝尔最受欢迎的食谱,它是坎贝尔的最受欢迎的食谱,它的食谱是今天有些人今天购买蘑菇汤的唯一原因。

不过,我们中的许多人宁愿在感恩节上没有它。毕竟,并不是每个人都欣赏绿豆和蘑菇汤的结合,尤其是在厨师使用的情况下豆类罐头,这使整个砂锅具有明显的味道。再加上一些灰色的汤,世界上所有的炒洋葱都无法弥补这道菜的不可或缺的外观。

6:蔓越莓

除了火鸡, nothing may signify Thanksgiving more than cranberries. We tend to consume these little fruits in everything from breads to sauces on Turkey Day, but how many of us look forward to eating them? We grew up enduring cranberries on Thanksgiving, as did our parents, so many of us feel obligated to bring them out each November.

但是,被判供应食物并不是将其包括在菜单中的最佳理由。蔓越莓是酸的,它们并不总是与典型的感恩节传播中的甜味和咸味味道良好。您决定制作哪种类型的蔓越莓混合物,无论是蔓越莓橙色沙拉,蔓越莓辣根味还是简单地打开一罐果冻的果冻蔓越莓酱并将其倒在盘子上,如果您会感到惊讶,如果您感到惊讶晚餐结束后,大部分时间都剩下。因此,通过从假日桌子上弄清此配菜,在冰箱中节省一些时间,麻烦和急需的空间。

5:甜菜

甜菜是另一种根蔬菜,在许多感恩节桌上是流行的配菜,但在感恩节上并不多。他们可以准备多种方法:普通,cooked,腌制或糖粉,但无论您如何切成薄片,我们大多数人都无法克服他们的气味就可以真正吃掉它们。另外,甜菜的红色颜料还染色与之接触的任何东西,包括纸巾,切割板,水槽和皮肤。除非您喜欢擦洗小孩以顽固的深红色痕迹,否则您可能需要在感恩节晚餐中重新考虑为这种臭红色的素食服务。

4:牡蛎敷料

No Thanksgiving table is complete without dressing. It's basically the same as stuffing, as it's a casserole of bread cubes, celery and herbs. In different regions of the country, however, it also contains other ingredients such as sausage, mushrooms or oysters. That's right -- oysters.

这听起来对某些人来说可能是牺牲品的,但是一种基于海鲜的面包菜的概念,该菜肴旨在伴随家禽的味道无效。牡蛎敷料还依赖于使用新鲜的海鲜,如果您使用牡蛎罐头,您最终会制作出禽类的肮脏伴奏。

3: Adulterated Corn

在朝圣者的时代,玉米是另一个美国原住民的主食,因此,新世界的食物使您的感恩节餐桌更加适当,这是合适的。好的感恩节玉米的关键是使其尽可能自然,并像殖民者一样享受它。

这意味着没有玉米布丁,没有玉米焙盘和above all, no creamed corn, which can have a slop like consistency. These dishes, while they may sound appealing, might disappoint those who are looking for the pure goodness that is one of America's finest native foods. Do them a favor and resist the temptation to serve corn, unless it's on the cob.

2:任何绿色蔬菜

我们中的许多人潜意识地认为,装有蛋白质和碳水化合物的桌子必须包括绿色的东西,以平衡所有这些。但是,我们为您提供了新闻,一种覆盖着敷料的沙拉或用黄油浸透的绿色蔬菜不会使您的假期更健康。

We often add a green vegetable as an afterthought, and they're usually one of the least-liked items on the Turkey Day table. Take lima beans, for example. These green guys are usually not very popular, even when mixed with corn to make succotash (which would then adulterate the corn). Brussels sprouts are another green vegetable that can cause violent reactions from those who are forced to eat them. Although there are some who do, in fact, enjoy Brussels sprouts, those people are few and far between, and they're most likely not your relatives. Save your guests the effort of passing the dish around your dinner table by keeping it off the menu in the first place.

1:明胶沙拉

Gelatin是一种受欢迎的配菜或甜点,但是度假沙拉并不是这些摇摆不定的美食的地方,尤其是在土耳其日。通常,通常添加明胶成沙拉,水果,蔬菜或棉花糖。我们很感激的生菜不参与,但是认真地,谁认为在类似果冻的菜中添加蔬菜是个好主意?另外,如果您的桌子上已经有糖果山药或地瓜,那么在棉花糖部门加上明胶沙拉有点过分。不,石灰明胶不算为绿色菜。

如果没有这些不受欢迎的配菜,就可以在您的感恩节桌子上加载 - 后来,您的冰箱 - 您将有空间坚持您的家人真正享受的食物。虽然感恩节通常是传统的时代,但它不必在一方面表现出来,没有人关心吃饭。
