I didn't realize there were so many people, so pissed offed, at the food served at their Thanksgiving dinner.

Who the **** has ever done this? That’s serial killer shit

I will eat a little bit of everything. Even stuff that’s not my favorite. I just need deviled eggs and candied yams

Fax is one of the nicest people I know, but years ago he gave me all kinds of shit for suggesting raisins in cinnamon rollsROFL

The inventor of the green-bean casserole, Dorcas Reilly died on Oct. 15 at 92. This Thanksgiving, Campbell's Soup estimates the dish will be served and enjoyed in more than 20 million homes Thursday.

DORCAS REILLY: This Thanksgiving, we remember a woman who has made a mark on millions of Thanksgiving tables, including, perhaps, the one that you are at today. Dorcas Reilly, the creator of green bean casserole, died last month. In 1955, she was working in the home economics department of the Campbell Soup Company. Her job was to come up with creative ways to use Campbell's products - tuna noodle casserole, sloppy Joe souper burgers - that's S-O-U-P-er (ph) burgers.

The dish first known as a green bean bake combined two kitchen staples at the time, green beans and cream of mushroom soup. She tested. She tinkered. She put it in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes, and the green bean casserole was born. Reilly had no idea the dish would become a holiday classic. In interviews, she said she didn't even remember creating it. Here she is at her alma mater, Drexel University, in 2009.


REILLY: I love to go to work every day, and I am just overwhelmed. As they say, that was just another day's work.


ARI SHAPIRO, HOST:

Well, thanks to that day's work, Campbell's estimates that 40 percent of its cream of mushroom soup sales end up in green bean casserole. Reilly always insisted the invention was a team effort. And 60 years later, the six-ingredient dish is almost as much a part of Thanksgiving as the turkey. One ingredient in particular might be the stroke of genius.



LAURA SHAPIRO: The reason people like it decade after decade has everything to do with the French fried onion rings because of the salt and the fat and the crunch. I mean, it's the kind of product that people love.

SHAPIRO: That's Linda (ph) Shapiro - no relation. She's a culinary historian and author of "Something From The Oven: Reinventing Dinner In 1950s America." These days, as food trends rise and fall all the time, she says green bean casserole's secret weapon is its familiarity.

SHAPIRO: Thanksgiving, you don't necessarily want something new. Food people are always saying - oh, you know, time for bok choy sauteed with a little sprinkling of prosciutto. No, people don't want that. They want green bean casserole, just as they did in 1955, because it reminded them of themselves.

SHAPIRO: In 2002, Campbell's donated Dorcas Reilly's original recipe card to the National Inventors Hall of Fame. And Reilly kept cooking. She said in 2013 that she was still experimenting in her own kitchen. Her motto at work and at home, she said, was food should be fun; food should be happy. Dorcas Reilly died last month. She was 92 years old.

**** all the casserole haters.

I am avowed Thanksgiving and Christmas super fan.

I love the holiday season for so many reasons.

The food, the family gathering, friends we always find time to be with are so important.

And this year our food pantry, actually three we help with in three smaller communities are in trouble and need help.

Do what you can, lots of people hurting again this season

God Bless you all

and I do love GBC

Right, so my anger is pretty much solely directed at one person, not the food.

I eat Turkey all year long. Probably more than beef or pork. I git it shaved or thick sliced at the deli and top salads with it or have Turkey sammiches.

Nothing pissed me off more as a kid than an adult fixing my plate and putting mother ****ing beats next to my mashed potatoes :mad:. This is unforgivable. I didn't want the beats. I'd say no beats for me thanks but wtf BEATS NEXT to my MASHED POTATOES. Ruined Thanksgiving thanks for starving me.

I've always loved me some baked yams with marshmallows baked on top

Honestly love some homemade stuffing with homemade gravy. Nothing too special but it's classic and delicious.

Im just glad we got an early Thanksgiving Green Bay Casserole

It’s hard to beat pickled beets
