I know most Americans will have the traditional turkey--or maybe ham. But does anyone prefer something else?
My husband will eat turkey, if we go somewhere; but he isn't wild about it. So I usually fixed ham in the past, when we stayed home.
However...in recent years, we've gotten much 'bolder'--and decided on something entirely different: Italian Spaghetti. The 'Italian' refers to the homemade spaghetti sauce, originated by my great, great uncle, who was a cook in the merchant marines. Actually, my family will only eat homemade spaghetti sauce now--& by the time you buy all the different spices, it is a lot more expensive than just buying spaghetti sauce, lol--so it's become a 'special' dinner.
But it's worth it: you can't beat an 'old family recipe' for bringing back fond memories of the past--and memories of family members who are no longer with us.
