"Thanksgiving has never been an easy meal to prepare, but the menu has traditionally been straightforward. Usually, the host cooks and prepares at least one turkey - although smaller celebrations might involve ham or Cornish game hens as the main course. Then the host or guests provide the sides and desserts, which often include stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, green beans or Brussels sprouts, and at least one dessert, usually pumpkin pie with whipped cream."
"Today, traditionalists may run into a new challenge when it comes to cooking and serving their loved ones Thanksgiving dinner: dietary restrictions. Instead of just having one picky child who refuses to eat anything but McDonald's Chicken McNuggets, you might have multiple adults politely piling their and their children's plates with only half the offerings and shunning the other dishes."
Thanksgiving menus traditionally center on a turkey or alternative mains such as ham or Cornish game hens, with sides like stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, green beans or Brussels sprouts, and pumpkin pie with whipped cream. Dietary restrictions now complicate meal planning and serving, as guests may avoid many traditional items because of medical conditions like diabetes, celiac disease, or lactose intolerance, or for political, moral, or wellness reasons. Hosts may face multiple guests selectively eating only parts of the meal. Adding suitable recipes or inviting potluck contributions can help ensure everyone enjoys the celebration while keeping favorite dishes.
