"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 host-cooked turkey or sometimes ham or Cornish game hens, with sides like stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, green beans or Brussels sprouts, and desserts such as pumpkin pie with whipped cream. Dietary restrictions are increasingly complicating meal planning, as guests may avoid many traditional dishes due to medical conditions (diabetes, celiac disease, lactose intolerance), political or moral convictions, or wellness trends. Hosts face multiple guests selectively eating only portions of the meal. The recommendation is to include or accept potluck-style dishes that accommodate these needs while keeping the turkey.
