We are going to eat SO MUCH food next week, aren't we? That is to say, isn't everyone? This royal-we business makes it hard to communicate sometimes. Does the Queen have this problem? Anyway, yes, everyone will eat lots of food next Thursday, because if they don't that means they hate America. That goes for poor people, too. Doubly so.
So what will you eat? We posted some bang-up tips awhile back for gravy and stuffing. After the jump: Our mom's awesome Mushroom Soup. But what else is there to eat? Share your fave recipes in the comments, plz. We're going to be hosting a vegetarian and we don't know WHAT we will serve. A giant fruit platter, maybe? Are they allowed to eat food that's served on plates?
The big excitement in previous years was around the TurDuckEn -- a turkey stuffed with a duck stuffed with a chicken. Daring! But also kind of old-fashioned and over-trendy. We're all abuzz about this year's new invention: the TurFishStrich! A turkey, stuffed with fish (chef's choice, but usually haddock or mackerel) wrapped in an ostrich. There's only one bay area restaurant where you can get them: a classy European joint called Nous Sommes Chanceux que ce Soit Vendredi, located in San Bruno.
After the jump: mushrumps!
