Thanksgiving Eatin'



So what are the classic side dishes for Thanksgiving?  You've got your cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes with marshmallows, bread stuffing, squash, and broccoli are the ones that immediately come to mind.  Here are three takes on Thanksgiving side dishes to whet your appetite, from the traditional to the healthy, and the ... disturbing.

The Food Channel has an article with links to recipes for all the traditional eating, from mashed potatoes to cranberry sauce.

The New York Times will have a series of articles focusing on vegetarian Thanksgiving recipes.  Their intent is to replace the turkey with foods that emphasize the harvest aspect of Thanksgiving by being based on ingredients that are grown.  I don't disagree with this idea, and admit that some of these recipes seem delicious, but to me it's more a collection of side dishes rather than entrees.

Finally, there's Flavorwire's list of "10 Absolutely Forbidden Foods." I wouldn't recommend this as a good list of ideas.  In fact, just reading the list might be very unhealthy for you let alone actually eating any of these things
