What is your favorite single item on the Thanksgiving table?

[bo55diesel]

My mom and I have talked on the phone about 10 times in the last week to fine tune the Thanksgiving feast. She and my wife have exchanged an unknown number ofe-mails, but I would guess they have been in contact at least as many times as FDR spoke to Churchill in the days leading up to Normandy.

Every year, there is a dazzling array of food at mom's house. There are multiple snack foods available before the meal such as cheese cubes, venisonsausage, crab stuffed mushrooms, spinach and artichoke dip and chips, and various other guest stars. The main meal is always turkey and ham accompanied by awide range of sides, from traditional items like sweet potatoes and stuffing to this year's offering of potato-goat cheese gratin.

My favorite dish occurs at the end of the meal. My mom makes this unbelievable pumpkin pie. It is not the traditional dense, savory pie. Instead, it is a coldpie that is more along the lines of a pumpkin mousse. The filling has a whipped consistency, is sweet with some great spice notes, and is about two inchesthick. It is topped by a layer of whipped cream that is also about two inches thick. She makes her own crusts as well, and they are always perfect. Taken alltogether, this dessert is by far my favorite dish of the day.

Do you have a dish that you look forward to each Thanksgiving?

my man comin' through with the operation overlord references.

for me, it would have to be a tie between my mom's homemade stuffing and my wife's port wine poached pears with candied pecans.
