Thanksgiving Traditions: North vs. South

While we can’t support all Southern culinary traditions wholeheartedly (does everything have to be fried?), we will assert without a twinge of regret that a Southern Thanksgiving beats a Northern one, hands-down. Not only do Southerners not feel compelled to create a meal that unerringly honors the one our forefathers are said to have enjoyed, but they accept everyone’s contributions without reservation. As a result, the table groans with good (if unrelated) things, akin to a church potluck.

 

So, join us as we point out the distinctions between a Southern Thanksgiving and a Northern one, from side dishes to desserts to the main course. We may have a few biases, and you're welcome to disagree with our choices. But either way your opinion swings, you're sure to discover great traditions to stand behind, not to mention a slew of can't-beat recipes to try this year.
