What's the thanksgiving food you skip out on?

I'm vegetarian. I skip the meat. Just about everything else is good...except those candied yam things, those are nasty.

I'm keepin' it Keto: turkey, gravy & veggies with butter. I'm bringing an app I can eat; jalapenos stuffed with cream cheese wrapped in bacon.My splurge is going to be a couple nice glasses of organic red wine.

I always skip the pies and the stuffing because I don't like them. Unless it's my mom's pecan pie because that stuff is magic!

I have to opt out of turkey and traditional fixings because Mom doesn’t like turkey, so there’s no telling what will interest me.

My wife's aunt is having everybody over. That's her kids and grandkids as well as her sister's kids and grandkids. Her sister, my wife's mother', passed away 10 years ago and my wife's father passed away a few weeks ago. This particular Thanksgiving might be the last time all the cousins get to see each other without a dead person in a box.
I'll get to see one the cousins who launched her mfp journey after seeing me at my father-in-law's funeral.

This is my first thanksgiving as a vegetarian, so I’m skipping turkey in favor of a roasted acorn squash with pecans, butter and a drizzle of maple syrup. I’ll try everything that’s meat-Free. One slice of pie and limit of 2 glasses of Pinot Noir.

I usually skip the mashed potatoes.

Green bean casserole. Never liked it so I'll pass on that. Everything else had better watch out.

We never had green bean casserole when I was growing up, and now I do a green bean dish with mushrooms and dill and some pine nuts that is part of the enormous amount of vegetables we end up having with Thanksgiving dinner. I wouldn't skip out on that! After playing around with various kinds of candied sweet potatoes and never finding one I liked, I dropped that and do roasted sweet potatoes, although occasionally someone brings some (and then I skip it).

Things that are required at our Thanksgiving dinner that I ignore are rolls and gravy (I'm just not that into gravy, like turkey without it and mashed potatoes with butter). And I usually skip pumpkin pie (or pecan if someone brings it), since I prefer apple. (Exception for this bourbon chocolate pecan pie a friend of mine sometimes makes, but that's never at actual Thanksgiving but the Thanksgiving in September event she hosts on Labor Day weekend.)

I just found out I have allergies to a bunch of things, including turkey and chicken and freaking wheat...my Meal was mushrooms, asparagus, onion and baked potatoes. I would have loved to mow down some rolls but I’m not too sad about turkey.

I have some food sensitivities , so i made my own turkey legs and shared a sweet potato cranberry bake. I didn't really miss anything except for my mom's macaroni with beschamel.

Before I limited myself, I still avoided green bean casseroles, cranberry sauce, and that sweet potato marshmallow dish (haven't seen that in the last few years though).

I skip the stuffing. I don't think I have ever liked stuffing, so I don't feel any loss by skipping. Last year a friend had me make stuffing from scratch, nothing in it I hate, just have no desire to eat it.
