Not for dinner, but Mr. CE made leftover eggs benedict... Stuffing cakes topped with poached eggs and gravy. Sadly, no turducken included for reasons I can't fathom.

Turducken was awesome! (He now wants it every year.) I haven't had any leftover but I think Mr. CE just nuked it yesterday.
Tonight's dinner was slow-roasted coho salmon (thank you Sitka Salmonshares!) with teriyaki sauce and left over ginger garlic green beans.

Bluefin tuna crudo (a friend's son has a boat and line catches them near the Channel Islands), fennel orange salad, roasted cauliflower with preserved lemon dressing.

Thanksgiving leftovers - stuffing, sweet potato casserole, turkey. plus gravy for stuffing (but not turkey) and cranberry.
I had to take out the frozen turkey to put in the fridge because we finished a big load of turkey!
the drumstick is huge! 16-lb turkey.

Is reheating methods a big Thanksgiving topic of discussion? 
(I hate reheated roasted meat. It tastes really weird to me)

Sweet potato fries, in my own unpopular opinion, are one of the worst food creations ever. Not only do they have that sugary taste (which fries shouldn't have), but they are soggy and floppy almost 100% of the time. The texture is off-putting. Again, if someone serves them to me, I'll politely eat them. I will never order them for myself or make them at home.
Looking through all the menus and pics, glad to see so many nice Thanksgiving dinners!
I think I mentioned a week or so ago that my mother in law was deciding what to make instead of turkey this year. Just to close the loop, we ended up with a delicious prime rib.

No reason you should have to apologize for your taste preference
Isn't variety what makes the world go 'round ( or something like that).
As for Thanksgiving I applaud your choice - I'd highly prefer prime rib to turkey - altho the choice of fresh sashimi had me drooling too!

Not the first time I've been asked this question, but I don't have a good answer. I generally don't like sweets and they taste sweet to me. I eat dessert only occasionally, and when I do I prefer dark chocolate or banana flavors because they aren't as sweet. I don't abhor sweet potatoes...if someone serves them to me, I'll politely take a small serving. But I won't enjoy it, and would rather get my calories from anything else on the table. As for yams, I'm not certain I've ever had one. If they aren't as sweet, I might like them.

I also prefer reheated food thats originally hot. Its hard for me to enjoy cold Chinese cuisine / cold pasta / cold steak.
I can eat thinly sliced roast beef as a sandwich but not by itself :-)

It's a real thing too, not just in my mind. I guess some people don't have the Ramsayesque palate of moi so don't notice it. Poultry is definitely the worst.
