Hey all,

I thought, it being the season and all, that I'd throw out a question:

What is your favorite Thanksgiving food, either one that you or your family makes or that you've liked elsewhere?

For me, two things come to mind. First of all, my latticed, crumb-topped apple pie, which was handed down from my Russian great-grandmother, and has secret ingredients like orange juice and graham cracker crumbs, and which I _still_ don't make as well as my mom, but hey, give me 20 years or so.

The other is more unusual. For me, one of the highlights of Thanksgiving is always chopped liver, served as a snack at just that time in the early afternoon when everyone's starving from the yummy smells. You take the turkey liver, see, from the turkey, and you chop it up fine and saute it with the turkey fat, lots of it, and also saute in the fat a small white onion, and then you take 1-2 hardboiled eggs and chop them up with the liver and onions till you have a pate-like-substance, and then you add paprika and salt to the whole thing, and sprinkle paprika on the top so it looks pretty, and serve it with French bread.

Mmm....chopped liver. Part of the traditional Jewish Thanksgiving. :)
