Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

You're doing it wrong. It sounds like you're following some goofy rules about what Thanksgiving is supposed to be.
Turkey? Yeah, sure, we'll have one. Ours wears a woven blanket made of bacon to cook. Never had it come out dry.
Ham too, why not. Lasagna, of course. Crab cakes, definitely. Maybe a beef roast or ribs.
Sides? No fewer than 12. Chestnut stuffing, potato filling, green beans, roasted potatoes, caprese salad, broccoli, asparagus, etc.
Desserts. Should be four or five. Pumpkin pie (don't like it? Good. I wanted it all anyway). Cherry pie. Apple pie. Blueberry pie, chocolate cream roll, ice cream, etc.
Based on your description, whoever is cooking your food doesn't know how to do it right. It's not like Thanksgiving requires you to cook everything wrong.
So uh is your family looking to adopt? 🤤
All the foods I mention are standard Thanksgiving meals. It’s just mediocre. Don’t see it any other way.
It's only mediocre if it isn't prepared properly.
