Condiments with turkey/ham

tsugua said:

Hello,

I would like to know if condiments are often used when eating turkey,
ham etc during Christmas? If so, what are the usual favorites?

In my mother's house, turkey is served with stuffing, cranberry sauce,
and giblet gravy, along with lots of side dishes. Ham is served with a
sweet gravy made by cooking the ham with pineapple and cloves.

Hello again,

Thanks to all for the wonderful response! I'm Asian and we don't usually
celebrate Christmas the way you all do so I'm really clueless about the
food culture except for the general facts.

Well a traditional Christmas turkey dinner usually involves cranberry
sauce, turkey Gravy. Some of the side dishes might have their own
sauces as well. For example scalloped potatoes.

Now I'm not sure if stuffing/dressing (made in the cavity of the bird
or not) is considered a condiment or a side dish, but that is what a
lot of the gravy is used on.

On my ex MIL's table at Christmas there was always dill pickle spears
chow-chow and pickled onions.

A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut.

Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?

Sometimes, homemade gravy is the only condiment you need with turkey.

<Ahem> Are you certain you don't mean 'sauce' <ahem>?

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Hey - I was hold of a large wooden spoon, but utterly without a pot ',;~}~

Cranberry sauce made from fresh cranberries tastes so much nicer than
the canned sauce. It's really easy to make too.

Stuffing is considered an *essential* here 🙂 So is gravy.

Other things that make it to our table for Thanksgiving or Christmas
turkey dinners are: mashed potatoes, corn, squash, green beans, pickled
beets, dill pickles, bread & butter pickles, homemade bread. When we
have turkey other times of the year I put out less sticking mainly to
potatoes, stuffing, cranberries, gravy, turkey.

It's very easy to make, and I do make it when the occasion calls for it,
but I always find the homemade stuff kind of bitter. I think the canned
stuff, since it's what I grew up with, feels like the real thing. I
don't love it either way, but the canned whole-berry sauce is the only
one I like much. (Most people seem to prefer my homemade stuff, so I
understand that this is probably just me.)

Serene, who also sometimes makes Mama Stamberg's Cranberry Relish --
anyone else serve pepto-bismol pink relish for Thanksgiving? Now that
stuff I can eat with a spoon

My family likes cherry sauce for ham, or raisin sauce, but our favorite
is plain ol' horseradish - not the "horseradish sauce," but grated
horseradish in a jar (I think it's preserved with vinegar).

For turkey, cranberry sauce is our favorite, and sometimes we'll do an
orange or Mandarin orange garnish.
