    1. Cranberry sauce is good.

    Counter-point: Nuh-uh.

      Agreed. It's the devil's condiment.

    Cranberry sauce is truly delicious, and clearly one of the best things about Thanksgiving and Christmas. But can one even get fresh cranberries year round? I only see them around this time of year.

      Cranberries freeze well, so your point is null.

    Burneko will hate me but I love the goddamned canned stuff. Real cranberries in your cranberry sauce? Get that nonsense out of my face. I need those rings. Give me the rings!

      I've never had it but we're in agreement that cocoa powder in chili is crap and serving it over spaghetti is an abomination. Stacking 6 inches of shredded cheddar on top of it is also the most Midwest thing I can imagine. A little bit of cheese, sure. Within reason. Dropping half of a goddamned 2 cup bag on top? Fucking Ohioans, man.

    My wife actually makes cranberry sauce all year. We usually have it with yogurt because it's a little tart. Better question: Why can't we have green bean casserole all year with those wonderful fried onions?

      I'm pretty sure green been casserole wouldn't be as delicious if you didn't have to wait a year to eat it.

    Whoah, whoah, whoah, let's talk turkey, though.

    Why can't we get cheap-ass whole turkey year round? Why does Butterball have to be like the deBeers cartel and hoard all those delicious turkeys in their frozen vaults? Instead we try to cram a year's worth of turkey down our gullets during Thanksgiving, and inevitably end up hating it, until the following year.

      There's a delightful family-owned turkey farm right near my house, I am so spoiled on delicious turkey. They make an amazing turkey pie, which is basically chicken pot pie minus all veggies, just turkey and gravy. So. Good.

      I'm jealous. My workplace has "Thanksgiving Thursday" in the cafeteria year round (with turkey breasts), but I wish I could replicate the whole roasted turkey experience outside the Thanksgiving window.

    A couple months ago I lamented that we, as a nation, only eat sweet potato casserole around the holidays. Then I remembered I was a goddamned adult living by myself so I answer to no one. The next day it was blackened pork chops, green beans, and sweet potato casserole. Being an adult is awesome, people. You can do whatever you want so long as it's within the letter of the law and you can afford it. So, ok, maybe not whatever you want but you can eat sweet potato casserole and/or cranberry sauce every day if you want with only your doctor to tell you not to. And seriously? Fuck that guy. Does he even eat sweet potatoes?

      Sweet potato casserole only on the holidays? You must not be from the South. For me I seem to only get access to Pumpkin pie during the holidays. I usually make it so I am not sure why I don't make it whenever I want.

      Sweet potatoes were a year round thing but getting that casserole with marshmallows or walnuts and brown sugar was reserved for the holidays. And that was while living in South Carolina.

    I do eat cranberry sauce all year because a bag of cranberries is cheap and I always make more than I need for Thanksgiving dinner, so the rest ends up jarred and eaten on toast or in yogurt or on ice cream or on crackers with cheese or dumped in a smoothie or mulled wine.

      We eat it as a spread on sandwiches. Chicken, cranberry sauce, arugula, Swiss on a flaky roll? Any time of year.

      Replace the Swiss with brie/flaky roll with baguette and you have a winner!

    Hamilton, you must not eat at IKEA nearly enough. Lingonberry sauce - which is basically just fancy ass Swedish cranberry sauce - is served year-round and goes best with those ever so delicious IKEA Swedish motherfucking meatballs. For just $5.99 (managers special!) You can have the deliciousness of pseudo-cranberry sauce any time you walk into Those Hallowed Halls of Swedish-made Furniture.

    (Or, you know, your local Boston Market. I'm pretty sure they have some version of a Thanksgiving sandwich with cranberry sauce available year-round.)

      Harrods in London does a fab turkey and cranberry sandwich in the food hall at the back. Yum.

    In grade school we would always have a "Thanksgiving lunch" the Monday before the actual holiday. All of my classmates would complain about the canned cranberry sauce (which I love) and how gross it was. I was too ashamed to eat it in front of them and had to suffer silently. It was torturous.

      I love slicing it for sandwiches and then mashing it with real mayo into the bread. I am gross and will leave now.

      My mom is bringing homemade stuff which is delicious, but I still bought myself a can of jellied stuff.
