HALUSKI IS AN ETHNIC DISH
When you grow up in an area of multiple nationalities you learn to cook the different ethnic foods and Pittsburgh is a melting pot for all of them
It is fried cabbage and Onions in magerine or butter (well done) and then you add cooked noodles to it.
Some nationalities will add cottage cheese to it also but we don't
We use an electric slicer to cut our cabbage and sometimes our onions but it can also be sliced by hand.

He will probably get a pass but will not be able to eat any of the food
Lets see..
Turkey regular and one small one smoked.
Stuffing
mashed potatoes & Gravy
Yams
Cranberry sauce
Green bean casserole
Brussel sprouts
Rolls
a few realish trays ,assorted cheese, Veggies & assorted dips.
pumpkin pie
apple pie
chocolate chip cookies
sugar cookies
That's the basics every year I tend to expand on it here and there.

My niece who lives Upstate NY has all of her side of the family and all of her husband's side of the family for Thanksgiving every year. It's a 2 1/2 hour ride but worth it!! We're italian so of course we have antipasto, lasagna, meatballs, sausage, then the turkey and all the fixings and prior to all there's pre dinner stuff. After finishing eating all of that there's cake, cookies, pies, and chocolate and an assortment of nuts (no - not us - lol). I try not to overeat any of it because the uncomfortable feeling you have afterwards is just not worth it.
Chicken

I agree with you on the cottage cheese
What do you think of a gal born in England that can make and enjoy all those ethnic foods. At the ripe old age of 10 I grew up with all nationalities and learned to love their food and make it even tho a lot of my recipes are made from sight. Remember that is how the old timers cooked and baked. My kids get upset at me as I cannot give them exact measurments for a lot of things I make...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL
I think it's great!
I grew up in BAltimore, MD and ate lots of ethnic food, other than that from eastern Europe. :-)
I remember asking my granny, "Grandma... how do you know if the meat is seasoned right? You don't measure?" She said, "you taste it."

I remember when I first came here to Pittsburgh the street I moved to should of been called The UN as there were so many nationalities living on that street. I just loved it as I was invited to everyone's home for the different foods. I was treated very special and was known as "The Girl From England" even when I started school here.
About measurements I was told you know by sight and my feel when you work the dough. I remember a lot of them used the big white coffee cups.

YEP...big white coffee cups, regular spoons and poured amounts into the hand was the standard measurement for seasoning. You could taste, you could feel, you learned with the senses when it was right.
Yes that is how I was taught to cook/bake. Now everything has to be measured and even with a recipe in front of me I had to improvise my way.
Now if only I could make Yorkshire Pudding I would be set. Everytime I try to make it I can never get it right it is one big mess....

The pudding sounds good.
Its English and this English Gal can't make it but can just about anything else

I remember one bubba or bubbie had this one pan with handles on it and when she was done using it for her baking of the day she used it as a dish pan to wash everything she used. Another one would not let water touch her rolling pin but just wiped it off with a towel and put it away. Another one had a rolling pin with only one handle and she could go to town rolling out her dough with it. They had their ways and their food always tasted great.
Water doesn't touch my rolling pins either. :-)
And, soap doesn't touch my black, cast iron pans. The cast iron pans are just wiped out with a paper towel.

Ditto
I am very particular about my rolling pin and usually get a hand made scrungie that I buy at craft shows to clean it off. My black cast iron pans are also wiped out with a paper towel. It took me too long to cure them for soap & water to ruin them..
I can still sit back and remember all those old folks teaching my how to do thing their way. They did not tell me what to roll the Nut Horns in and by trail and error I found out it was sugar and flour. The same with perogies they forgot to tell me not to stack them so the first time I made them you know what happened...
