It’s been 125 years since Thanksgiving and the first full day of Hanukkah coincided. Having missed the last occurrence by a wide margin, I want to make sure I do this one up right. But I am not sure what you serve for Thanksgivukkah. And I have just this one time to get it right. The mismatch of the two calendars means that if I botch this Thanksgivukkah I’ll have to wait 79,043 years for another to come along, and I’m not sure I’ll live that long. What do I serve? Turkey roasted over a menorah? What are your plans for this truly unique holiday coincidence?

Corned beef brisket with stuffing, gravy and cranberries. I don’t remember any special meals for Chanukah, other than Potato latkes, like there are for the end of Yom Kippur, Passover or Purim. Giving the kids chocolate coins wrapped in gold foil at the end of the meal will cover all contingencies, I guess. Chanuhak gelt
I’ll be at @gailcalled‘s house. Oh wait—I haven’t been invited yet.
I’m neither Jewish nor do I celebrate Thanksgiving, so nothing.
A massive plate of the fattiest pork imaginable.
I’m all for any celebration that does not include turkey and chicken (extremely allergic to poultry). @gailcalled‘s brisket sounds delicious. Any other non-turkey options?
A sacrilegious turkey: a 18 pound bird wrapped in the best bacon I can find.
I’m sort of the “designated eater” on Thanksgiving. It will depend on what my wife plans on cooking. Some years we have had turkey and pumpkin pie other years I have had duck and Cornish hens. I can’t have ham so it will probably be some type of bird.
Have a great Thanksgiving everyone.
Potato latkes with turkey gravy! Sweet potato latkes! Chocolate Gelt with the coffee.
We’re having Thanksmas at our house instead. Seriously—inviting friends who we’d prefer to see at the holidays but we have to be with our families instead.
Just throw some sour cream on your mashed potatoes and skip the gravy! Happy Hannuk-giving. Oy-veyster stew, anyone?
(Joking about the corned beef and those particularly trimmings. One only serves corned beef with boiled buttered cabbage, carrots, potatoes and baby turnips.)
Making potato latkes in Paris tomorrow night; may serve it with bought boeuf of some kind. Will be making turkey stuffing, etc for Thanksgiving the next day. It probably won’t compete with Frodo’s feast though.
My sisters making the meal but I’m bringing the homemade carmel pecan rolls
I shoulda know better than to ask this. Here is it 12:32 AM and the rest of the house is asleep; and I have this irresistible urge to go to the kitchen and start cooking.
