I'm so sorry that there isn't at least an "Other" category listed. At least a few of us don't celebrate the holiday. And at least a few of us are vegetarians who look forward to Tofurkey.

Good point, Keith! I'll be celebrating my first Thanksgiving without a turkey this year. I would also add spinach bread to the mix — that happens to be a new Thanksgiving favorite for me!
