The Flying McCoys by Glenn McCoy and Gary McCoy for November 24, 2019

NOT!!!

Anything but green bean casserolle.

The start of having turkeys for Thanksgiving.

Green beans are native to the Americas. They came looking for the recipe.

They must be vegetarians……lol

Wait until you discover the fruitcakes they will be offering you for Christmas next month!

Keep an extra bowl of crunchy fried onions on the side.

Candied sweet potatoes! Never tried fixing green bean casserole.

……and corn pudding! ;o)

Not only are they not bringing the green bean casserole but they will rely on you for their very survival and then 50 years later they’re going to murder almost every man, woman and child of your Wampanoag tribe. But hey, enjoy the turkey while you can.

My d-in-l brings a mashed turnip dish to every family dinner. Absolutely no one likes it except her and my son, but no one has the nerve to tell her.

I’d go with New Orleans style corn pudding.

Shoulda had a wall.

Love green beans…hate that soupy casserole!

How did that damn casserole get so “popular” if most of us can’t stand it??????? Nope. No burp. :)

That must have been a early attempt at sarcasm.

Nope. They brought booze, syphilis and smallpox. They’ll take all your gold in return.

They’ll bring all the disease you can handle!!!!! lol

I hate the fake onion and mushroom soup recipe. However If I saute fresh green beans and mushrooms, add a Mornay (cheese) sauce and top it with REAL fried onions, it is heavenly. You can also run it under a broiler to brown the sauce right before serving for an extra flair.

I sometimes wonder if the bleeding hearts think the Indians would still be paddling around in birchbark canoes and hunting deer with stone arrowheads. Are they really so racist to think they never would have progressed out of the Stone Age?

Said no Native ever.

I’m the one in one thousand that likes it.

What did those innocent green beans ever do to deserve such an end. I have yet to see a TG yet where 3/4 of that creamed bowl of slop didn’t end up in the garbage or the compost heap.

Why? Why do you keep forcing this abomination on us?

When I was a little kid in the fifties, we never had fresh or frozen vegetables, only canned. Green bean casserole (or hotdish, in my neck of the woods) was the only vehicle in which I found any vegetable at all palatable back then. I still welcome it as nostalgic comfort food at family gatherings. But of course fresh or frozen vegetables are preferable day-to-day now that they’re available.
