 Hey, oh, how's it going everyone? What's up? Happy holidays. This is Thanksgiving week. It is Yeah, it is where we're flash forward in time. We're actually recording this a week before but We were looking ahead at to the days off next week everything And you know what what is y'all's favorite part about Thanksgiving the days off? It is a universally guilt-free calorie day it is where calories they don't count anymore in Thanksgiving So you can really fuck it up and go hard. So before we get too far into it Let's go ahead and introduce us guys and gal. I am Cole I'm Kyle. I'm Maggie I'm Sam Maggie. What's your favorite part of Thanksgiving ideally when I don't have to see people? I'm sure people have a lot of opinions about this year But I am pretty stoked to get to stay home for once and not like I'd see in family like I love my family It's fucking stressful. That's the worst part We here and I guess that top tier decided, you know, what let's once and for all put it to bed What is the golden honey of Thanksgiving food? And we're gonna try things a little differently this time. We're each going to be making our own lists But at the end of the episode we will decide what top tiers official golden honey of Thanksgiving meals are and before any of you shout at me Hey, my favorite foods not there. We went with the most popular list I almost wish that it was even a little thinner like it just said pie instead of apple or pumpkin because of my family We have a lot of pecan pie so if it just said pie we could kind of throw out there and gravy different kinds of gravy I don't do white gravy. Oh white gravy some old dumb bullshit. We're gonna get into gravy We're gonna get into pie. We're gonna get into stuffing but first we have to get into what is considered by most the king of all So we're starting turkey then yeah, it's they're the first on the list Turkey turkey and this is this is a wild one cuz like the golden honey as it stands is gonna be contentious, right? Yes, yes, I feel like a lot of people are gonna think turkey naturally I do think it's up there, but I don't know if it's golden honey But I'll come right out the gate and say that the turkey is often the weakest part of the Thanksgiving meal for me Really? How is the family preparing the turkey? Oh, I've had tons of turkeys prepared differently and it's always just a bird that has slight seasoning Makes you sleepy, too. Turkey's the thing I'm always gonna get seconds of because it's like the one time a year you eat a turkey Right, but yes, like I think it's a beat here. I think turkey's just middling for Thanksgiving I think that's also its weak point though is that you eat so much of it like the next Weekend after Thanksgiving you are eating turkey sandwiches to the point that you're sick of turkey by the time it's done And I think that is the last thought you have leaving the Thanksgiving experience is I've had too much turkey Well, that's the only point of the turkey is for the leftover sandwiches Yes, the day after sandwich might actually be the secret golden honey in my heart But the fact I don't got to buy food for the next three days because I'm finishing off the leftovers See, I'm leaning towards turkey in the aid here because that's the center of the meal So like if you get that wrong then Thanksgiving is ruined. I think it's the opposite I think the turkey's the same kind of always You know that meme where it's the guy looking back at the girl in the red dress or whatever. Yes A gas upset girlfriend is turkey in the red dress is ham like What are you doing? It's like it's turkey day you're eating the turkey you got to put all your effort into turkey You threw a fucking ham and see. How do you screw up a ham? How do you go? You can't screw up a ham so Sam. It's fine. Yeah. No, I agree with Sam Like I'm all about the ham like I will get more pieces of ham than turkey I will get like one piece of turkey and then like three pieces of ham Oh, come on. Hey, it's just like the same throughout but with turkey you got like you got the breast meat You got the white meat. You got the dark meat. You like you got so many options Like light meat dark meat break off on turkey Majority dark because I don't like turkeys because the majority of the meat is dry Well, I think if you deep fry them, they get that's when they're the best best turkeys ever That is the only that is the only that is a turkey Thanksgiving trick. I have not had I would love to try it I challenge my friends and family likes, please give me a turkey that I like also It's it's a little dangerous. Yeah, deep-fried it little dangerous can make Thanksgiving that much more exciting Yeah, turns it into a true American holiday. Does anyone have any more to say about ham? It's the jam It should be it should have some sort of slightly sweet glaze about Yeah, honey, honey, honey glaze ham is the way that you get like yeah If we were just saying honey glaze ham then this would be up to be for me But if it's like if we're this just is ham, so I don't know I think you're putting it ham as best prepared or is prepared in your family, right? Like yeah, and that's how mine always comes pumpkin pie And I'm not a fan of pumpkin pie I don't care We'll see when it comes to the contentious bread rounds that I feel as soon. Oh, there's a yeah, there's a bread battle Yeah, about to happen. I'm also just gonna go ahead and throw red wine up in a really fast. Oh yeah, I should do that I'm also gonna put sparkling sparkling juice up there at least because as a kid it was fun to swish it around and being This is my kid wine. Yeah, all right with you Sparkling juice also as a grown-up you can seal the kids sparkling juice and then you can just put hard booze in it Exactly laps real hard. Yeah, everyone doesn't like the pumpkin pie. Wow. Well, if it had whipped cream on it, then yeah Yes, what does yes. Yes pumpkin pies I it's just so single texture if you ever find a pumpkin pie Where it's got the the entire top is covered in like pecans or walnuts or something It's sweet boom up to the base here, but I've never had that pumpkin pie at like yeah Yeah, we talked about that sort of pumpkin pie in a meeting and I have just been thinking about it I really don't give a shit about it. I love it. Talk about apple pie. I love apple pie I have never seen an apple pie at Thanksgiving the apple one for me is a C Yeah, if we're going to assume it's all a mode. Yeah, you got on what up. Yeah, cuz it's like, you know This is how we're doing fine. See it's in my S tier right now cuz apple pie. Mmm. Mmm. Do we want to start the crumbletting right now? Yeah, let's do it. It's just gonna be just like this All three a tier every single bread is the fucking best If I could went to a Thanksgiving and they had biscuits cornbread and dinner rolls I'd be getting seconds of all of them guaranteed. So then what is the one you're only allowed to get seconds of one? What do you get it's certainly between cornbread or dinner rolls? And it just kind of depends on who did it who messed up the best if it's that cornbread where it's like a little sweet They got the honey glaze on top, but it's also maybe they put a little jalapenos that spicy sweet thing Oh my god, it's the best cornbread in the world. I actually I don't like Dinner rolls. You don't like dinner rolls I don't like they're they're butter delivery vehicles. Well, yeah, that's the point but it's delicious now see for me The biscuits it really depends on is it a crumbly biscuit or is the flaky biscuit flaky biscuit awesome crumbly biscuit unless it's with Gravy and sausage like for the yes, get your fucking white gravy out here. We don't need it on our biscuits I didn't say which kind of gravy I didn't say which kind of gravy you can do with dark gravy What you fucking meant though. Corns are the fucking jam Just fucking D tier Brussels They're like And then just convince people they were good. I think you've just had healthy Brussels sprouts I'm talking about crispy possibly like they put them in with the bacon fat. Oh my fucking god The Brussels sprouts are good. I've never had good Brussels sprouts, and they just that's where they end up They go down in D tier green beans. However, I hate with a passion like if there was a lower tier than oh my god I hate I hate hate green beans So Kyle's not welcome at Thanksgiving like I'll put Brussels sprouts in C tier just cuz there could be a good one I don't know but green beans. They're staying down there, but I do think green bean casseroles is probably the greatest cultural addition that the whites have Pretty sure that's us right like I mean you probably stole it to be honest But green bean casserol to me is the most Caucasian family shit you can eat It is a banger green bean casserole is the most Thanksgiving food I don't know if I don't know if it's my personal golden honey because that's saved for later Have we decided where squash goes? I Kind of threw it in C because I'm like whatever on it, and I like squash I just think on the day like it's also like when it we also have this roasted vegetable one Which in my brain is how the squash comes? Oh Interesting with the roasted vegetables It's like you got the squash and the carrots and like maybe some turnip and shit in there Right and sweet potato casserole though sweet potato casserole is my is my strongest I love it sweet potato casserole is like the comeback story in my opinion because I as a child hated it couldn't stand it Now the don't love it. It's awesome. Let's be honest here. It's dessert passing as a side It really is it's we put a cake in here Don't don't notice me. We've garnished this cake with some vegetables somewhere in there another Thanksgiving only food That I I can't stand it actually is jellied cranberries really I've never tried it I love both the jelly cranberry sauce and the regular cranberry sauce. They're like they're mm-hmm up there for me I realize I'm lacking a tear here. You ain't got no s Sam. Oh, yes I gotta add a row above. Okay. This changes everything I've noticed I formed a like a line with corn where it's just like it's like the Mendoza line But for food if you can get past corn you're I guess you're ending up an ass except for sparkling juice Here with the corn here like that's what separates bad from good Sam's like done Doing this at dinner time, so this is like hurting me I always like relate mash and mac and cheese like as like a thing Yeah, cuz you think they literally sit next to each other on the plate, right? You like and you secretly kind of mix them up you get some yeah, mashed potato mac and cheese sometimes It's hard to be mean to food. I'm realizing this. I'm trying to wheel down my ass I feel like I got too much in it. Yeah, I'm gonna Kyle half of the fucking list is S Which I mean it's Thanksgiving. It's fucking delicious. Let me do some pruning What's the difference between scalloped and mashed scalloped? It's like it becomes a texture thing So like the scalloped it's think like they're sliced not quite as thin as a potato chip But you know pretty pretty thin and then you have this cheese sauce in it and then you bake it So it gets a nice crust on top and mm-hmm. Yeah, it's good If you were to ask me is like do you want to scout potatoes or mashed potatoes? I want to scout nine out of ten times except for when there's a whole plate of other stuff And I need to make weird little sandwiches and stuff and the mashed potatoes plays a crucial structural role in all of this The glue the adhesive. Yeah. Yeah, you got to have the mashed potatoes And then when you combine it with gravy like if they could do a fusion dance that might be golden honey for me Like mashed potatoes and gravy, but since they're separate you can have that anytime gravy I think it the heavy lifter of the entire meal. Mm-hmm. It goes on so much like Practically everything by the time you're done with the meal the gravy's touched everything roasted vegetables. I like them They they belong on the table. I for me. It's not a top neither am I I can move roasted veggies down here and then stuffing stuffing it for me ends up on that like the line between What's good and what's not it's it's fine, and you don't ever have it except for Thanksgiving. That's why I Think stuffing is my golden honey. Hmm. When I think about the one thing I'm gonna miss like not having a traditional Thanksgiving this year probably the stuffing I think it's the thing I'm gonna like that's obviously I think it's just a Certain scenario because my mom makes like the fucking most godly stuffing in the world And it's like wildly good the thing with stuffing is that stuffing is so unique to your personal Thanksgiving experience Two families cannot have the same stuffing. You're doing different things to that stuffing You're cooking it like it's the most unique food on this entire list. I was wondering where everybody ranked wine Yep Yeah, I'm about to have red wine tonight. Nice. What is the golden honey? I mean for me it is sweet potato casserole. Yeah, see I was wondering about mashed potatoes But without the gravy I that can't I was I wanted to put it as my golden honey But it's only with the gravy is gravy the golden honey Actually, I'm with you Kyle. I think gravy is the golden honey. It just goes on everything. It makes it better So I'm torn between Brussels sprouts and green bean casserole, so I'm not gonna win But green bean casserole is so Thanksgiving. I know and it's like you don't have to put gravy on it But you can it is not better with gravy. I will Gravy the golden honey because most of this shit isn't as good as it would be without the gravy The gravy is the gravy's playing support in bringing the whole team up. Oh, yeah And Thanksgiving isn't isn't nothing without that gravy. Obviously. Once again, we're only talking brown gravy white gravy can go to hell analytically speaking gravy Picks up the most weight at Thanksgiving, but what about those people that are like, oh fuck gravy. I love cranberry sauce Oh people that deserve to die. Yeah, I don't want them. They give the fuck out It's fine. It's in the a tier, but it's no it's no golden honey. I guess I'm conceding spitefully To me, it's either gravy or green bean casserole, but I don't think Kyle's gonna let it be green bean casserole just from his pure Yeah, I can't like Can we convince Sam not as a golden honey? You can convince me to like bring it up to the S tier because it is super good, but not as a golden honey. I Just look at the list the best rating of all of them is wine Yeah, I mean once again, I'm down to swap wine out for that Definitely when it comes to family and it does it does enhance everything else it makes everything taste better whether you that's because You're getting tipsy or it pairs well Let me walk up to you in February with a green bean casserole. I'll eat the hell out of that. Yes Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, it's out of place Wine's a heavy hitter year round. I mean, I never say no to red wine Specifically red wine. I will accept it as the the winner for the episode. I will accept it as the the official top tiers Thanksgiving food Whether it's a cab candy merlot or cabs have cabs have It's just Boxed small back We'll have to do a red wine tier list eventually. All right, that's official wine is the king of Thanksgiving The true ruler of Thanksgiving Thanks for watching and I will see you next time.
