Accept an invitation for Thanksgiving and you figure you’re in the clear: no need to get up at 4 a.m. to wrestle a corpse-cold turkey out of a bathtub filled with ice and brine. Only—damn!—you promised you’d bring something, and this is probably the one day of the year when you can't show up with some dusty bottle of cooked Cabernet from the corner market. So here, in convenient flow-chart format, a system for deciding that gnawing question: What to bring?

What a surprise - another piece of intellectual cotton candy from CHOW...:-( I rarely venture beyond Chowhound's village limits and it seems whenever I do, I come back sticky.
Wondering why posts are truncated. You can say minutes but you can't say seconds?
Bread and butter radish pickles - cool! Got invited to a post-Thanksgiving pig roast and was wondering what to bring besides booze :)
Grandma's thanksgiving however, they know I'm a cook. But they only let me do appetizers so I'm doing bread and butter radish pickles (Thanks for recipe Chowhound!) And Devil's on horseback. I have to make it cool and interesting but not to weird... the younger relatives Boomers and under are all Foodies just grandma and grandpa aren't.
Haha yams of sorrow...
Where can I get a pilgrim-themed taser?
JudiAU - "Gravy's" is correct. It is a contraction for "gravy is" in this case.
Ahaha, I appreciate the humor. Love this!
Very funny but when are you guys going to grow up and get some editors? "Gravy's" indeed.
I can't believe people actually took this seriously. LOL at "Potato Buds, bitchez!!!"

Candied carrots are good, and they reheat quickly in a saucepan or even the microwave. They're traditional, but not common enough that you have to worry about someone else bringing them too. Rice is also easily reheated. An autumnal pilaf or something.
Was this suppose to be funny or helpful? I was actually really hoping for some pointers on what to bring to dinner. It's hard since bringing anything that requires oven space or reheating - could be bad. We are invited to a traditional family dinner and were told to bring a side dish?????? Any ideas?
