Chicken & Noodles

Now that Thanksgiving has passed, please reflect on what was served at your table.  Were there chicken and noodles?  Not the soup, just the noodles and chicken (maybe gravy).

I ask because...the week of Thanksgiving, I asked H if his family eats c&n on T-day and he looked at me like I was crazy.  So, that's what I brought.  Well, H's cousin's wife had the same convo with her H (who gave her the same look).  She brought it as well.  We've decided people in S. IN and KY don't eat this for T-day.  However, some people from C. IN don't either (I asked a friend of the family from Indy, and he thought I was nuts.)  Do you?

  • I've never heard of that before...but it sounds yummy!!

  • Nope...never heard of it!
  • Beth, where's your H's family originally from?  BB are another thing my family usually has that I didn't see at H's family dinner.

  • Never heard of that, but DH's family has a creamy chicken and noodle soup the Saturday following Thanksgiving. We have a traditional turkey, ham, butter beans, casseroles, cranberry sauce type of meal.

    The thing that was foreign to me last year was DH's family's giblet gravy that has egg in the gravy. I had never seen that before.

  • Munkii, my H's dad's family is originally from Ohio and his mom's family is from PA, as far as I know. We currently all live in central PA

  • You may have helped semi-solve the mystery.  My mom's family is from PA and OH, and my dad is from Mexico--so, my mom dictated what we had at T-day since it's not celebrated in MX.  Now, if only other PA and OH people would say this is normal to them: I wouldn't feel so left out.

    Ashley, that sounds gross?  Did you try it?

    Matt loves Munkii!!!
  • Sorry Munkii, never heard of it.

    But it sounds good - put it on the FB Cookbook page!

  • I'm leaning towards the OH as the solution to the mystery since both sides of my family are from PA and we have never done anything like this. I don't know. I will admit that it is very different sitting down at someone else's holiday dinner table and realizing that some traditions are so different from your own.

  • Had it before = yes at thanksgiving = no I haven't had that in a long time. I just might have to make that tonight.
  • I have definitely never heard of that. I've had turkey, ham, and even meatballs (hey we're Italian!) on Thanksgiving, but never chicken of any kind. 

    (And I learned LOTS of new dishes marrying into DH's family - Pennsylvania Dutch!)

    Ditto this. My Dad's side of the family and all of DH's family is from PA, as was my ex-FI's (with whom I shared a few T-days) and I've never seen it.

  • We have noodles every year!  Not chicken, because we have the turkey, but we do have noodles.  It's my favorite thing, especially mixed in with mashed potatoes!  I don't know where my mom gets them, but every year, she brags that they're Amish noodles, whatever that means.  

     I brought leftovers for lunch at work today and a co-worker of mine actually looked at them like I was crazy... she didn't even know what they were!  I thought it was common everywhere too.  I guess just the cool kids have them. :)

  • She didn't know what noodles are?!  That's out of control!  Finally, someone who doesn't think they're foreign.
    Matt loves Munkii!!!
  • Haha, well, she knew they were noodles, but I guess she'd never really seen them.  They're thick, not like noodles in chicken soup, and she asked if there was sauce for them, like pasta I guess.  I don't know, it was weird.  To each their own, right?!  We had noodles, but not gravy.  I'm sure a lot of people would think THAT is weird! :)

  • Munkii and Foto - my dad tells me that giblet gravy is just a country thing. We always just made gravy from the turkey broth.

    Last year, I picked around the eggs and whatnot, too weird.

  • DH told me he has had giblet gravy and that it is good. I've only ever had just regular gravy from the turkey broth. I'm now sure I could make myself eat giblet gravy.
