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?
Matt loves Munkii!!!
Re: Chicken & Noodles
My Blog!
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.
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?
Sorry Munkii, never heard of it.
But it sounds good - put it on the FB Cookbook page!
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.
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.
