Discussion from w:Talk:One-Hour Thanksgiving Dinner

I really dislike the use of brand names for all of these ingredients. Is this copied from the back of a package?

Place the vegetables on the stove under low heat. - under the heat? RickK 06:11, 27 Nov 2003 (UTC)


Not copied from any package. The brands dont match anyhow and compete against one another.

The mention of Pillsburry instant frozen biscuits was intentional as they have a flufier and better consitincey than other brands and do not burn in the time frame.

The HoneySuckle White turkey breast is the only precooked cook and serve breast consitently available across stores. Stove Top Stuffing is specifically mentioned becuase it is a quick cooking instant range stuffing that is available across supermarkets.

Stove Top works in this case where as other brands would not becuase it is specifically designed for the range and "quick cooking instant range stuffing" will confuse people.

Fixed the grammer a bit
And perhaps the spelling... what exactly is a convince food? Is it something you convince your family to eat? ;-) --Lexor 15:48, 27 Nov 2003 (UTC)

This is very parochial - if it's purpose is to educate readers how to cook a turkey dinner within one hour, then so be it, however, as it stands it's merely a list of processed food items available in the USA only. The use of the word biscuit is very confusing! --Markb


I did some research on it. These products should be availble in Brazil, Canada, and the US (Although not at US prices except in the US). The Turkey most certainly is. Canada Thanksgiving is celebrated more like Erntedankfest, Certainly celebrated in the US in areas with very high levels of German imigration such as the Missouri Rhineland and St. Louis and in in certain other states, along with Oktoberfest (Celebrated throughout the US often times state-wide as is the case with Missouri) and Halloween (All Harvest end festivals).

It is dubios practice to link American (US, Brazil, Argentina- all observed on the same day) Thanksgiving to the Harvest festivals, except Canada's, since;

1.) It is celebrated in Dec-Nov in all countries except Canada and at first in the US only in New England, where the harvest actually ends by October,

2.) In Brazil(since 1949) and Argentina (Since 1997) it is the end of spring.

3.) Also not noted is that the 2'nd American Thanksgiving, in 1641, was also called "Scalp Day" and it was held becuase the colonist were thankfull for finding suitable Native Americans to sell into slavery and one of the festivities was kicking decaptated heads around. These "Thanksgivings" were often held by each community after each time they defeated the indiginous population. It was Washington who decided that all these "Celebrations" should be held on one day "Thanksgiving". Even when Lincoln established "Thanksgiving" as an official holiday he sent the army against the Sioux.

Ergh... I can't remotely imagine anyone ever being desperate enough to want to make this, or to eat it! Still, I guess it's a big world out there. I hope somebody can give us instructions for a REAL thanksgiving dinner to go along with this fake. (I wouldn't worry about brand names in this instance because it's more a curiosity than a recipe.)

I wouldn't eat it either, but based on the wikipedia article it came from, this is targeted at college students who can't get home for thanksgiving. I suppose we should put together traditional menus for the various holidays, linked to the recipes for those dishes. However, what is traditional is different based on where you are. For example, Californians will often include crab in thanksgiving dinner as the dungeness crab season starts in mid November here, so crab is cheap at that time, but its inclusion in Thanksgiving dinner in Iowa would be unheard of. hrmmm, sounds like a project to consider.

As changed, this is totally useless! It's not a recipe or even a compilation of recipes 'take two cans of chosen vegetables'? What sort of instruction is that?! You might as well delete the timeline.

I believe that this dinner needs something else. How about a fruit salad? I suggest the following: Drain and then combine a can of pineapple chunks with a can of mandarin oranges. Add some crushed walnuts and flake coconut. Slice in a fresh banana. This is an easy salad that would add some variety and some color.
