Are these the typical thanksgiving side dishes? Not necessarily your family specialities or newfangled things you're trying to get Auntie Beryl to try, but the ones you'd expect to see on most people's tables.
southern girl here so we do our corn as Cheese Grits Casserole. Even made it with my daughter who was hundreds of miles away on Skype. That was fun!
I like a green salad with every meal so we also have spinach salad with warm bacon dressing and mandarin oranges.
no potatoes this year and no rolls as we had cornbread/sausage dressing which was enough carbs
I've made corn pudding and no one ever liked it much but me. I think it's delicious. Love Cheese Grits! I like any grits. I like the green bean casserole, also. There aren't many foods I don't like but if I don't care for them I don't eat them.

That's pretty standard for us, except we do broccoli casserole and no corn casserole, oh and if it's just the 4 of us, no candied yams. I'm the only one in the house that will eat yams/sweet potatoes. If we have others here, I will do a sweet potato casserole. No marshmallows. Topping is chopped pecans and brown sugar. And for dessert it's pecan pie and usually a chocolate fudge pie.
Huh, I've lived in the southeast all my life but haven't come across corn pudding. The recipe says its a Kentucky staple, so maybe I just haven't wandered far enough north.

Baked sweet or white potatoes rather than mashed or candied are common with us.
We ALWAYS have succotash.
Crescent rolls out of the tube are de rigeur. My sister's kids eat nothing else. (Literally.)
Cranberry relish AND whole-berry cranberry sauce.
Long grain & wild rice with the standard seasonings, or brown rice cooked in OJ with dried berries and tossed with chestnuts and apples.
Baked winter squash, usually with the orange glaze.
Cranberry bread, sometimes.
We always had them on Thanksgiving, it goes so well with the turkey. That was a Michigan thing. Since moving to Texas, I can rarely find decent sized rutabagas, and the taste is lacking. Perhaps the Michigan soil? Well, for those who are wondering, WTH is a rutabaga, its a yellow turnip. Just boil, mash, salt, pepper, butter. Nice if you can find.....
