A-aron's Thanksgiving Meal Evolution

When I was growing up, we would go to my Aunt Ann and Uncle Bus's ( short for Buster Brown/real name Walter) for Thanksgiving dinner. The spread was elaborate, with no less than ten pies, three different kinds of stuffings and potatoes, with whiskey slushes and fudge galore to wet one's palate before the feast. I have never been a picky eater and will eat pretty much anything except cantaloupe and goulash. Texture people. My younger brothers at the time, were extremely picky, especially my middle brother. He honestly only ate like six foods total and few of those were served at Thanksgiving. My mom tried every trick in the book, in addition to being the hard ass parent, but the kid ended up being malnourished and was under doctor's orders to 'let him eat whatever he wants, he needs calories.' So they did. Even on Thanksgiving. The ironic evolution of thanksgiving dinner according to A-aron.
