Transcript: 00:00:00 Xochitl You are listening to the Jack and Chill podcast. 00:00:13 Xochitl Alright, Jack, today we are going to be talking about Thanksgiving, which our listeners may or may not know is a family holiday celebrated here in the US. 00:00:23 Xochitl It traditionally was supposed to commemorate. 00:00:27 Xochitl Sharing between the pilgrims and Native Americans, of course, we know that. 00:00:32 Xochitl That's not historically accurate at all. 00:00:35 Jack Right. Or it's a very oversimplified description of the situation, yeah. 00:00:41 Xochitl The situation but. 00:00:44 Xochitl Today, it's kind of divorced from its original meaning mostly, and it's kind of just a family holiday where you eat food together. So. 00:00:53 Jack Right. 00:00:56 Xochitl Yeah, I want to ask you, our viewers may or may not know there's some typical things you usually eat during Thanksgiving. I would say Turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, gravy. 00:01:06 Jack Mashed mashed. Yeah. 00:01:12 Xochitl I think those are the ones that like you basically can't skip. 00:01:16 Jack Right. 00:01:17 Xochitl And and then each family has. Sorry, go ahead. 00:01:18 발표자 3 It's just. 00:01:21 Jack No, I was going to say that's exactly right. If there's no stuffing that it doesn't really. It's like that's one really important component of, like, Turkey Mashed potato, stuffing and cranberry sauce like you. 00:01:33 Jack Have to have. 00:01:33 Xochitl Like cranberry sauce gravy gotta have that. 00:01:36 Xochitl And then most people have something green, like a green beans or a salad or some kind of green side. But I would feel those are like the. 00:01:44 Xochitl Staples. And then each family has things that pretty much just their family makes. Oh, sweet potato casserole or sweet potatoes. And some preparation is another big popular food. Yeah. 00:01:49 Jack Right. 00:01:55 Xochitl I would say for the ones that my family makes, it's Kush which is like a cornbread dish with hard boiled eggs and green onion. 00:02:06 Xochitl And then oysters, which is like oysters, literally strained canned oysters in a casserole dish with like, a bread crumb topping. 00:02:18 Xochitl It's really good, you know both. 00:02:18 발표자 3 OK. 00:02:20 Xochitl Of them sound weird, but they're both really delicious. 00:02:22 Jack Yeah, yeah. I mean we, our, our weird one was lesa because we're the Scandinavian, right? My, my fan no left side is like a a potato pancake with just it just literally has butter on it and then sugar and then you roll it, roll it up. Yeah. I mean it's it's. 00:02:40 Xochitl That sounds good. 00:02:44 Jack It's full on, like causes diabetes, you. 00:02:47 Jack Know what I? 00:02:47 Jack Mean like you could trace it right back to to that. But but it's so good. It tastes so good. 00:02:48 발표자 Right. 00:02:55 Xochitl Right. So my oh, and my thing is ever since I started making the Thanksgiving spread pretty much on my own, I started doing this since I was about 24 every year, I pretty much make the whole spread on my own. This year, my mom made the oysters, which were probably the best thing, actually. 00:03:16 Xochitl Besides that, I've pretty much made everything else myself. 00:03:20 Xochitl And ever since I started making this spread myself, I only make fried chicken instead of Turkey. 00:03:26 Jack OK, wow. Alright. A substitution. A different bird. Yeah. 00:03:30 발표자 Yes. Yeah. 00:03:32 Xochitl Yeah, I just Turkey is like a lot for a kind of smaller family gathering. I don't like the flavor as much. And then for like, one person cooking most of the main dishes, it's really hard for, like, one person to prepare the Turkey on their own pretty much. 00:03:48 Jack And everyone likes fried chicken. 00:03:49 Xochitl Is this something? 00:03:51 Jack I mean you can. 00:03:52 Xochitl Ohh yeah. 00:03:53 Xochitl Co
