Since the media elite insist upon this obsessive Tiger Woods/White House crashers coverage, I believe it’s my moral obligation to highlight an important election happening here at Comedy Central.
Which Thanksgiving Dinner would you eat?
I’m sure you all remember the On-air promo department’s greatest hits. Julie, Dave, and Tom in our graphics department carry on that proud tradition with this friendly competition. They each took photos of their Thanksgiving plates and asked us for our vote.
And by us, that means you.
Below you’ll find the three entries sans dish descriptions. That is part of the challenge and grave responsibility you must now shoulder. Did your family celebrate with Guinness? Who has corn on the cob for Thanksgiving? What in the hell is that brown stuff? I have no idea. But I saw squash on that plate, so it got my vote.
The right to vote should be enough for you to weigh in here, but we all know it’s not. (Did you know that only 2% of Americans vote in their office Thanksgiving dinner competitions?! Such a shame.) Since there is no dessert on these plates, let’s sweeten the deal.
When you vote for your favorite Turkey Day plate, you’ll be entered to win a copy of one of my very favorite cookbooks, Pie: 300 Tried-and-True Recipes for Delicious Homemade Pie
A few boring rules, 1) Enter your vote once and ONLY once in the comments section of this blog entry. Buuuut… 2) If you Re-tweet this entry, you can get a second entry! Copy and paste your retweet link in a second comment on this blog. Two entries, MAX. 3) Sorry Aussie friends, have to keep this giveaway domestic.
The giveaway starts now and ends Next Friday 12/11, end of day.
Ok, time to show us what you got. Which dinner would you share with the Pilgrims and Indians? One, Two, or Three?

1. is well plated but the Christmas plate has me rushing. 2. made me giggle. 3. is most Thanksgiving-ee to me.
Is that ham and perogies in dinner number 2? That one gets my vote!!
I tweeted! http://twitter.com/NCavillones/status/6338766365
This Ukie has to vote #2, despite the Guinness.
Hmm… I like the inclusion of the veggies on plate #1, but whatever that is next to the sweet potatoes has me baffled. Plate #3 looks good (I think) but I can’t really tell against the hypnotic glow of that tablecloth so I’m gonna have to go with the protien and carb fest that is plate #2. Yum.
Dinner 3 has rice, which…no. Just no. I’m pretty sure pilgrims were foursquare against rice.
Dinner 2 looks like a bleak, last supper prison meal sort of affair, or like someone was cleaning out their fridge.
Dinner 1 looks pretty Thanksgiving-y. That’s my vote!
#1 looks balanced, delicious, and colorful.
Plus it has the Cranberry Sause and dinner roll that #3 is missing. #2 look more like a Super Bowl Dinner. Go #1
I have to go with the traditional Irish Thanksgiving meal. #2 gets my vote.
I vote for #3…but only if it is served pipin’ hot.
I vote #1, ’cause they’re all pretty tasty lookin’, but that one has a sneak little peek of a Rolling Rock bottle in the upper left hand corner, and I gotta applaud that.
Can’t wait to see you at Crafternoon tomorrow!

None of these plates are ideal for me, but I think #3 comes closest because of the huge pile of mashed potatoes and gravy everywhere. Points off for stuffing and the lack of cranberry sauce.
I would have voted for #1 cause it’s mostly veggies. BUT I don’t know what half the stuff on it is! so I’m going with #3 cause it looks more southern (I have no idea wth that means)
Definitely plate 3…… Although I have no idea what half the stuff on the plate is, plate 1 looks staged!!
Plate 3 - I want that rice! But I actually already have this book
Definitely Plate #1 due to the mass quantities of veggies I could save my calorie intake for pie.
i like 3 the best. id eat everything but the peas
okay…. what do these people have against cranberries…. I believe they are the only native fruit in this country…. so Plate #1 almost had my vote, but waaaaay too many veggies. Plate #3 is clearly the nicest plate - but wait - when did someone say we could put rice on the table for Thanksgiving….not in my country Pal…. therefore - for the sheer messiness of it, and the fact that it appears there are TWO kinds of meat - not to mention nothing but carbs - NICE touch to have the Guiness in a can (a meal all to itself) in a glass. I vote for #2. Though I am disturbed by the food at the top of the plate that looks like burritos. Don’t get me wrong - one of the best foods on the planet - hopefully they are filled with cranberries and jello.
plate #1 has cooked carrots and they give me a headache. plate #2 has two kinds of meat and no vegetables which both excites me and taunts me at the same time, plus it has guinness which is a risky choice and that entices me. plate #3 has rice and therefore must be disqualified. so my vote is #2. plate 2.
I like the peaceful feng shui of #2.
Dinner 3. It looks like it would be enough to fill my empty pit of a stomach.
#1… Out. The broccoli to turkey ratio is way off. And you see the plate right?
#3… Out. The peas are center stage on a Thanksgiving Dinner Plate. Just stop it.
#2… The Clear Winner! The perfect side dish to any Thanksgiving Dinner… HAM! And the pierogies don’t hurt either. 2 dinner rolls! It was all washed down with a Guinness Pub Can. Come on, pure awesome! That plate has nap written all over it! And isn’t that what the Holidays are all about?
