A Spoonful of Sofrito: Kids Try 100 Years of Thanksgiving Dishes

A Spoonful of Sofrito: A pinch of advice that will add a lot of flavor to your life.

Kids Try 100 Years of Thanksgiving Dishes


Sofrito Lovers,

Happy Thanksgiving (Thanks-TAKING!) to everyone that celebrates this problematic foodie holiday. I'll keep this post light and won't mention how this holiday is incredibly racist and disrespectful to Native peoples.  

Instead, I've chosen to share a post from Bon Appetit titled, "Kids Try 100 years of Thanksgiving Dishes", which I thought was funny, adorable, and interesting. Who knew Oyster shooters, pickled walnuts, and Turnip puree were all once popular Thanksgiving (Thanks-TAKING) side dishes?  I find it simultaneously interesting and gross at the same time.

Check out the video below and laugh a little.  Before you gorge yourself on Turkey, Ham, or Pernil, take a minute to think of the people whose lives have been irreversibly and negatively affected by colonialism, exploitation, and racism.  Let's all be thankful for the people fighting to end these horrible -isms! I know I am grateful for them!  They make our world a new more beautiful place!

Go taste for yourself! ¡Buen Provecho!

Where to Get Your Thanksgiving Turkey, Sides, and More in NYC!


Sofrito Lovers,

If you're too busy, tired, or lazy to cook Thanksgiving (Thanks-Taking more like it) dinner, then check out the post below from GrubStreet. Why cook your own meal when a professional can do it for you? Thanksgiving can be super stressful, why add the anxiety of pleasing a bunch of hungry ungrateful assholes?  Order your bird witjh all the fixings from some restaurant and call it a day!

It's a holiday! Don't spend it in the kitchen! Read the article below, get on your phone, and order your turkey and sides ASAP.  Go taste for yourself! ¡Buen Provecho!


Where to Get Your Thanksgiving Turkey, Sides, and More in NYC


Yes, it’s nice to be chef for the day and make everything for Thanksgiving from scratch. But, also, it’s hard. That’s a lot of food, and sometimes you need a helping hand — or don’t feel like cooking at all — but still want a great meal at home. Or maybe you just need a good turkey, and, oh, a few sides won’t hurt. Whatever, Grub is not here to judge. Also, you’re in luck as a New Yorker: Excellent markets and restaurants around town make it their mission to make your holiday easier by smoking turkeys, baking pies, whipping up sides, and taking care of the whole meal for you.
