My mothers coleslaw was very finely chopped and very creamy. My husband thought it was unusual at first, but now he can't imagine not having it. Its great the next day as part of a sandwich, we put Turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce and coleslaw on a nice hearty bread. We have always had coleslaw at Thanksgiving.

What we do have, though, is turkey (or ham or, this year, brisket), stuffing, cranberry sauce, candied yams, cornbread casserole (everyone's aunt makes this, right?), and baked ziti. Coming from a very Italian family, we mix our family dishes with the American specialties -- always a huge win!

We're about 35 people all together and I get to cook the turkey this year! We're happy just to be together and have a great meal, pass the babies around and celebrate with our 101 year old and 90 year old great grammas We always have coleslaw—with mayo, hard boiled egg, green onions and shrimp (in addition to turkey, “funeral potatoes”, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, homemade croissants and marmalade, cider and Mom’s pumpkin/mince/apple pies).

We have turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, sweet potato souffle, green bean casserole, my mom's rainbow jello mold, our family grape salad (grapes, pineapple, mini marshmallows, whipped cream, eggs, lemon juice and sugar), rolls, pies and whatever else sounds good. This year I made "pilgrim pies" which are pumpkin cookies with cream cheese frosting sandwiched between the cookies. I’ve actually never heard of coleslaw as a Thanksgiving tradition!

And now I see he's not alone! Too funny! My family eats cabbage products for New Year's. It's supposed to be for good luck.
