Who Hates Cranberry Sauce?

Thanksgiving is, hands-down, my favorite holiday. There's none of the stress of gift-giving, and everyone is happy and relaxed and (at least in my family) pretty much ready to party. And the food? Ohmygod. Comfort food times ten: turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, endless pies... And then, there's that horrific spoiler, cranberry sauce, that ruins an otherwise perfect Thanksgiving table year after year. Ugh.

The addition of the leaf garnish does NOT make this jellied excuse for a side dish any more appealing. And it can’t get any worse than just dumping it out, straight from the can, ridges still intact.

Really? THIS is what you’re trying to serve me? I spit on you.

This ain’t much better, people. Albeit more natural, I have yet to taste this version and still like it.

It’s still gelatinous and weird. Bleh.

Yes, folks, I live in the very state where cranberries are super abundant. And where Ocean Spray manufactures their own version of the horror known as cranberry sauce.

Don't get me wrong...

Cranberry bogs are super cool. And it’s not the cranberry itself I have an issue with. It’s the cranberry sauce, folks. The sauce.

Are you with me? And if you’re not, change my mind. I dare you.

I sort of LOVE IT. I know it’s terrible, I know.

I like it! Only the jellied kind though…the sound it makes coming out of the can too!
