How many different foods are usually on your Thanksgiving table?

Whether you cook or someone else does, how many different foods are there to pick from? You don’t have to list them all (but feel free to do so) you can just give a number.

Bread counts and so do chips, crackers and dips. Please separate out food that is presented at your arrival before the main meal starts. Give a number for both. Gravy counts too.

When I cook thanksgiving I make, turkey, gravy, stouffing, potato somehow, green beans somehow, cranberry jello, and often buy a ham to serve as well. One or two dessert options. If my parents are there I add baked sweet potato. So that’s 10 or 11 items. I don’t serve bread or put out any sort of appetizers.

My MIL added a couple non traditional Thanksgiving foods this time, but didn’t subtract anything, except that she never makes the cranberry, sometimes I bring it, but not this year. The amount of preparation is overwhelming for me to watch. I think there will be 12 different foods/dishes, including dessert. She was going to do an antipasto type thing also, and I talked her out of it.
