Thanksgiving Dinner Classification

Gobble! Gobble!  As you think about what you will serve for Thanksgiving, consider the recent information provided by the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF).  The American Farm Bureau Federation stated that the average cost of the 2011 Thanksgiving meal would show a 13% increase, which brings the cost of a meal to feed 10 people to $49.20, a $5.73 increase from the 2010 average of $43.47.  Don’t let the numbers get you down, because the price is still less than $5 a person.  If the numbers are alarming, consider cutting back to avoid the leftovers and the extra holiday pounds,  invite more people to enjoy the feast with you or bypass the cooking and volunteer to serve meals at a local charity!     

In honor of the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday and the lack of any exciting news to report, we thought it would be fun to classify a Thanksgiving meal.  We might as well exercise our brains a little before sitting down to the big feast!   Since this is a non-profit educational blog, we don’t have any great prizes to offer, but we’ll be happy to publish the names of the contributors who provide answers to the questions.   Post your classifications for the items on our shopping list, suggest other food items and share your plans for the holiday in the “comments” section.  Let’s get started!
