Tuna For Thanksgiving///

Nothing beats a  full on holiday dinner? There's s yams, salad, rolls and tuna????? Yup. Some people want no part of a dried , stringy fowl or the leftovers attached to it. What some foodies want may not be traditional  but it  can be deemed  a holiday meal, just not in the US,

 The idea was the subject of an article in Wednesday's  revamped New York Times food section.Jeff Gordonier , a regular contributor to the section wrote about this foodie fantasty. He interviewed a number of chefs, gleaning what their holiday would be like if they had had their way.Zac Pellaccio at Food & Game wants plump gleaming oysters and wild mushrooms grilled over the heats. He does desire turkeys but have them cooked rotisserie style  along with stuffing made in a cast iron pot. Sandra Beasley, a poet and author would prefer roast salmon, then have it incorporated into a salad later and much later as a sandwich.Amanda Freitag, the chef at the Empire Diner goes to an entirely different cuisine for her dream Thanksgiving Day dinner. She imagines a Korean style lay out with fried fish splattered with spicy sauce. Instead of cranberries, there would be kimchi and a few other .
 pickled sides.

For those with celiac disease such as Gaven Kayson, the former chef at Café Boulud and now current owner of Spoon and Stable in Minneapolis, the pies and stuffings are a no go. He'd rather have socca xhips with anchovy, along with shrimp, oysters and grilled lamb. Even non chefs like the nurse practioner,Shelley Simons of Atlanta would rather have king crab claws and asparagus,However there are some of us, myself included that like the traditional dinner. However if there are some of you out there who would like a leg of lamb or roast duck instead of the roasted tom, wait until New Year's Day. The relatives will be too sloshed or still in bed when you experiment and sub in something wildly innovative for the usual ham and Hoppin John.

Thanksgiving is always a polarizing holiday.some want turkey and tradition, others want tuna and wild rice.Keep in mind that the holiday is really four days long. If you can't get what you want on the actual day, there's always Black Friday to try out that baked salmon.
