I just ordered my complete cooked Thanksgiving dinner from Albertsons.
The cost is about what it would be to order all the parts and pieces
and then still have to cook. I just can't/don't want to cook all that
stuff anymore. It's too hard on me. So, problem solved.
I'll be getting a 12 pound roasted turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes,
gravy and cranberry sauce. We will have leftovers but that is fine.

Good for you.

I'm not sure precisely what we're doing for Thanksgiving. I'm sure some
sort of turkey will be involved.

We don't bother with a lot of sides. Turkey, dressing, gravy, tossed salad. Done.

It's cool to buy thanksgiving dinner from a store. But make sure it
is a genuine kosher jewish deli, or yoose may burn in hell.

A 12 pound turkey costs maybe 7-8 dollars, dressing, mashed, and gravy
are dirt cheap... I really don't care for cranberry sauce, but if
you're lazy there's canned.
I see no big deal to roast a turkey, it roasts itself. A 12 pound
turkey is no more difficult than roasting a large chicken.
I find a Thanksgiving dinner the least laborious and least expensive
dinner there is. We tried Thanksgiving dinner at a fancy schmancy
restaurnat twice, never again... the bar bill was more than the meal.
Truth be told Thanksgiving dinner at a fancy schmancy eatery is no
better than a TV turkey dinner... actually a TV dinner at home is far
FAR better. Ya know, you can get a better turkey dinner from Chewy.

Let us know how their dressing is, please.

I'll be traveling to my niece's new house 30 miles away for turkey day.
A cooked ham will ride along with me and anything else she may ask
me to bring.

Sounds like a plan.

I do hope it turns out better than what happened when I was a teenager
and my mother didn't feel like cooking Thanksgiving dinner. She saw an
ad in the Sunday paper: Let Kroger Do It For You. Ads on TV, too.
Turkey and all the fixin's. IIRC it sure looked tasty! So she ordered
ahead, to be picked up on Thanksgiving day. The assumption was, of
course, it would be a fully cooked meal. My brother and I went with her
to pick it up. Carrying the box to the car my brother said, "This box
is very cold." We opened up the box in the trunk and everything in it
was frozen solid. The turkey, side dishes, everything. Mom was not a
happy camper! She marched that box right back in and demanded her money
back.

We went to another store. We had steaks and baked potatoes for
Thanksgiving dinner that year.

That's like the movie Christmas Story/ The neighbor's dogs ate the
turkey sot the family went out for Chinese dinner.
BTW, it does say fully cooked

That's an amazing story. When I was a kid stores were closed on Sundays
and holidays.

Albertson's means it when they advertise a fully cooked Thanksgiving
dinner.

What can I say? In the 1970's some grocery stores stayed open until 3PM
on holidays such as Thanksgiving and Christmas. Thanksgiving has never
been on a Sunday so that's a moot point. They stayed open until 3PM so
people could pick up last minute things for their holiday meals. I
don't remember exactly what time we went to pick up this dinner but it
was certainly too late to thaw a turkey and all the sides and have it
the same day. That night we ate steaks.

They were talking about a complete cooked meal, which one would expect
to be delivered in time for dinner, not early enough to go out to the
store.

My mother and sister bought one a few years ago. It was fully
cooked but all cold. Still had to heat it all up at home.
They were expecting a hot meal, ready to eat.
They should have asked about that.

We always served Sunday and holiday dinners around 2 pm when I was a kid.

Now I time them to be ready at 5:30-6.

Chinese restaurants don't close on other people's holidays.... in NYC
on the Jewish high holy days is when they do their best business...
that's when they sell tons of shrimp and pork.

Yep, Jewish Christmas meal is Chinese food is a stereotype. I have to
trust the movies for that because I have always had a home cooked
Christmas dinner and have never been by a Chinese restaurant on Christmas.

I don't doubt it. There was an A&W across from my high school. The
Jewish kids would order the burgers with cheese and bacon, the stuff
they never got at home.

At most, here in the US, maybe 155-20% of Jews keep kosher, so
anecdotes like this are pretty useless...and basically bullshit.

I did so once. We were visiting my in-laws. When some of the brothers
started smoking in the house prior to dinner my husband had an asthma
attack and we returned to our hotel. I got Chinese takeout and brought
it back. The restaurant was hopping busy.

Here in St. Louis, the Chinese takeout places don't close on Christmas
*unless* Christmas happens to be on a Sunday. Christmas or not, they
are closed on Sunday.

But do those Chinese cook kosher? Chinese will eat anything they can
catch.

I don't know, but I can imagine that in the 50s (Sheldon's frame of
reference) and on a Jewish religious holiday, the chance of a Jewish
person eating kosher is bigger than normal.

Heating up would have been expected. Frozen solid in the box was not.

Hardly a statistic but some Jewish families did just that on holidays,
serving traditional meals. I only know of one family that did not cook
on the sabbath, back then I don't know if stoves even had sabbath mode.

Few Jewish businesses closed on the sabbath too as it was usually the
busiest day of the week in retail.

One Jewish deli we went to had a special slicer in the back for slicing
ham, nothing else. They wanted to accommodate their customers.

There were some kosher restaurants too, one being the Ambassador. It
was not big or fancy but the waiters were older gentlemen and very
classy. Reopened but I don't think it is the same.
https://www.inquirer.com/food/ambass...-20191003.html

Speaking of timeworn: If you say €œAmbassador€� and €œSeventh and Girard€�
to those of a certain age, theyll think of blintzes and whitefish
platters. The Ambassador was a kosher dairy restaurant on the southwest
corner from the 1940s through 1975.

many stoves required matches to light, and Jewish families relied on

Yeah, bullshit as in bullshit. You're a right wing bigot, so, ya know,
I *do* consider the source, and you seem to adore pretending to be
some Canadian Dollar Store version of TMZ with crap like this, but,
yeah, you are full of bullshit. I realize you have a lot of company
around here, but it is still bullshit.

I have been to kosher Chinese restaurants IN NYC in years past. I have
not seen one in ages and ages, so do not know if they still exist.

Sheldon is a lying asshole. You should know that. Sheldon almost never
says anything factual about Jews. Frankly, he doesn't know much about
the religion or its practices and traditions.

An observant Jew who keeps kosher is not likely to break kashruth this
way- either in a Chinese restaurant for a Christian holiday, or for
"fun" mixing dairy and meat products or similar. Anyone who does that
is not keeping kosher.

Now then, there are a lot of Jews who simply do not observe dietary
laws and who pretty much eat whatever and whenever they please.
TWIAVBP and Jews run the gamut from very religious to atheists.

I worked in the garment district in Manhattan for years. The area had
a lot of kosher restaurants (that is where one of the Chinese ones I
recalled was located), but my fondest memories of lunching in that
area come from those dairy restaurants. I adored them.

Or the Sabbath meal was started before sundown on Friday evening and
left to cook in the oven on a low heat, so no lighting of a flame was
required.

A dish called cholent was made this way and popular among some
Ashkenazi Jews. Middle eastern and North African Jews had other
variations of meals that could be started before the Sabbath started

When I ran a yarn shop, I used to visit wholesalers on the lower East

been in the area for a long time, so don't know if they're still there.

Yes, when Sheldon says something, that's a strong indication that the

And kosher pizzarias too.
A few years ago, a local rabbi had a hankering for a pizza from a
particular NY restaurant and had a pizza Fedexed.

The lower east side is so gentrified now, you'd be surprised to find
too much you'd recognize.
