Her Signature Dish
This tweet is so accurate it hurts. We all have a favorite Thanksgiving dish or recipe. On the other hand, we all have a Thanksgiving dish we absolutely despise. For some reason, this dish, whatever it may be, appears at every holiday family event. It survives dinner largely untouched, only to resurface again next year. Simon paints a picture for us with this tweet.
He describes an origin story for these hated Thanksgiving dishes that is guaranteed to bring a certain relative of yours to mind. According to Simon, as we speak, “there is an aunt buying all the ingredients for that thing she brings every Thanksgiving that everyone in the family hates.” No one is ever going to tell her that no one likes her cooking. It would be too cruel.
