yum! ya'll are making me hungry
We don't really do any non-traditional foods for Thanksgiving/Hanukkah/Christmas (although this year my father-in-law made rack of lamb for T-day
).
I get creative on Passover, though. I always make an Indian curry, in addition to the "stuff you have to have" (matzo, bitter herbs, etc) and the "stuff you have to have otherwise your mother-in-law has a fit" (matzo ball soup, bird, veggies, really awful desserts). The bird appeases the in-laws; I eat the curry.
