So it turns out I'll be spending thanksgiving alone this year. Should I get take out? I don't want to be that weird guy getting takeout alone on thanksgiving. Is it possible to cook a thanksgiving dinner for one?

last year I was alone for thanksgiving and got some chinese takeout, was pretty comfy. no one gives a shit if you're getting takeout alone.

but yes it's also entirely possible to cook a thanksgiving dinner for one. just grab some turkey breast and make a few sides. depending on how comfortable with cooking you are you can just grab some instant stuffing or mashed potatoes which are impossible to fuck up. if you want specific cooking advice then /ck/ should have a few thanksgiving threads up.

Why don't you just make an incredible meal for yourself.

Since you're only cooking for 1, you could drop some cash on really nice shit and not have to worry about not getting enough or people not paying you back.

-cornbread stuffing
-sauteed brussels sprouts with garlic and parmesan
-fresh buttered dinner rolls

There's your base. What's your nostaligic soft spot after that? Green bean casserole? Do that and add a few extra minutes to your time. Yams or sweet potatoes? Do that and just start them early so you don't add much time. Homemade cranberry sauce? A few minutes of prep, tops. Glazed carrots? 10 minutes.

A perfectly easy, customizable, Thanksgiving Dinner for 1 or 2 within an hour. And before you bitch about pies or whatever, I've rarely met a homemade pie that would disgrace a $4 whatever from a grocery store. Or make it apple or cherry or do a peach drop cobbler with a few extra minutes.

And if you like all the "snacky" buildup to the actual dinner, how much does that really take to put together? Chipped beef with horseradish? Celery and peanut butter? Olives and pickles? Smokies and BBQ sauce? A cracker and cheese plate? Minutes a piece, if that.

The contemporary United States holiday of Thanksgiving is based on a specific feast the English settlers of Plymouth and the Wampanoag Confederacy of Native American tribes held to cement their alliance in 1621 in what is now the State of Massachusetts. Their relationship was a bit rocky as they were mainly doing this out of personal gain, as the Plymouthans were given knowledge of vital agricultural techniques for the area and the Wampanoags received the military might of the settlers with their guns and cannons to help fight the rebelling Narragansett Tribe, but ultimately, two very different groups of people really did come together and had a feast. The head of the Wampanoags, Massasoit, even eventually became personal friends with some of the settlers after they nursed him back to health from an illness. The reason why this event has been well-remembered and is a major part of American lore is probably due to the affinity of the idea that European settlers and Native American tribes could coexist and the Plymouthan's strive for religious freedom. Half of the settlers, and the primary financiers of the voyage, were devout Christians who went against the Church of England and were often punished for their beliefs. The idea of them leaving their home continent behind to be able to practice what they believed resonates with Americans' long-held virtue of religious freedom.
The holiday has been criticized by many leftists in the past few decades due to the war (King Phillip's War) the Wampanoags and the Englishmen had over fifty years later which saw many Wampanoags dying and losing their political power, but the Wampanoags certainly liked the white man's cannons when they were pointed at the Narragansetts.
The idea is to thank God for the blessings he has given us, just as the Plymouthans thanked God for preserving them through the first year of settlement, which had about half of them dying due to the harsh conditions that they were unprepared for.
