We all know that Thanksgiving is also known as Turkey Day, but that doesn't mean that turkey is the only option for the main course. Different families have different practices and traditions they hold onto during the holidays. Moreover, some options have symbolic meaning. For instance, eating a heart to bring love, a brain to bring knowledge, or guts (stomach or intestines) to bring courage. If you live near a butcher or farm, it may be an option for you to request the least bought items (heart, tripe, intestines, tail, leg, etc.) in order to spend less money if your family is facing hardships this holiday season. Some people host a large gathering with many family members and friends, while others just have a dinner alone or with a loved one. Vegans and vegetarians may not have as many options as others, while some people have medical or religious dietary restrictions. Included in this list is a variety of choices.
