An Azerothian Thanksgiving - 2016

Every year I host Thanksgiving for the extended family, and every year I have a theme. I also play a lot of World of Warcraft, and there is an analogous holiday in-game, Pilgrim's Bounty. This year, Blizzard Entertainment released an official WoW Cookbook, which includes five themed foods that players cook as part of PB:

Slow Roasted Turkey
















Spice Bread Stuffing


Candied Sweet Potatoes



And pumpkin pie, which I don't have patience for. But I will make the brown sugar whipped cream from that recipe for my pies.

Hence my theme, and the title of this post, "An Azerothian Thanksgiving". Now, my menu generally has more to it that those 5 dishes, so I have scoured the cookable recipes in-game as well as foods that can be bought or harvested. To those above I add the following:

Conjured Croissants - Pillsbury croissants. <shrug> But I pair them with freshly churned I Can't Believe It's Butter.

Sauteed Carrots - recipe from WoW cookbook

Crudite tray

Relish tray


















Desserts:
  • Store-bought pumpkin pie
  • Store-bought apple pie
