The main dish was usually a ham, always a spiral sliced home baked honey glazed ham baked in the Nesco or similar type roaster, although you can use the oven if you don't have a roaster. We preferred the roaster because it leaves the oven free for other dishes and doesn't heat up the kitchen nearly as much. Sometimes we would have baked chicked along with the ham, but ham was almost manadatory.
We usually had a variety of side dishes including sweet potato custard, mashed potatoes, sweet carrots, stewed yellow squash, baked beans, and green beans. If the green tomatoes were in yet, we would also have fried green tomatoes as well. Of course you have to have cornbread and a salad to go with it too. We always have more desserts than we can possibly eat with the favorite being pecan pie. Don't forget the ice tea!
Remember, it is important that the whole family sit down to eat together. This is a family holiday not a cafeteria holiday!
