It's interesting to see how much vegetable dishes have changed over the years.
People actually ate a lot of vegetables in the 1950s, despite the popularity of jello salads. But many of the recipes relied on fats - butter, creams, bacon, cheeses, as per the old recipes.
To get a sense of what was typical on a Thanksgiving dinner table we looked into vintage veggie recipes.
Here are some blast-from-the-past recipes you'll likely remember from your own childhood - or heard your parents and grandparents talk about (and you may still eat today at your Thanksgiving dinner):
Braised celery hearts
Creamed peas and carrots
Steamed roasted acorn squash
Creamed onions
Pear salad (complete with Maraschino cherry on top)
Potatoes
Sweet and Sour green beans
Swiss cheese and tomato bake
