On Thanksgiving Day, it's a tradition in most households to abstain from eating before the feast to to "save your appetite". Thinking about those creamy mashed potatoes and gravy, cranberry sauce, and a beautifully roasted turkey makes your mouth water. Consider serving a cheese platter and all its fixings for a pre-dinner appetizer. It's a great way to curb everyone's "hanger" and encourage your guests to munch and mingle.
