That's because you've never had it with vodka!

My mother makes her own cranberry sauce every Thanksgiving. I'm with you, SV. Homemade or canned, the stuff does NOT appeal to me. Since I usually host Thanksgiving, I often forget to even buy it, since we won't eat it. Then my mother-in-law started bringing her own can, and I got the hint.

That's a natural diuretic. I know because my wife used to drink it during her period.

What is it, your period?

I never liked cranberry juice either. When I was first married that was my husband's constant drink.

I could live without cranberries on Thanksgiving, but usually still have it because it's traditional, and my family only eats very little of it. I do make this great jello though with both strawberries and cranberries in it and everyone seems to like that. But juice alone, or even the berry itself...nope!!!As a matter of fact the only juices I really like are orange and tomato.

I like cranberry juice. Also apple cranberry juice, grape cranberry juice. But I don't eat cranberry sauce.

Cranberry juice has been acknowledged by doctors to have beneficial effects for people who suffer from chronic (or recurring) bladder inflammation.

Around 25 years ago, my ex-girlfriend had these problems and was always drinking cranberry juice. I'm not sure if this is something that affects women primarily, but the juice definitely helps.

Yes, it does, SV. It has something to do with balancing the Ph.

Cranberry juice is supposed to be helpful for many things, but the problem is those Ocean Spray "cocktails" are only 10% juice.... you're better off taking a supplement...

Damn, I use a quote from the Departed and no one notices.

You know what I can't stand?

When I go to the supermarket to do my food shopping, and there are fat people using those motorized shopping carts out of laziness. It makes me crazy. They're honking at me, blocking me from getting what I need, then I see them out in the parking lot and they're moving around better than I do.

I know it's the food thread, but it's almost related.

Fat bastards.
