November 9, 2015
A satisfying Thanksgiving dinner with only minimal time for gathering foods, preparing them or cleaning up is a tradition in itself thanks to Purdue Dining & Catering at Purdue Memorial Union. "Thanksgiving Made Easy" by pre-ordering is a great choice when time, talent or situation makes cooking a big meal impractical.
"Thanksgiving Made Easy," available through 10 p.m. Nov. 20 for pickup Nov. 24 or 25, offers a variety of items and quantities to fit any situation and number. Patrons can order a turkey, complete meals or a la carte items including choice among five entrees, seven side dishes, five types of breads or rolls, six sweets/desserts, two party trays, dip and cider. All hot foods are ready to heat and eat.
Some dining options:
* Complete meals are available to feed two, four or eight people, and include a choice among three pre-sliced entrees. Meals also include seven sides such as turkey gravy and dinner rolls.
* Vegetable or fruit trays are available as a light snacking option for before or after the big meal.
* The a la carte menu provides customers with a variety of choices for bringing a side to an event or for serving more dishes than kitchen space or time allows. Side dishes are all traditional favorites, including the Union's well-known "Kay's Sweet Potatoes."
* The Union Deluxe option provides the entire meal for eight to 10 people with 30 percent savings. This option includes a whole turkey, nine sides and a choice of a dessert.
