Dear Luke-- the reason for the marshmallows plus the browned sugar is to make the “CANDIED” part of the candied sweet potatoes. If you are making simple baked sweet potatoes you can leave off the marshmallows. I must say Luke, you are so cute in so many ways.

[@daurissacrank3270]

Marshmallows are imperative to sweet potato casserole 😉

[@pawlieblog7967]

Oh yuck. I absolutely despise candied sweet potatoes any time. In our household, we do natural sweet potatoes and you can add whatever you’d like. I like to pile veggies onto mine, like Brussel sprouts or greens. We do salads at Thanksgiving, and emphasize the fresh veggies so we don’t all feel unhealthy after eating the feast. 🥗

[@donnamaben775]

My Grandson was born early hours of the morning, He's our Happy Thanksgiving Baby. We are very Thankful he is finally here with us. From New Zealand.

[@WhirlyPearly]

My daughter is a Thanksgiving baby as well. Canadian thanksgiving :0) 🍁

[@miriamlorenz7687]

Luke's table setting was mesmerising! I hope you pass on the table setting skills, knowledge and etiquette to your children so the craft is not lost. What a lovely table for your Thanksgiving dinner.

[@donnayoung5133]

No courses, Luke. Food either placed on the table, a sideboard, or kitchen counter--everyone either passes the dishes or stands in line. The turkey may or may not be placed on the table carved...lots of variety in presentation. It can be lots of fun. Yes to marshmallows, too. Happy eating, and Happy Thanksgiving!🦃🇺🇸🇬🇧

[@migueldeferrer2822]

Julie is correct! One uses marshmallows in the sweet potatoes.

[@amerinethorburn1124]

Dinner begins with dishes and utensils clanking and ends with everyone taking a nap. Happy Thanksgiving 🍁 to you and yours.🍁

[@nanabutner]

🤣🤣🤣

[@maryannguess7115]

Beautiful hand etched antique glasses..❤ Just be grateful yall No stress LUKE... OLD AND NEW COMBINED YALL...

[@janebaker966]

That's a lovely setting for your special meal. How great to bring a new tradition to this age old family like your predeccesor Alberta did.

[@silva7493]

I was around before the green bean casserole was ever a thing, at least not in Northern California, I can remember in around 1970, my mom and I were looking at the recipe on a can of Campbell's' Cream of Mushroom soup, and we both thought we'd like to try it for Thanksgiving. The next year rolled around, and we wanted it again. We told friends about it, and brought it to a couple of Thanksgiving dinners we were invited to, it was just the two of us, and we sometimes received kind invitations from friends, and it was always popular. About fifteen or twenty years later or so, it was everywhere. It had become a Thanksgiving staple I have often made it without the can of soup, making the sauce from scratch but I wouldn't say it's a monumental difference. The original recipe called for canned beans, which I don't do. I'm not the kind of cook who measures stuff, and I tweek; I add garlic and whatever else I want, and it's always good.

[@marynimocks6791]

The green beans/mushroom soup/crispy onions and marshmellowed sweet potatoes are straight out of the 50s! Too fun Julie!

[@chanaselwyn9265]

Lol, being an American married to an Englishman you guys Crack me up. I actually lived in Illinois too. Love the English phrases Julie has picked up. Happy Thanksgiving! Brooklyn NY

[@silva7493]

SO beautiful!!! I'm 68 years old, and I've never thought of the candle "secret". It's ingenious!! Wishing a very Happy Thanksgiving, to all.❤

Happy Thanksgiving from Colorado…snow is coming🙏🏻

[@ellenwood719]

Yes, to marshmallows and canned mushroom soup, but Julie, you did a lovely centerpiece!!

[@terrimessa3619]

I am late to the day-love watching the two of you banter back and fourth. Belated happy thanksgiving.

[@cdoyle2291]

My daughter, Kimberly and I love watching all your presentations.

Happy Thanksgiving from Austria!! Unfortunately, no celebrations for me as I am traveling on a train tonight. To all at Mapperton and around the Globe who are celebrating: Enjoy great food and company!! 😊

[@TheSusi1211]

HAPPY thanksgiving from SLC Utah! Thinking of my 10 Pilgrim ancestors and how grateful I am for their strength and perserverance! 🥰

[@maryfrump7937]

Me too. Mine came in on the Anne.

[@lyndarichardson4744]

Happy Thanksgiving to Julie & all the Montagus 🎉❤

[@SouthernPioneer1965]

Always make my own cranberry sauce from scratch. I make all my food from scratch . The sweet potatoes is an absolute must . It my kid’s favorite. I’m a Yankee, so I never heard of it until I married my southern husband. Is mom taught me . But it is absolutely great !

[@donnabaardsen5372]

You're a "hanky?"😂😂😂😂

[@SouthernPioneer1965]

@@donnabaardsen5372 Guess I shouldn’t cook turkey , do dishes and do voice to text on my phone while watching the video 😂😂😂😂 I corrected it , but that was a good laugh. 👍

Happy Thanksgiving from Connecticut!✌️❤️🦃

[@daurissacrank3270]

Happy Thanksgiving from Idaho and California!

[@laurasimmons5879]

Happy Thanksgiving! Ive noticed, when setting the table you put your knife on the outside, we put it right of the plate, blade in and then spoon. My family always have praline yams, butter, brown sugar and pecans. Love the center piece and candles.

[@denisetreser1914]

My sweet potato casserole's topping is 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup flour, 2 and 1/2 tablespoons melted butter, and 1/2 cup chopped pecans (in that order). So good!

[@janetbreckon8211]

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

[@dcal3775]

I'm native Californian, and we've always done salads at Thanksgiving! Love watching the two of you discuss the various things going on in your home. ❤

[@normasaldivar8645]

Love that you celebrate this day in England. Also, love how Luke drives the prep for the celebration. Do you ever get home to the states?

[@donnabaardsen5372]

I lived in Norway for years, and celebrated there, too.

Happy Thanksgiving Julie and Luke. Special wishes to Luke's parents. Ken from Indiana 🇺🇸

What a treat to be a part of your lovely table setting for Thanksgiving, watching here from Los Angeles!

Just the two of us and I don’t cook. But I’m watching and sewing. We go out to eat Friday afternoon. Tomorrow will be Mexican food. Happy thanksgiving ❤️

[@RianShafer]

Happy day after Thanksgiving from the PNW in Washington, USA I've been binge watching your channel all week! 100s at least! I do watch both channels so I'm sure there's a few I have missed. It's been so much more fun & interesting than most of the drivel & even the history I love on your side of the pond. Very real people & history, it's a winner deal to view!

[@lissaallan]

I'm an average American in Scotland and I celebrate on Saturday. We have all the usual and a big dinner with our friends and for the first time our daughter. Your videos give me a bit of joy every week. Thank you so much

Happy Thanksgiving from the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, North Carolina💖🙏💖 So much we could gripe about but sooooo much more to be thankful and so grateful for!!

[@tamicrandall6283]

Happy Thanksgiving! I am really going to be setting my table while watching. It was a complete coincidence.

[@sherryhudson9075]

We have made the homemade cream of mushroom soup for the green bean casserole and it was not as good as the canned. We southerners like to alternate the mini marshmallows and chopped pecans in bands on the sweet potato casserole. We put out everything on the table. No courses at Thanksgiving ❤

[@AtlantaGarden]

Happy Thanksgiving from Georgia, USA. 🦃

[@cathyhurt2524]

Happy Thanksgiving Julie and Luke. Have a wonderful day as a family. Can’t wait to see your pictures of the Christmas Market and your home decorations. Hello from Alabama! Julie southern families use both marshmallows and chopped pecans.

[@marshabailey1121]

I am Canadian and we do not get the marshmallows on yams thing. One odd throwback to the 70s we still have in our family is a jello mold...lemon jello with pineapple and shredded carrots. Because our Thanksgiving is at harvest time (October), we often have squash rather than yams. We'd also give our napkins one additional fold.

[@carylgrundy7814]

My mother used to also fix that exact same jello!

[@Lisa-kb7rz]

No marshmallows fresh sweet potatoes with brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and pineapple juice baked. One of my faves.

[@jennifernash9216]

You are so wonderful. Grateful to you and the community. Happy belated Thanksgiving to you! Table looks lovely!! 💗💗

[@SISSYKAY]

The red candles the best...they match the cranberry sauce. :)

[@vialogan]

Luke, you're funny! Re: the chipboard leaf, you said " Don't tell anyone." You just told 150 thousand people! Love you guys. Ever since I found your channel I've been binge watching starting with a year ago, and it's so much fun!

We sometimes had a delicious Polish green jelly with pecans (I think) in it as well as miniature marshmallows on top.

[@jennysparks7232]

Happy Happy Thanksgiving! I live in New York State. Love ur series.😊

[@leonstevens1382]

Table mats are for informal breakfasts (family only). Table cloths are for formal dinners (dinners with guests). Place plastic sheets beneath the table cloth to protect the table, if you guests are sloppy.

[@aliceputman3260]

I substitute cream of celery soup in green Bean casserole cause we have some non mushroom eaters. Thanks for being here , it’s now August of 24 and u cheered me up!

Happy Thanksgiving Julie, Luke and family! Enjoy your feast and family time together. From Nevada.

[@chriscraver4070]

My daughter made Thanksgiving dinner. Turkey, stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, candied sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, Watergate salad - there are no greens in this, rolls, and macaroni and cheese- a southern thing here in the states. I made pecan and pumpkin pies. I came home with some leftovers. Yummy the next day. The traditional Thanksgiving dinner is pretty much the same here. Hope you enjoyed your meal. Your centerpiece and table settings look beautiful. Love listening to your banter. So cute and funny. Much love from Hiram, GA🇺🇸

Happy Thanksgiving, Montagu family! 🦃🏈🍁🍂🍇🥔🥦🌽🥕🍞🍗🥧🍷 Sweet potatoes or yams with butter and a bit of brown sugar, allspice, and pecans on top are our family's tradition; however, in addition, for those who love their marshmallows, we always provide both as an option.

Love the cottage that Julie recently restored! Esp. Love the sage green inside the cottage. It seems to be a popular color in the UK! I can’t wait to paint my new entrance door that color for my house in Southern California. Btw, Dorset is my favorite county in the Uk! Can’t wait to visit! Love everything about the UK!

Sorry Luke - no courses at an American Thanksgiving! We set everything out on the table for everyone to enjoy. We had a wonderful day with family and hope that you enjoyed your 'American' Thanksgiving with your family.

[@LadyG.]

MARSHMALLOWS. Also: butter, brown sugar, best maple syrup, teeny bit white sugar, cinnamon, simmer to wed flavors, a pinch of salt near end of simmer. All to taste, the different sugars build on each other. Some apple, finely diced, if desired: I use any leftover from apple pie prep, and bake it with cinnamon & sugar, then dice a very little for the sweet potatoe dish. Nuts/pecans I have never used - but sounds good. MARSHMALLOWS need to happen. If not sure - just do them around the edges, or half of the dish, leaving the other half plain.

That table is beautiful and you want to take excellent care of it. Please get table pads for each leaf, put that under the tablecloth. Placemats are so informal, fine for the kitchen, or informal family meals. A table looks so much more festive with tablecloths, and the pads protect the wood from spills, scratches, etc.

[@carolynpredmore5153]

Marshmallows on top of sweet potatoes, of course. And for Thanksgiving and Christmas we have baked apples with brown sugar topping and marshmallows too.
