Here's a question for you all, part etiquette, part brainstorm:


Say you're invited to Thanksgiving dinner, and the enthusiastic and well-meaning host vehemently insists that you bring nothing. However, you're painfully aware that going to an event like this empty-handed will cause your dear-departed mother to roll over in her grave (not an easy feat, given that she was cremated) AND will lead to feelings of inadequacy and embarrassment.

What do you do?

Currently, my plan is to bring a nice flower arrangement for the table, and a bottle of wine. I'll probably do that regardless of the responses here, but I'm looking for something more. Something different. Something a little less obvious than wine and flowers.

C'mon people! Throw some ideas at me!

While I agree that it is, indeed, impossible to go wrong with Jaffa Cakes, finding them might be a bit out of [info]misplacedmind's way. (Although they can be bought at our international grocery store, which is primarily East Asian but has a rather large British section.)
