If not, what would she make or include that is not traditional?

I can picture June working a "surprise" vegetable into the jello salad.....likely a Bronson family legacy.
And perhaps some "way over the top" desert such as banana-pecan cobbler.....something so appealing that despite being way over stuffed already, you HAVE to eat a piece anyway, and she gets a thrill from watching you suffer through it

Vegetable like Brussel sprout? Would Beaver ever know?

OH Nuts!

She’d definitely include a Brussels Sprouts casserole - just for Beaver lol.

I was thinking perhaps something more along the lines of shredded kohlrabi, or artichoke.
Something that would contribute taste, but not be visually recognizable.

LOL, personally.....I have always loved broccoli, enjoyed lima beans, liked spinach, even tolerated cauliflower....and gradually learned to like asparagus...

But brussel sprouts are something I always had to choke down.....Only recently did I try them battered and deep fried.....much better that way than I previously was accustomed to

I also wouldn't put it past June to hide some deep sea scallops in the dressing.

I think Aunt Martha's T'giving specialty was stewed kale. Since she came down from Riverside for the holiday, I'm sure she brought that irresistible dish.

She was a little batty, truth be told...

Yes, and she brought a bat with her, to make sure everyone ate their kale.

OH Nuts!

As a bonus in this tumultuous year, she brings her famous-in- Riverside turnip casserole.

(Beaver politely excuses himself and heads for the bathroom)

OH Nuts!

And when Aunt Martha does, June serves her very special Pepto Bismal milkshakes.

LOL - June was becoming a princess - she'd probably have Miss Manners come over and cook, so she would not mess up her nails ... btw (lame name for hired help though Margie Manners was a cutie)

so ya, I dislike the later years June that has a cleaning lady and snoops around too much, and has Ward be the Bad Guy +- ... ( my bad attitude toward June may has be exaggerating some here)

Margie was played by cutie Candy Moore, who had bit parts in virtually every sitcom of the time. Her only regular role (I know of) was a couple of seasons as the older child Chris on the Lucy Show.

Neither did Wally, after June stepped in and got Margie's mother to come over.

Is that Candy Moore?

Mrs. Haskell would be cooking squab.

Yes, Eddie couldn't stay at the Cleavers' for dinner because at home Agnes was making squab. (Have you ever noticed when June was in the living room talking to Marlene, she said the dinner was ready?--guess it cooked itself, or Margie or Mrs. Manners were helping again. This also happened in a later episode with Agnes Haskell.)

Also maybe one of them closed the front door after June, in the season 5 opener. The FB crowd really agonizes over that!
