This is what I figure. Holly's a bit of a food wanker. She likes doing fancy food, so I can't see her not trying to do something with her first ever big entertaining meal.
These families may both be whitey-white, but they're also New Yorkers. Admittedly, my New York friends-circle is heavily weighted towards lapsed Jews and ex-pats and hippies, but they're all far more worldly and food-experimental than the American TV standard. I wouldn't be surprised if they were used to full traditional at home with their parents, but with most of the middle-aged and younger, I'd be surprised if they didn't put their own stamp on the meal.

Thanks E!
I do love that this has become a debate.
