1979--Nothing says "coffee and dessert" like...piles of fruit and nuts.
Looking for retro-chic ideas for this Thanksgiving's table setting, we combed the archives of Bon Appétit's turkey-studded issues for inspiration. We soon found, though, that Vintage BA's suggestions were sometimes a little too retro. Maybe you'll find them useful if large fish centerpieces, gelatinous goose skin, and desserts shaped like rodents are your thing, but we've decided to keep our Thanksgiving firmly in the 21st century--and as far away from that vegetable mousse as we can get. --Rachel Stearns
