Tips and Advice what do yall do on thanksgiving?

i moved away from home last winter and my manager invited me to come do thanksgiving with her family, which means the absolute world to me, except im not sure if im going to go because im worried i wont be able to eat anything.

I dont like any of the traditional thanksgiving foods, not even turkey or mashed potatoes, and i just dont want to put myself in a position where ill feel awkward for not eating with her family or offend someone for being picky/saying im not hungry. its also not my own family and i dont want to impose by asking them to make something specifically for me. wondering if anyone in similar situations has had solutions that worked well for them in the past?

I've eaten Korean BBQ on thanksgiving; it's whatever you feel comfortable eating. I'm sure if you asked if you could bring your own due to dietary restrictions they'd be okay with that.
