What will you bring for Thanksgiving?

Question

Thanksgiving in the United States is coming up on November 24th. Many people will have a large dinner with their families, traditionally including turkey and many side dishes. This typically means the family members must coordinate who's going to bring each of the various dishes. In this challenge, the goal is to write a polyglot that outputs a different dish in each language it's run in.

Menu

(Selected from Wikipedia. In case it's not obvious, each line is one item.)

turkey
stuffing
dressing
cranberry sauce
mashed potatoes
gravy
winter squash
sweet potatoes
corn
green beans
green bean casserole
mac and cheese
macaroni and cheese
salad
rolls
biscuits
corn bread
pumpkin pie
apple pie
mincemeat pie
sweet potato pie
pecan pie
apple cider
sweet tea

Rules

• Each submission must run in at least 3 languages, each of which must output a different item from the menu. You may not use multiple versions of the same language (e.g. Python 2 and Python 3 cannot be used in the same answer).
• Each entry must have the same bytes in each language's encoding. For example, ɱ is byte 0x1D in Jelly's encoding, which corresponds to ¢ in 05AB1E's encoding.
• Different languages may use different output methods, but entries must be full programs in all languages, and follow one of our default allowed IO methods.
• No programs may take input, but any of the programs may print to STDERR or throw runtime/compile time errors and warnings as long as the correct output is still printed to STDOUT or a file.
• Case and whitespace do not matter. For example, an output of GreenbeAN S would still count as green beans.
• As the central dish of every¹ American Thanksgiving meal is turkey, one language must output turkey (ignoring case and whitespace).

Scoring

The submission that produces unique valid outputs in the most languages wins. In case of a tie, the shortest of the tied entries in bytes wins.

^{1. Yes, turkey is not the only main dish, but we're going to pretend it is.}

Answer 1

Pyke, Pyth, Python 2, Foo, Brain****, GolfScript, Actually, <><, Gol<><, Seriously, Befunge, Fission, Haystack, 13 languages, 546 bytes

When I saw the other 10 11 12 language answer, I had to add an extra one two 3. I'm also seriously considering dropping Pyth if only to save on bytes. (at the moment 162 of them)

Pyke: Try it here! rolls

Relevent line of code:

#s[\g\r\a  \v\y)w.q)\r\o\l\l\ssp00/;oooooooo'stuffing;oooooo~'`turkey'

#s[\g\r\a  \v\y)w.q) - effectively a comment because # doesn't do anything with an empty stack
\r\o\l\l\ss - sum("r", "o", "l", "l", "s")
p - print(^)
00/ - raise a ZeroDivisionError to stop running code

Pyth: Try it here! gravy

Relevent line of code:

#s[\g\r\a  \v\y)w.q)\r\o\l\l\ssp00/;oooooooo'stuffing;oooooo~'`turkey'

#...) - while True:
s[\g\r\a  \v\y) - sum(["g", "r", "a", "v", "y"])
w - input()
.q - quit

All the )'s are for Pyth to make it compile without erroring on no input.

Python 2: corn

Line 1 is a whole comment

Line 2 prints "corn" and then has a comment

Line 3 has a string literal and then a comment

Line 4 onwards are comments

---

Foo: Try It Online! biscuits

Foo prints out anything enclosed in double quotes ("). In this case I was careful to only include languages that could cope with other forms of string input (Special case for Befunge). If there was any text after the final ", that would be printed too.

---

Brain****: Try It Online! salad

I copied the output of constant string generator. I had to escape all . characters with .q so it would play with Pyth and w. so it would play with Pyke. I added some extra - characters so the cells would get to the right points before printing at another . character in the 3rd line

GolfScript: Try It Online! cornbread

In GolfScript, # is a comment until end of line.

What GolfScript interpreter sees:

#comment
print'corn'#comment
'bread'#comment

In GolfScript, for whatever reason, print takes a string and prints it without a newline. Just having bread is enough to print it as well.

Outputs gravy

Note: You cannot run python3 dip.py and then type in code for this due to the Escape character literal. It appears as ^[, which makes the Dip interpreter get confused and it thinks that [ is a command, and it results in an error.

The best way to run this is to edit the source file, change the last line in dip.py

main(input(">>> "), stack.Stack())

to

main("\"turkey\"e#\"corn\"??\"gravy\"p&Ssalad", stack.Stack())
exit()

Be sure to include the escape character literal!. Now the code as it is is passed into the interpreter so that it can understand it (" have to be escaped like \" so). Now if you run it from the command-line, it interprets the actual code and outputs gravy.

Answer 7

Pushy, Python and Brainfuck

This is my first polyglot, so don't go too hard on me... For those whining about byte count, it's 77 bytes, but that's only relevant for the tiebreaker.

"`turkey`"
print('gravy')
#++++++++++[>++++++++++<-]>-.++++++++++++.+++.----.

Pushy prints 'turkey' with a leading newline (as well as a message to STDERR):

"        % Print current stack: just a newline as stack is empty
`turkey` % Push to stack
"        % Print the stack: 'turkey'
p        % Primality check on 'y' (121): pushes 0
r        % Integer root of 0: throws error and exits

Python prints 'gravy', as the first and last lines are treated as comments.

Brainfuck ignores all other characters and except for those on the final line, which create and print the word 'corn'.

Answer 8

Pip, BF, oOo CODE, ><>, Befunge-93 (Quirkster implementation), Ouroboros, ///: 7 languages, 175 bytes

/'//bisCuItS/`f(>-[--[<]>+>-]<.++++++++++++.+++.----.O@,,,,,,"tuRkey"
"saLaD"1/ooooo;1(
>"YVaRg"^(OoooOoOOoooOoooOOoooOOoOooOooOooOOoOooOooOooOOoOOoOoOOoOOoOOoOOo`OO"sTUfFINg"

Pip

Try it online

A bunch of expressions that get silently discarded (most of which generate warnings, if warnings are enabled), with the expression "sTufFINg" at the end which gets printed.

/ '/ / b      Invert the string "/" and divide it by nil
i s           Two different variables
Cu            Chr(nil)
It            If 10:
S / `...` OO   Invert a Pattern literal and swap it with undefined variable OO
"sTufFINg"    Autoprint this last expression

BF

Try it online

Everything except >-[--[<]>+>-]<.++++++++++++.+++.----.,,,, is comments. This code generates 99 (the character code for c) via the shortest method listed on esolangs.org, then modifies it for o, r, and n. The ,,,, tries to input four characters, but that doesn't affect anything.

oOo CODE

Everything except letters is ignored. Grouping the letters into threes, the codes reads like this:

bis CuI tSf Otu Rke ysa LaD ooo ooY VaR gOo ... OsT UfF INg

and translates to this BF code (try it using Martin's Retina translator):

>+[-->+><+[<]>-]>.---.---..+++++++.

which outputs rolls. (And, interestingly enough, is shorter than the above BF for outputting corn, even with a >< no-op added to make the capitalization line up correctly.)

><>

Run ><> code here

The important part of the code:

/
        /ooooo;
>"YVaRg"^

The IP gets reflected upward, wraps around, and gets sent rightward. "YVaRg" pushes the character codes of gRaVY. ooooo outputs five letters and ; terminates the program.

Befunge-93

The code depends on undefined behavior and probably only works in this implementation.

The important part of the code:

/'                        @,,,,,,"tuRkey"

/ is division. The stack is empty, so the JavaScript implementation I'm using divides 0 by 0 and pushes NaN.

' is an unrecognized character. The implementation I'm using, conveniently, treats unrecognized characters as Reflect commands. (For a less implementation-dependent version, one possible replacement would be 1_.) So the IP goes left again, divides NaN by 0 (getting NaN), and wraps to the other end of the line.

Now "yekRut" (moving RTL) pushes the character codes of tuRkey and ,,,,,, outputs them. Finally, @ terminates the program.

Ouroboros

Try it here

Each line of the code is a "snake" that executes independently.

Snake 1

Since there are no output instructions, the only important part of the code is f(: f pushes 15 and ( swallows that many characters from the end of the snake. The code is now considered to end after .O. Execution continues until the end of the snake and loops back to the beginning. Each time through, the snake gets shorter, until eventually the ( is swallowed. Since the IP just got eaten, the snake halts execution.

Snake 2

"saLaD" pushes its character codes last-to-first; 1/ divides the charcode of r by 1, leaving it unchanged, and ooooo outputs five characters. ; drops an item (no-op because the stack is already empty). 1( swallows the instruction pointer and halts.

Snake 3

"YVaRg" pushes some charcodes; then ( swallows a number of characters equal to the top of the stack, which happens to be 89, the character code of Y. Eating 89 characters is enough to swallow the IP and halt execution.

///

Try it online using my Pip implementation of ///

/'// deletes all single quotes from the rest of the program (which does nothing because there aren't any). Next, bisCuItS outputs as-is. Finally, the rest of the code is an incomplete substitution--there's only two of the three requisite slashes--so it does nothing.

Answer 9

Cubix, Pushy, Brainfuck, V, Python 2 - 5 languages, 89 85 bytes

My second ever polyglot - not very golfed, but it works:

"`turkey`";print'salad'#;"nroc"w!@o;"-[--";;;;{{->+<]>---.---.---..+++++++.␛ddgigravy

_{(note that ␛ represents the literal escape byte, x1B)}

• Cubix prints corn
• Pushy prints turkey
• Brainfuck prints ROLLS
• V prints gravy
• Python prints salad

---

Cubix

Test the program online!

Cubix is a language by the challenge author, ETHproductions. The Cubix Interpreter reads the code like this:

        " ` t u
        r k e y
        ` " ; p
        r i n t
' s a l a d ' # ; " n r o c " w
! @ o ; " - [ - - " ; ; ; ; { {
- > + < ] > - - - . - - - . - -
- . . + + + + + + + . d d g i ␛
        g r a v
        y . . .
        . . . .
        . . . .

The code is executed like so:

• 'salad - does some irrelevant XOR operations on stack, results in 115, 0, 0
• '#; - push the charcode of #, then pop it again (no-op)
• "nroc" - push the charcodes for "corn"
• w - moves the IP to loop on the next line below:
  • !@o; - print and pop last item (terminate if item is 0)
  • "-[--";;;; - push these chars and delete them (no-op)
  • {{ - no-op

Pushy

Test the program online!

Pushy is my own language, and it runs the code like this:

"          \ Print stack. Empty, so prints newline.
`turkey`   \ Push this string
"          \ Print this string
;          \ "End loop": Ignored as there is no loop in progress.
pr         \ Irrelevant stack operations
i          \ "interrupt": exit program.

---

Brainfuck

Test the program online!

Brainfuck ignores all characters that are not in its list of instructions, resulting in:

-[--->+<]>---.---.---..+++++++.

Which prints ROLLS. Note that this requires an interpreter with wrapping cells, such as the one provided.

---

V (Vim language)

Test the program online!

V was created by DJMcMayhem, one of our top code-golfers.

V is a program-based version of the text editor Vim. Most characters before the ESC get written into the "file", but ␛ddgigravy deletes all of that and inserts "gravy" instead. The content of the file at the end of the program is printed.

---

Python 2

Test the program online!

Python is one of my favorite practical languages. Because # is a comment in Python, most of the program is ignored. The code is read like this:

"`turkey`";            # Unused string literal
print'salad'           # Print statement
#...                   # Comment (everything else is ignored)

---

Answer 10

Python/QBasic/Pip, 3 languages, 41 bytes

More languages possibly TBA.

1#print"corn":end
print("turkey");"salad"

Python

1 is just an expression that gets discarded. # starts a comment. print("turkey") does what it says, and "salad" is another expression that gets discarded.

QBasic

1# is a (double-precision) line number. print"corn" does what it says. end terminates the program. The second line is syntactically valid but never executed.

Pip

Most everything is expressions that get discarded. "corn":e tries to assign to a literal string, which fails silently (unless warnings are enabled). "salad" is the last expression in the program and therefore is printed.

Answer 11

PHP, JavaScript and BrainF*ck, 178 Bytes

First time I've ever tried a Polyglot - not going to lie, I'm in over my head here...

Golfed:

<!DOCTYPE html><html><body><?php echo "turkey";?></body><script>function A(){alert("stuffing");}//`--[----->+<]>-++.+++++++++++.-----------------.-----------.+++.`
</script></html>

(I didn't dare to write a Thanksgiving food in the HTML code and count that as another language...)

Explanation:

The code needs to be saved into a .php file for the PHP and JavaScript parts.

PHP:

When ran on a PHP server, the PHP part of the code is read:

<?php echo "turkey";?>

This outputs:

JavaScript:

You can call the JavaScript A() function from the browser console:

function A(){alert("stuffing");}

This outputs:

Brainf*cK

The Brainf*ck part is nicely hidden in the comments in the JavaScript section, so it is ignored by the PHP and JavaScript parts:

--[----->+<]>-++.+++++++++++.-----------------.-----------.+++.

When the whole file pasted into an IDE, this outputs:

I couldn't have done the Brainf*ck part without this text-to-BF website. I originally got it to generate code for "corn" and then in an attempt to learn something about this crazy language, I converted it to "gravy"...or rather "graVY"...

Answer 13

///, SQL and JavaScript

/*//turkey/\*/select('corn')
--a;function select(){alert('salad')}

Same construction as with that other holiday-oriented polyglot:

///

/*//turkey/../..   Simply prints 'turkey', does no replaces, stops execution because the second /// block is incomplete

SQL

/*//turkey/\*/    //turkey/\ is seen as a block comment
                  That last \ was added to set apart the following */, completing the block
select('corn')    SQL Select statement, yielding 'corn'
--a;...           Seen by SQL as a comment, ignored

Javascript

/*//turkey/\*/    //turkey/\ is seen as a block comment
select('corn')    Function call to the function 'select', defined below
--a;              Decrement a, effectively a NOP
function select(){alert('salad')}
                  Defines the function select(), giving us 'salad'

Answer 14

Clojure / Common Lisp / PicoLisp, 39 bytes

(print(if '()'turkey(if""'rolls'corn)))

Lisp family here. '() evaluates to true in Clojure so it proceeds to outputing a symbol turkey. PicoLisp and Common Lisp goes into false branch; "" is true in Common Lisp and thus it prints symbol rolls, empty string is false in PicoLisp and so it goes to printing corn symbol.

Answer 15

CJam, Underload, ><>, 39 bytes

'v;"(Turkey)S";"Gravy""
 >'nroC'oooo;";

What CJam sees

• 'v;: A character literal that is immediately discarded
• "(Turkey)S";: A string literal that is immediately discarded
• "Gravy": Pushes the string Gravy to the stack
• "\n'nroC'oooo;";: A string literal that is immediately discarded.

At the end of execution, the stack is output, which means that "Gravy" is printed.

What Underload sees

• 'v;": Some invalid commands that are ignored
• (Turkey)S: Pushes the string "Turkey" and outputs it
• ";"Gr: Some invalid commands that are ignored
• a: This causes a segfault on the TIO interpreter since the stack is empty. Execution is terminated.

What ><> sees

• 'v;"(Turkey)S";"Gravy"" pushes a bunch of characters to the stack (which are ignored). The IP then wraps back around.
• v sends the IP downwards.
• >'nroC'oooo pushes the characters in the string "Corn" and outputs them.
• ; terminates execution. All other characters are ignored.
