Thanksgiving break is next week and while we're all longing for that sweet post-midterm rest and catching up with family and friends over an enormous home-cooked meal, I'm sure we'll also miss a few of BU's classic cuisine options once we're gone.
Here are a few Thanksgiving classics, Terrier Style.
1.) Turkey -> Cane's Chicken Fingers
Let's be real Cane's sauce beats gravy any day.
2.) Stuffing -> Rhett's Tator Tots at the GSU
All the delicious carbs goodness of Thanksgiving stuffing in a convenient tot-shaped package.
3.) Green Beans -> Dining Hall Salad Bar
Green beans are the dish you add to the side of the plate to hopefully offset the mounds of butter, bread, and sweet treats your grabbing and trick yourself into making the 'healthy choice.'
Similarly, you tell yourself hitting up the salad bar in Warren will offset those three pieces of pizza back at your table.
4.) Mashed Potatoes -> Dorm Room Easy Mac
The beloved Thanksgiving staple and its college counterpart. Both likely to start heated debates over if lumpy vs smooth potatoes are better and how much water you should ACTUALLY add to that Easy Mac cup.
5.) Cranberry Sauce -> Frat Party Jello Shots
Wiggly, vaguely fruit flavored, and something you probably never consume outside of its one particular setting.
6.) Corn on the Cob -> Microwaved Popcorn
Does this count as a vegetable?
7.) Any Version of Casserole -> Care Packages From Home
There's something about casserole's that just screams homey. Hearty and easy to bake, casseroles are typically the go-to option for pot-lucks or comforting a grieving friend or neighbor.
And just like a casserole, some colleges care packages are amazing (stuffed with chocolate. nail polish and Dunkin' gift cards) While others are...questionable at best (Looking at your stack of old magazines from 2007 and new toothbrush).
8.) Pumpkin Pie -> Pumpkin Spice Latte
Because we all know any true basic BU student would choose their precious PSL over an extra slice of dessert any day of the week.
9.) Pecan Pie -> Insomnia Cookies
For those of us who look forward to dessert more than any other part of their holiday meal, BU's own Insomnia Cookies will definitely satisfy your sweet tooth. Insomnia offers a ton of freshly baked flavors from Mint Chocolate Chunk to Cranberry Macadamia Nut~
10.) Wine -> Wine
Why mess with something that works?
11.) Thanksgiving Leftover Sandwiches -> T Anthony's Mozzarella Stick Pizza
Just as how the classic Day after Thanksgiving leftover sandwiches combines all your favorite holiday classics in a new, delicious way, T Anthony's legendary pizza topped with fried mozzarella sticks is an innovation in the fine art of drunk munchies.
