In today’s culture, people have a tendency of moving directly from Halloween’s trick-or-treats to the festive holiday season of Christmas. We aren’t the only people found guilty of this, it’s commercial retail as well. However, we have to remember not to sleep on Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is a great time to celebrate and reflect on everything you’ve been thankful for within the past year. It’s also a great time to eat some of the best food life has to offer. Here is a definitive ranking of the best Thanksgiving food:
1. Stuffing with cranberry sauce
If we’re being honest here, stuffing might as well be heaven on earth. It is by far the dish I am most excited for, especially because it is a seasonal dish.
2. Pumpkin pie
It wouldn’t be a Thanksgiving dinner without a slice of pumpkin pie. No arguments.
3. Cornbread/Dinner roll
Sure, we consume cornbread and dinner rolls on a daily basis, regardless of the holidays, but the meal would be entirely incomplete without them.
4. Mashed potatoes with gravy
Mashed potatoes are already such an iconic dish. Now, mashed potatoes with gravy? That only takes it to the next level.
5. Green bean casserole
I enjoy eating vegetables as much as the average person does, but green bean casserole makes eating vegetables taste a thousand times better.
6. Pecan pie
Eating pie is hands down my guilty pleasure. Sometimes though, pecan pie can be too sweet for my liking.
7. Turkey
Whether or not the meat tastes dry makes all of the difference in the world. This can either make or break a turkey.
8. Corn
Corn isn’t the best, but it certainly isn’t the worst either. It’s just kind of there.
9. Sweet potato pie
You have hundreds of delicious pies to choose from, yet you choose sweet potato pie?
