Thanksgiving is almost upon us, my friends. Get out your stretchy pants and leave your belt at home because you know it'll only feel too tight after eating way too much food (but you won't be having any regrets at all and for sure will do it again next year). Paired with the turkey are some of the best dishes that your family members know how to make, and God bless them for it. But of course, not all side dishes were created equally. Some of them reign supreme among the other side dishes, while others sit and stay cold at the table cause THEY'RE DISGUSTING. (In the words of Beyoncé: I ain't sorry). So, which dish is ranked where on the Thanksgiving Food Chain? Well, here is the rank of the best 5 and worst 5 side dishes at the Thanksgiving table.
Worst Dish #5: Beets
Honestly, I can't even stand the smell of beets; keep them away from the Thanksgiving table, they don't belong here.
Best Dish #5: Corn Pudding
Corn pudding seriously makes me feel #blessed. It can be sweet, it can be more salty, it can be AMAZING. Bless you, corn pudding.
Worst Dish #4: Baked Carrots
Carrots should not be soft and mushy. I'm going to repeat that for the people in the back, CARROTS. SHOULD. NOT. BE. SOFT. AND. MUSHY.
Best Dish #4: Macaroni and Cheese
Delicious, cheesy goodness, YES LORD I AM THANKFUL FOR MACARONI AND CHEESE.
Worst Dish #3: Peas
I know maybe like 5 people total who actually enjoy eating peas - so why do they keep showing up at Thanksgiving? Go away, peas, no one even invited you here.
Best Dish #3: Apple Pie
All while I'm sitting there eating my turkey, I'm dreaming about dessert. More specifically, I'm dreaming about some apple pie in my belly.
Worst Dish #2: Pureed Squash
Get out of here with this stuff showing up looking like a pudding imposter - or more like looking up something the dog threw up. Boy BYE.
Best Dish #2: Rolls
Homemade, store bought, french, sourdough, white, wheat, with sesame seeds, without sesame seeds, croissants, baguettes - I don't care what kind of bread it is, I just want it and I want it now.
Worst Dish #1: Brussel Sprouts
These little things don't even look good, literally why do people consume there? And why do they think they should be present on the table at Thanksgiving?
Best Dish #1: Stuffing (The artist formerly known as Dressing)
It smells delicious, it looks delicious, it IS delicious. Stuffing is seriously a blessing to every Thanksgiving table it is on.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone, I hope even if you don't enjoy all the dishes on the table, you enjoy the company sitting around it!
