Mashed Potatoes

Thanksgiving is an amazing holiday. There is family and friends and let's not forget mashed potatoes! I love mashed potatoes. They are without a doubt the best Thanksgiving food. I don't think it would be Thanksgiving without them. Sure the turkey, pie, stuffing, and corn are good, but after all that it's good to have something so creamy and fluffy topped with delicious gravy. If you haven't tried mashed potatoes I highly suggest you do. Over all mashed potatoes are by far the best Thanksgiving food.

Thanksgiving is full of lots of awesome foods. However, turkey is obviously the best because everybody likes it. From the article Thanksgiving by the Numbers it said "46million turkeys are consumed on Thanksgiving". To elaborate, since so many people eat turkey on thanksgiving it has to be the best. Who does not love the smell of turkey after it was just pulled out of they oven. Turkey tastes even better if you can dip in gravy. Turkey is the all time classic. Obviously, turkey is the best food at thanksgiving.

Mashed Potatoes and gravy...yum!

Have you ever had a Thanksgiving without mashed potatoes? I haven't, but I know that if I had, it would be a sad meal. My favorite food at Thanksgiving is by far, mashed potatoes and gravy. They just complete the meal. Many people agree because the amazing amount of potatoes we make. According to Linkedin.com, "We produce 15 million pounds of Mashed Potatoes each year, which takes 400,000 gallons of milk and 11.4 million pounds of potatoes." Now that is A LOT of potatoes. That means that potatoes are very popular. Of course, I wouldn't like potatoes as much without the wonderful gravy! I love making swimming pools with cliffs, bridges and diving boards with my potatoes and my gravy. It makes me feel not like a teen, but a little kid again. That's at least one great reason to have potatoes and gravy on your table. Obviously, potatoes are the best and you should not leave them out this Thanksgiving.

                                  Turkey 

Turkey is the best Thanksgiving food. You can't have Thanksgiving without Turkey it is the main dish for most families, also it is really yummy. Many sites I looked at Turkey was ranked in the top third. Also, it is super classical if you search up Thanksgiving dinner in google, almost every picture has turkey in it. This also means that it is really popular. However, many sites didn't even mention turkey. The reason for this is simple. Many dishes like stuffing and green bean casserole are only eaten once a year, at Thanksgiving. This makes them more popular. Considering that we eat turkey more since it is what we eat sandwiches with and on Sunday dinner, and it is still one of the most popular food items is pretty impressive. All in all, Turkey is the best Thanksgiving dish.

Thanksgiving Pie!

Thanksgiving just isn’t complete without Thanksgiving Pie. Pie is definitely one of the best food served at Thanksgiving. Pie is the fourth favorite dessert in America. Plus, there are many different flavors. If you don’t like apple pie or pumpkin pie, then you can still choose from so many more different varieties! Some pies are healthy too! Not only do they taste good, but they look good too. Pie is one of the many reasons why I look forward to Thanksgiving. As you can see, there are so many reasons why pie is a very important dish at Thanksgiving dinner.
