Just about every common food option for thanksgiving is mediocre. Turkey is dry and flavorless unless you drench it in salt. Cranberry sauce is awful. Not only does dressing (stuffing) look unappealing it also tastes just as bad. And pumpkin pie could be better. Casserole and mash potatoes are alright but nothing to just fond over. The only good meal is mac and cheese and that ONLY depends on who’s cooking it. The 4th of July is the superior holiday in terms of food.

      I second this. I thought I hated turkey until I went to my first long term significant other’s family thanksgiving in my 20’s…

      Turns out my mom just always overcooked it.

      lol I consider my grandmother (the cook) to be the best I’ve ever had. But when it comes to thanksgiving, it’s average at best.

          it’s not always about the cook. Some food is just subpar. I’ve had it from her, my other grandma, other family members, cooks at school. Eating the same dishes every single year. It ain’t horrible but it’s not to die for either. Go ahead and downvote because I didn’t agree with you, that’s fine lmao
