I recently read an article published by TheWeek.com that ranked various Thanksgiving foods from worst to best. Surprisingly, turkey was ranked the worst because, “due to lack of practice of making the dish, turkeys come out bland and dry”. I didn’t agree with this, but I was willing to keep reading because I was curious about what the best dish would be if they considered turkey to be the absolute downfall of Thanksgiving. Not to my surprise, the first ranked food for the dinner was…pie. Now, that I could agree with.
Here is TheWeek.com’s list of Thanksgiving dishes ranked from WORST to BEST:
10. Turkey
9. Cornbread
8. Greenbean Casserole
7. Mac and Cheese
6. Mashed Potatoes
5. Ham
4. Sweet Potatoes with Marshmallows
3. Gravy
2. Stuffing
1. Pie
So this got me thinking about what my list of Thanksgiving food would look like. This is my favorite holiday- I mean it is literally a day dedicated to eating food prepared by those who you love the most (and can cook the best). So, below is Special Kayla’s List of Worst Thanksgiving Dishes to the Absolute Best. Enjoy!
10. Sweet potatoes

Thanksgiving is not Thanksgiving without my aunt’s AMAZING Mac and Cheese. The carbilious goodness is the staple to my family’s meal and I will eat enough of it to feel almost sick, but it is always so worth it.
