What are you eating for Thanksgiving is the biggest question everyone asks on Thanksgiving because someone might tell you something that you never heard before or that you do not eat. You never know what people are going to answer with that question.
The main foods that people mostly eat for Thanksgiving are turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, green beans, corn, etc. People might have traditions where they have to eat a certain food every year. Turkey is the main dish in a lot of people's houses, but there are people who do not have turkey as their main dish. Instead of turkey, they might have duck, goose, or ham.
There are countless sides that you could have for Thanksgiving. The major sides that people have are mac and cheese, green beans, rice, etc. People add to their major sides with collard green casserole, black-eyed peas, beets, etc.
Dessert is different because you never know what people are going to bring to the table. People mostly make cornbread, sweet potato pie, pumpkin pie, etc. People might also bring hoecakes to Thanksgiving. Hoecake is a petite cake that is made of cornmeal. Families could also make meat pie to eat. Meat pie is a pie that has meat, onions, spices, and herbs. Sweet potatoes baked with marshmallows on top of it is something many people bring to Thanksgiving dinner. Another food that people would put on the table is any type of rolls.
Different types of people eat different types of food and have different traditions but we are all the same in a certain way. Some people eat different types of food. Mrs. Dantinne said, ¨Instead of turkey, duck, and geese as your main dish, some people eat lasagna as their main dish. Corn pudding is a type of dessert that people eat. Corn pudding is like bread pudding but instead of bread, it would be corn.” Cora said, ¨Unique food that you can eat for Thanksgiving is scattered potatoes and broccoli casserole.” Evan said, “Fish could also be a type of the main dish for Thanksgiving.” Mrs. Hornburg said, ¨Oreo pudding dessert is a good type of dessert that is something that people should try.” Kathleen said, ¨Stuffing is a side that goes with Thanksgiving but you can also make pineapple stuffing.” It is a little unique. Corn casserole is a type of the main dish that people could have for Thanksgiving if they do not want turkey or duck. There are many types of food that you can eat for Thanksgiving, no matter if you are a vegan or vegetarian. Thanksgiving is a holiday where you and your family and friends come together and celebrate the 1621 harvest feast shared by the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag people. Happy Thanksgiving and many more!
