Thanksgiving Foods Ranked

Thanksgiving Foods Ranked

November 17, 2016 (December 6, 2022) // Riot Fest

thanksgiving-food-riot-fest
One of the greatest American holidays is almost here. I’m not really sure what Thanksgiving is even about, but I do I know I get a four-day weekend and we celebrate by getting drunk and eating food covered in gravy all day.

To prepare for a day of gorging and super fun family time talking about politics around the dinner table, we made a definitive list of Thanksgiving foods ranked in order of the best to worst. Spoiler alert: Gravy is the best Thanksgiving food and turkey is overrated.

  1. Gravy
  2. Green Bean Casserole
  3. Macaroni & Cheese
  4. Stuffing
  5. Pecan Pie
  6. Pumpkin Pie
  7. Turkey
  8. Mashed Potatoes
  9. Buttery Rolls
  10. Sweet Potatoes
  11. Corn Bread
  12. Cranberry Sauce
  13. Carrots
  14. Roast Squash
