Part 1, Molly Norton: Stuffing is the Best Thanksgiving Food.
No Thanksgiving table is complete without the classic stuffing. Some families even stuff their Thanksgiving turkey with the delicious mixture. The combination of celery, onions, mushrooms, and cornbread mix proves for the perfect bite of savory with added sweetness from black olives.
While the flavor of turkey is wonderful on it’s own, the flavorful stuffing adds seasoning and a nice texture to the food staple. Not only is stuffing great on Thanksgiving, leftovers are sure to keep you full and wanting more after the holiday. Stuffing sandwiches are a great way to not only save money, but remember the wonderful memories you made on Thanksgiving while enjoying it fresh.
Besides the taste, one reason that stuffing is the best Thanksgiving dish is the warm and cozy connection between families that comes from making it together. Some of people’s fondest memory is making it with loved ones.
Stuffing makes the holiday complete and adds a unique flavor with vegetables and bread. Almost every participant in the holiday can agree that stuffing is the best dish.

It’s no surprise that cranberries have been included in the grand feast for a very long time.The sweet, fruity flavor of the dish is nicely complemented by a sour bite. And the smooth sauce mixed with chunks of real cranberries is yet another reason cranberry sauce is the best Thanksgiving food.
And not only is this food great on its own, it pairs perfectly with the savory flavors of turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes. Everybody loves to have turkey and stuffing on Thanksgiving. They’re delicious and a holiday tradition. However, what’s turkey and stuffing without the taste of some sweet cranberries with it? As one of the only sweet foods at Thanksgiving, cranberry sauce can help balance out the overwhelming meat flavors with a fruity, natural taste.
