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 agree with you. And it’s not because of poor cooking. I just don’t like most Thanksgiving food.
On the other hand, pulled pork BBQ and grilled meats on the 4th are some of my favorites.
Baste a turkey with peanut butter. Stuff it with pulled pork/sausage & slaw. Smoke it or grill it.
It’s good any day of the week!
