8. Cranberry Sauce
Cranberry Sauce is a staple for any holiday, but we can all agree that is nasty and unnecessary. It is mainly used as a filler and as decoration.
7. Sweet Potato or Yams
Another food that you either love or hate!
6. Green Bean Casserole
Green Bean Casserole is delicious but we can all agree that because it has mushrooms, it must be lowered on our ranking.
5. Cornbread
What is thanksgiving without cornbread or biscuits?! Such a simple, but necessary part of the traditional Thanksgiving meal.
4. Turkey
Of course turkey is the star of the show but it isn't the best part of the meal, especially if its overcooked and dry!
3. Pie
Pie is delicious in all forms so of course it lands a high ranking on this list.
2. Stuffing
Salted bread passed off as actual food? I'll take it. Stuffing has so many variations that it's impossible not to love.
1. Mashed Potatoes
The absolute best part of the meal. Potatoes are infallible, but the best form is obviously mashed. Between its silkiness or saltiness, I'm not sure how it could be any more perfect.
