Thanksgiving is this Thursday, and everybody's most excited for the same thing: the food. Yeah, yeah, seeing your family is great, and getting to sleep in your own bed is heavenly. But thinking about the smell of turkey in the oven wafting out of your kitchen is already making your mouth water. So here it is, the definitive ranking of (typical) Thanksgiving food.
9. Turkey
Let's be real, people. We treat turkey like its the star of the show, but it's no one's favorite part of Thanksgiving. And everyone does that thing where you fill your plate with side dishes and have almost no room left for turkey.
8. Pumpkin Pie
Pumpkin pie is literally the worst kind of pie. It's higher than turkey because it's a dessert. And if you drown it with Cool Whip, it's actually pretty OK.
7. Various Vegetable Side Dishes
As long as you like vegetables, you make room for these side dishes on your plate. You might even go back for seconds.
6. Cranberry Sauce

Everyone at least kinda likes the cranberry sauce. The great debate here is: homemade or from the can?
5. Anything with Corn in It
Corn is so good. In any form, it earns a solid spot on this list.
4. Sweet Potato Casserole
This one is great because you're eating sweet potato, and that's healthy, right? But its buried beneath roasted marshmallows, and let's be real, it's basically dessert.
3. Stuffing
Carbs are automatically higher on the list. And stuffing is a seasonal favorite that has to be enjoyed within the month that it's socially acceptable to eat stuffing.
2. Apple Pie
The obviously superior pie. The Thanksgiving pie that actually has fruit in it, and not whatever pumpkin is. The dessert everyone looks forward to when they're recovering from their food coma after dinner.
1. Mashed Potatoes
Controversial choice for number one, I know. Mashed potatoes aren't anything special, but they're really the heart and center of the meal, the part that pulls it all together.
Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy the food coma!!
