Thanksgiving is an American holiday that first occurred in 1621 when the Pilgrims and Native Americans shared together a harvest feast. Later George Washington made it a national holiday in 1789 on November 26th and then again later Abraham Lincoln made it on the Third Thursday of November in 1863. Thanksgiving is a very special and important holiday for millions of Americans it has aspects of religion, diversity, friendship, appreciation for things you have, and food of course. Thanksgiving has changed so much over the years since it first started with the Native Americans to what it Is today. And over time as many people immigrate to this country, they mix the typical American Thanksgiving with a mix of their home culture. Lots of Americans just go with the basic turkey, bread, gravy , corn, potatoes etc. But it’s not just that America is such a diverse country and Thanksgiving is another great example of how that can be displayed. Italian’s immigrants the Latino community,and others all have different cultures and food it won’t all be the same and everyone will celebrate Thanksgiving in their own beautiful way.

So, there can be so many different kinds of food and music etc. But the best food for Thanksgiving in my eyes would align more with the traditional American Thanksgiving. So, with a plethora of options, I think the five best foods would be ham, potatoes, corn, stuffing and cranberry sauce. Yes, there will be no turkey, it is overrated. These five foods are fantastic , and all go extremely well together.You can mix and mash them all together and then add the gravy to make it mix well. And they are so savory and taste so good. And for the ham you need to get a warm glazed ham with honey with makes it taste 10 times better and pour the gravy over it with the potatoes which need to be mashed well and mix it with the corn, that’s perfection.

And it’s just a perfect balance of a good meat with a softer sort of food in potatoes and stuffing mixed with gravy and then corn which I don’t know how to explain but its good too! And then you can finish it off with a more sugary cranberry sauce but you got to get the good smooth one without the chucks, and you can’t mix that with the other food it doesn’t go well. The Cranberry is too wet and sugary, you can’t mix it with the others, it’s more of a side dish. Those are the five best Thanksgiving foods that taste absolutely exquisite if you mix them right and just cover it all in gravy!
