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.

    Grandmother, actually. And I consider her to have the best food I’ve had. Everyone’s trying to say “it’s the cook” instead of perhaps considering that certain things just don’t taste good. Never said it was horrible, I said it was overrated

      Don’t taste good to you, maybe. That’s why taste is a matter of taste.

      I love all those “low” savoury notes. Sounds like you probably like “brighter” or sharper flavours.

      Legitimately, my mouth started watering just as I was typing this up lol
