• The Feast

  Thanksgiving dinner is an annual tradition. It is typically considered as a day to feast and give thanks. The Thanksgiving dinner may often be served in the afternoon. Family and friends gather to share in the splendor of delicious food and drink. Turkey is the traditional main course served along with numerous side dishes.

  Traditional sides include mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, vegetables, and other items. It is tradition to eat hearty on Thanksgiving, which is why many dinners contain an abundance of food (often resulting in leftovers). The main course is usually followed up with desserts like pumpkin, pecan, and apple pies.

  Recipes used on Thanksgiving are often handed down generation to generation. Using grandma's favorite stuffing recipe brings back family tradition and memories of days long past. Others look to the familiar recipes like on the back of the Campbell's soup can for green bean casserole.
