Thanksgiving
meal
I am pretty sure I can speak for most Americans when I
say that Thanksgiving is definitely by far my favorite holiday. When you think
of
U.S.
holidays, Thanksgiving is the main one that comes to mind. The perfect thing
about Thanksgiving is that you it is a day set a side to indulge on as much
food as possible, and the food never runs out. My family has many foods that
aren’t in the traditional Thanksgiving meal, and I will state them for you.
First of all, my older sister, Maggie, makes home made macaroni and cheese that
is a fan favorite at my house for thanksgiving. She cooks noodles, not by
boiling them, but however by putting them in the oven with a ton of cheese,
pepper, and cinnamon drizzled on the top of it. This might not sound too good,
however if you eat it, you will have to keep eating. Another thing that my
house hold is famous for during thanksgiving is our broccoli casseroles. This
might sound very gross to most at a first thought, but it is one of my favorite
dishes. This is odd coming from me because I am a very picky eater, and the
only reason I ate it in the first place is because my mom offered me 5 dollars
when I was about 8, and this was a huge amount of money to me at the time, and
I thought it was worth it to eat something as gross as it looked and sounded.
But when I ate it, I became in love with it. McLoughlin P :)
