When its Thanksgiving, most people tend to look forward to a lot of things such as the being with family, the vibes, the weather, the prayers, and the food. Whenever I look forward to Thanksgiving, its almost entirely because of the food. Even though I don't look the size, I am a very big eater. I love food so of course my favorite part of Thanksgiving is always going to be the food that is served that day. There were so many different amazing foods that were served last Thanksgiving like turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, macaroni, bread, and so much more. There are also a lot of dessert and sweets that are served in Thanksgiving like fruit salad with marshmallows, pumpkin pie, apple pie, and banana pie. There is so much to eat in Thanksgiving and I love it for that. I want to give my thoughts on what I think about most of the food I ate last Thanksgiving.

The most common food people eat on Thanksgiving is turkey. I think we all know exactly where the turkey comes from and how people acquire them. Anyways to me turkey is usually a hit or a miss. Sometimes I've had turkey that was so dry I felt like I was swallowing my sock. I've also had turkey that tasted very good and blew my expectations. The turkey I had this Thanksgiving was pretty good. There were two different turkeys made by two of my family members. The first one was made by my older sister. Her turkey tasted okay, I needed salsa to enhance the flavor. As for the second one, I don't know who made it but it tasted amazing. There was a bit of spice on the turkey skin which made me enjoy it a lot, and even the turkey itself had a really good flavor.

The second food most people eat on Thanksgiving is ham. I love ham most of the time. Usually the ham I eat is made with pineapple juice which makes the ham very juicy and delicious. Love the juice! Anyways this thanksgiving, the ham unfortunately didn't come out too great. It wasn't bad at all, I still liked it but it was missing the one thing I loved the most about it, the juice.

Next is mashed potatoes. I don't really like mashed potatoes at all, I feel like they are very overrated. Most of the mashed potatoes I have ate just taste ok and the flavor never really appeals to me. I'm glad most of my other family members enjoy it but it is something that I usually skip on eating. I didn't try the mashed potatoes that were made this Thanksgiving. I don't have much else to say about mashed potatoes so lets move on.

There are usually two different kinds of macaroni that are served on Thanksgiving, basic macaroni and macaroni salad. I don't care too much about mac and cheese but the macaroni salad is pretty great. I think one of my aunts brought it this Thanksgiving and it tasted amazing as per usual. I love the cold texture because it makes the macaroni taste really good, if it were hot it wouldn't taste as good.

Moving on the desserts, one of my favorites is the marshmallow fruit salad. My mom is the one who usually makes it for Thanksgiving and I always look forward to it every year. The salad includes marshmallows, cherries, grapes and pineapples. I really enjoy the way the marshmallows and fruit taste together and I also enjoy the creaminess. The only fruit that was missing are mandarins but I feel like the fruit salad still tastes really great without it.

The last dessert I want to talk about is the pumpkin pie. It is one of the most popular desserts during the fall and especially on Thanksgiving. Most of my family members don't care too much about pumpkin pie but I enjoy it. I like how creamy the pumpkin part feels and tastes and this might be an unpopular opinion but I love how the crust tastes at the end. Unlike the other foods and desserts, the pumpkin pie was just bought from Fry's. It would be interesting to see if any of my family members are willing to make a pumpkin pie from scratch. I think it would be fun if I tried to make a pumpkin pie but I feel like that would end in disappointment.

I love Thanksgiving because it is a holiday where I get to see my family, even though I don't care too much about them, enjoy the holiday vibes and eat delicious food. I don't care too much about the prayers because I just want to get straight to the food but I respect the tradition. I enjoyed almost all of the food I have ate this Thanksgiving, I guess I could say that I am thankful for the food each of my family members have brought this Thanksgiving. I am looking forward to the next few holidays like Christmas or New Years where I get to enjoy even more delicious food.
