A definitive ranking of Thanksgiving side dishes: No mashed potatoes aren't in first place.
Let’s be real: Thanksgiving as it has been popularly conceived is absolutely not worth celebrating. But I don’t think we need to romanticize colonialism to enjoy a good home-cooked meal with friends and family. So although I don’t believe in commemorating the values my kindergarten teacher articulated to me about Thanksgiving, I will be participating in the food portion of the holiday. Frankly, apart from the crispy, herb-encrusted skin, I find turkey to be supremely dry and unappealing.
Cranberry sauce unfortunately suffers from a terrible reputation. It seems to be among the most hated Thanksgiving sides out there. But as chef, author and television personality Samin Nosrat points out incranberry sauce offers a shock of acidity to a Thanksgiving table that’s overwhelmingly dominated by fat. My mom always lovingly made the fresh stuff, which I’ll always be partial to, but lazy as I am, I’ve also developed an affinity for the canned stuff with the ridges.
