Thanksgiving is a food-centric holiday, but it is not the author's favorite. The author explains their perspective on Thanksgiving and how it went astray for them.
Maybe you're sitting on some couch right now fairly annoyed, not at all thankful. We get that. But here are some things we're excited about.This may come as a shock to many of you, but Thanksgiving really isn’t my favorite holiday. I can almost hear forks crashing into plates as you all reach for your phones to write your angry missives, so let me explain. Yes, Thanksgiving is a food-centric holiday, which should be right up my alley as a food critic.
By and large, I think Thanksgiving fare is great, and I particularly adore people’s takes on food histories, rooted into the way dad or grandma or Aunt Betty made a certain dish.

Thanksgiving Horror Movies: The Scariest Films Set on Turkey DayWhile Eli Roth’s new horror film, Thanksgiving, is a huge success, it's far from the first scary movie centered on the titular holiday. It's true that Thanksgiving is not typically associated with fear or fright. Halloween is an entire holiday devoted to all things spooky and dark.

Food Banks Struggle to Meet Demand as Pandemic Assistance is SlashedStockpiles of canned goods and pasta at the Capital Area Food Bank warehouse will be shipped to food banks across the region before Thanksgiving. Since the federal government slashed pandemic-era food assistance in March, Tahjae Pitt has been skimping on laundry. “I’ve got three bags of dirty clothes because I had to spend money on groceries,” said Pitt, 26, a single mother in Southeast D.C. “I had to make sure my son had food.” “We are seeing unprecedented demand,” said Jackie DeCarlo, chief executive of Manna Food Center, a nonprofit food distribution center in Montgomery County. Manna provided meals to 5,781 families last month, DeCarlo said, eclipsing its monthly high during the pandemic by about 1,000. Food for Others, a food bank in Fairfax County, has distributed 30 percent more food this year than last year, serving about 200 to 250 people daily, development and communications coordinator Hannah Brockway said.
