Are Mashed Potatoes And Stuffing Everyone’s Favorite Thanksgiving Sides?

What is your favorite Thanksgiving food?

Answering that question is a lot like responding to the question who is your favorite friend.  Sure, all friends are special, but some might just be a bit more special. So when it comes to thanksgiving food feasts, the responses vary. The lunch ladies were pretty much in agreement that stuffing is their favorite Thanksgiving food, but the students in the lunch room voted for mashed potatoes.

This year’s Hawkeye poll revealed that mashed potatoes and stuffing are the two foods that must adorn the thanksgiving table. Green beans, sweet potatoes, and butternut squash came in last place. It’s funny that nobody mentioned turkey.
