Mashed Potatoes / Running Back
The workhorse of Thanksgiving. It pairs well with every single thing on the menu and while not as flashy as the quarterback, everyone knows that the mashed potatoes are the ones that grind it out on the ground.
Mashed potatoes are simply awesome. I refuse to be friends with people that dislike mashed potatoes. The best mashed potatoes are made with Yukon Gold potatoes, a bit of sour cream, some buttermilk and butter, because why the fuck not? I like mine cheesy, but it’s not everyone’s persuasion. I will recommend spending a few extra bucks on a good sharp cheddar.
As a kid, my aunt (she’s like eight years older than me), chastised me for taking too many mashed potatoes. I thought, “Never again,” so I’ve devoted my life to always having ample mashed potatoes. They are also the glue that holds together the #1 reason for Thanksgiving food.

I’m running a goal line offense this year with a stacked O-Line.
If stuffing is the fullback then I’m running a Navy style offense because I can’t get enough of that stuff.
Couldn’t have said it better myself!

Turkey is the 40 year old QB that is a legend and you have to respect him, but there are better players in the league/kitchen.
He’s a future HoFer
Are you comparing Turkey to all other foods, or all other meats?
Comparing it to all other foods on Thanksgiving. There is no Thanksgiving without turkey but give me stuffing and mashed potatoes in the 1 and 2 spot.
Ok, I thought you were suggesting that you would rather eat ham like a fucking pagan.
I’ve always been partial to a salted ham rather than a glazed ham, family tradition. But if you don’t know you need to soak a salted ham before cooking it… it can go oh so wrong.
What kind of animal doesn’t like stuffing

Hey, the Backyard Brawl is coming back……in 7 years.
Sounds like you have the Morten Andersen of hams. My mouth is watering, can’t wait for Thursday.
Sorry, turkey is a mediocre meal at best. I’ve always said, if an entire holiday is centered on a meal, they shoulda picked a better one like a pork shoulder or ribeyes or a good lasagna or something.
You should invent a time machine and tell the pilgrims.
Not sure if I’m the only one, but my family always has baked ziti or lasagna to go with the traditional Thanksgiving meals. Might be weird, but I love having it.
