What are the typical types of food Americans eat for Thanksgiving? Our Editor in Chief shares what’s on her table for the holiday.

I decided to write an article about Thanksgiving food because I’m looking forward to eating all of it.

I read an article on the Washington Post about the top eight Thanksgiving foods and the history behind each of them. The foods they listed were:

• Apple cider
• Turkey
• Cranberry Sauce
• Oyster stuffing
• Sweet potatoes with marshmallows
• Tamales
• Rice
• Pumpkin pie

Some of these foods I’ve never seen on our table for Thanksgiving, like rice, oyster stuffing, and tamales. But it really just depends on the family. So I’m going to share the food my family normally has for Thanksgiving.
