The green bean casserole is quite popular, but I myself am a balsamic-glazed Brussels sprouts and creamed spinach guy. Of course, every family likes to have their own twist on the classics. Mac 'n' cheese is always going to be good. Sweet potatoes can sit right next to the mashed"
"And, if you're Italian American, it's normal to see manicotti on the table. But there are many dishes that were once popular that have now fallen out of style. Some of them deserve a comeback, while others are best left forgotten.

Thanksgiving meals commonly center on turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, stuffing, and a vegetable, with green bean casserole widely popular. Individual households vary, adding personal favorites such as balsamic-glazed Brussels sprouts, creamed spinach, mac 'n' cheese, sweet potatoes, or regional items like manicotti in Italian American homes. Several formerly common dishes have fallen out of favor; some merit revival while others are better forgotten. A Pennsylvania-based Thanksgiving exemplifies these variations, showing how regional and family traditions shape the table. The holiday emphasizes food, togetherness, and shared family traditions, validating whatever dishes families choose to include.
