The traditional American Thanksgiving meal is pretty set in stone: turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, stuffing, and maybe a vegetable. 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 potatoes. 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.

Cranberry Soufflé Salad
It’s important to remember that I’m writing from the perspective of my family’s Pennsylvania-based Thanksgiving and that tables around the country can look way different than mine. And I think that is awesome. The holiday is all about food, bringing people together, and sharing in family traditions, so whatever that looks like for you, it counts as a Thanksgiving food!
Do you still have any of these dishes at your Thanksgiving table? Are there other dishes that your family makes that are as unique or interesting? Share them in the comments.
