As Thanksgiving break approaches, BYU students and faculty have begun to dream about their thankful feast. Many envision the roasted turkey or ham, stuffing and cranberry sauce. Some even salivate as their eyes pass over imaginary potatoes and gravy, buttered rolls, sweet potatoes and green bean casserole. A few even dare to tempt daydreams of freshly baked pumpkin pie being pulled out of the oven and hopefully put into their tummies. Whatever that personal Thanksgiving favorite is, it seems crucial it be at the Thanksgiving dinner table in order to fulfill that perfect food dream. So if you were a food at your Thanksgiving table, what would you be?
“I would be mashed potatoes because you would fit in with everything, everyone loves you, no one would ever pass you up and you have a great texture.” — Peter Johnson, global supply chain, Park City“The pumpkin pie probably because it is spunky and delicious. It makes me happy, and I like to make people happy.” — Kira Johnson, social culture anthropology, Kaysville“I would be cranberry sauce because it has a dominating flavor and you only need a little bit of it to taste good.” — Daniel Friebe, philosophy, San Diego.“I would be stuffing because I have always wanted to see the inside of a turkey.” — Andrew Carlson, mechanical engineering, Sacramento.“I would be my grandma’s seven-layer jello because I feel like I am pretty random and spontaneous, and I have a lot of layers to my personality.” — Abby Falke, family studies, Turlock, Calif.
