Readers' Forum: Thanksgiving food is overrated

By Universe Contributor
November 24, 2020 12:00 AM
Nov. 26 is the day we will all gather together and stuff ourselves with foods such as turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, casseroles and pies. Why do we feel the need to eat the same exact meal every year? The turkey always ends up tasting dry and the stuffing ends up soggy. The foods we indulge in on this day — that most people don't even enjoy — are simply because of tradition. The meal that ends up costing hundreds of dollars and days of preparing and prepping should be a meal that everyone should savor and actually look forward to eating.

Thanksgiving Leftovers

By Universe Contributor
November 30, 2018 12:00 AM
After preparing such a large feast for thanksgiving, most people are bound to have leftovers, but how long are those leftovers good for? It's normal to want to make your thanksgiving leftovers last as long as possible so you can get the most out of them, but the U.S. Department of Agriculture says certain foods have a time limit on them.
