With Thanksgiving just around the corner, it’s almost time to feast on a variety of delicious foods. As you stuff your face with divine turkey and fluffy mashed potatoes, you may be wondering, “Which of these foods matches my zodiac?”

Starting with the star of the show, the turkey! Leos fit turkeys to a T: dramatic, passionate, and always the center of attention. Despite being the most memorable dish at the Thanksgiving table, people prefer the other dishes much more.

Coming up next is mashed potatoes, the most beloved Thanksgiving dish. Pisces perfectly aligns with mashed potatoes, with their sensitive, empathetic nature. Pisces are the last zodiac, making them a combination of all the other signs in one.

Cancers are kind and nurturing and are as sweet as a sweet potato! At times, their emotions may come across as overbearing, but their presence provides a unique flavor to any occasion. Sharing the spot with Cancer is Scorpio, as Scorpios have both a sweet and savory side.

Next up is rolls. Rolls can either be soft and fluffy or hard and crunchy. They can be perfectly paired with some butter and enjoyed with a delicious entrée. Although rolls have a delicious taste, they are rather bland and the average Joe of the Thanksgiving feast. This is similar to the practical, modest character of Virgos.

Unlike rolls, cranberry sauce is full of flavor and pizzazz! Cranberry sauce is tart, similar to Aquarian’s eccentricity, rebellion, and innovation. Oppositely, it has a subtle sweetness to it, just like Aquarians have a sensitive side.

Mac and cheese is a year-round favorite but also has an opportunity to shine at Thanksgiving dinner. The rich, creamy consistency tastes excellent alongside the variety of flavors at the table. Just like Aries, mac and cheese is ambitious and competitive, maintaining its place as one of the most popular foods in the United States.

Stuffing is the least uniform Thanksgiving dish. Everyone cooks stuffing differently, incorporating different ingredients, resulting in highly diverse tastes and textures. Like stuffing, Sagittariuses are exploratory and curious, always trying new things and going above and beyond. They are naturally optimistic and amusing. As Nicki Minaj once said, “Sagittarius, so you know I’m an optimist.”

What would stuffing or mashed potatoes be without gravy? Gravy is a necessity for a Thanksgiving dinner, providing an integral component to the foods we all love. Like Libras, Gravy helps maintain an equilibrium. Libras strive for symmetry in their daily life, similar to how gravy creates the balance of flavors in a Thanksgiving feast. Libras crave validation and tend to mirror the person they’re talking to.

Green bean casserole is creamy and savory, providing an interesting twist on the classic green beans alongside cream of mushroom soup and French fried onions. Green bean casserole is sometimes made too watery or doesn’t have the right consistency. It can be stubborn to make it just right, similar to how Tauruses have stubborn personalities. However, green bean casserole is a dish that is homey and down-to-earth, just like Tauruses.

Quite possibly the best part of Thanksgiving dinner is the dessert, especially pumpkin pie. Just like pumpkin pie, Capricorns are competitive. It’s unlikely that anyone will leave the dinner table without having a slice of pumpkin pie. Capricorns can be self-absorbed, but they are also honest and loyal.

Finally, there’s pecan pie. Pecan pie is one of those dishes that nobody likes but doesn’t say because they do not want to hurt their great granny’s feelings. This is the Gemini. Despite being hated, there are avid Gemini lovers, and there’s no denying that their extroversion and cleverness bring a lot of energy into a room.
