Zodiac Signs as Thanksgiving Foods

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at URI chapter.

Ever wondered what kind of Thanksgiving food your zodiac sign would be based on typical stereotypes? Keep reading if you’re curious. 

Aries: The Turkey

Aries are very ambitious and the Thanksgiving turkey is a HUGE part of the meal. You definitely do not want to mess it up! The turkey is usually the center of attention, just as an Aries would be. 

Taurus: Bread

Just like a Taurus, bread is a very reliable part of the meal. It’s very hard to mess up bread and it generally is liked by even the pickiest eaters. Whether it’s a dinner roll, a biscuit or a crescent roll, bread is delicious.

 

Gemini: Cranberry Sauce

Just like a Gemini, cranberry sauce is a bit of an acquired taste. Some people like it, others not so much. Whether it’s canned or made from scratch, this dish is definitely unique.

Cancer: Sweet Potato Casserole

Like sweet potato casserole, a Cancer has many different layers to them. They are also usually emotionally complicated, just like how the recipe for sweet potato casserole can get complicated.

Leo: Pumpkin Pie

Pumpkin pie is iconic. Turkey is the main course paired with delicious sides, but dessert is its own category, and who better to be the star of the dessert course than a Leo?

Virgo: Gravy

A Virgo tends to be super helpful and also very practical, and gravy helps carry along certain dishes when they lack in flavor. When the turkey is dry, you just slap some gravy right on there. It’s also very easy to whip up last minute.

Libra: Stuffing

The stuffing can be interpreted as a crowd-pleaser, much like a Libra. There’s nothing too wild about it but people still look for it at the table. A Libra likes to keep people happy and that’s exactly what stuffing does.

Scorpio: Brussel sprouts

People have very polarizing opinions about brussels sprouts and Scorpios. It’s usually a “love-them or hate-them” type of relationship. Perhaps you’ll give brussels sprouts another shot this Thanksgiving? Or just become friends with a Scorpio?

Sagittarius: Mac and Cheese

Mac and cheese just recently have become a popular dish for Thanksgiving but it’s a fun new take on a side dish. Just like mac and cheese, most Sagittarius’ are fun and a little out there, and each one is different in their own way.

Capricorn: Mashed Potatoes

Just like mashed potatoes, a Capricorn may seem a little reserved at first. However, after you’ve gotten past the plain white goop-look, and you try it, you taste this delicious, warm, buttery dish. Also, who doesn’t love mashed potatoes?

Aquarius: Green Bean Casserole

Aquarius’ are known to be very adventurous, and only an adventurous person could try a dish with green beans, cream of mushroom AND fried onions. This is also a very eccentric dish, comparable to the eccentric nature of an Aquarius.

Pisces: Butter

Butter makes everything better and a Pisces will try to make everything better. Butter is great at adapting to its surroundings but it knows when it’s not needed. Have a dry piece of bread? Butter is there for you. Having a rough day? Pisces’ are there for you.

Do you feel like it was accurate? Hopefully you now are excited to try different Thanksgiving foods and maybe become friends with different zodiac signs.
