Features Ingredients Restaurant Seasonal Holiday Thanksgiving Catering Pies Pie Pie Guide Dessert Homepage 40+ Places For Great Holiday Pies in Connecticut (2023 Edition) April Guilbault November 15, 2023 In various rankings online, stuffing generally comes in first place on the Top 10 list of Thanksgiving foods. I personally cannot argue with that for one hot second. Desserts such as pumpkin or chocolate pie have hovered around 5th or 6th place, respectively, wistfully lagging behind mac and cheese and mashed potatoes but ahead of the love-it-or-hate it green bean casserole. Maybe the pollsters just weren’t inquiring about the right pies? Feel free to conduct your own research on the matter this holiday and let the new rankings begin. On this list there are probably some hot contenders for that #1 spot. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
