Featuring hundreds of different dishes, Thanksgiving is the holiday any foodie dreams of. With that same thought in mind, the options can seem overwhelming. I asked UNL students their favorite type of food to get into the spirit of the holiday season.</p><h2>5. Stuffing</h2><p>A Thanksgiving staple coming in several different flavors, stuffing is the side that never goes wrong: light, fluffy and airy. Perfect to pair with anything on your Thanksgiving plate, overall, stuffing received 12% of the votes.</p><h2>4. Ham</h2><p>Next up is turkey's biggest competition, ham. While low on the Thanksgiving list, ham typically shines during the Christmas season. Though a versatile dish due to its many cooking varieties, ham holds 14% of the vote, pushing it up on our Thanksgiving top five. But don't worry, ham lovers. The holidays are far from over, and its time will come.</p><h2>3. Green bean casserole</h2><p>Holding a special place in our Midwest hearts and Thanksgiving plates is green bean casserole. Let's be frank, what Midwesterner doesn't like a good casserole? Through the creamy layers and crispy toppings, this iconic dish earns its top five spot, holding 18% of the votes. Additionally, this iconic dish was invented in New Jersey circa the 1950s, with the original name of the dish being called the "green bean bake." This dish was originally made up primarily of mushrooms and a few green beans; luckily, this Thanksgiving staple has been updated to what it is today.</p><h2>2. Pumpkin pie</h2><p>Every time fall comes around, the pumpkin crew prepares for its season of pumpkin-flavored delicacies. There is nothing more classic than a slice of pumpkin pie. Holding an impressive 20% of the votes, this Thanksgiving-time treasure has been around for over 370 years. Serving up smiles along with its whipped cream counterpart, pumpkin pie has nestled its way into a Thanksgiving classic. As it is the spirit of the season, check out Willa Cather Dining Center for the best pumpkin pie on campus!</p><h2>1. Turkey</h2><p>Reigning supreme is none other than the Thanksgiving turkey, holding an outstanding total of 24% of the votes. Turkey is not only a food on our Thanksgiving plates but a tradition spanning hundreds of years. With turkey being the face of Thanksgiving, it is no surprise it managed to take the No. 1 spot. I mean, really, has there ever been a Thanksgiving without a turkey? Being as classic as it is, turkey hasn't always held the crown. Historians state that the first Thanksgiving of 1621 featured venison, otherwise known as deer meat, for the main dish of the night. Over time, that main dish evolved into the king of Thanksgiving we now know it to be.</p><p>While all dishes earned their spots, some honorable mentions include dinner rolls, specifically King's Hawaiian, yams, cranberry sauce and corn dip. With Thanksgiving rapidly approaching, I hope this list gets you hungry for the holiday classics. Happy eating, Huskers!</p><figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=0qVfO0_1GvvcsXS00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0qVfO0_1GvvcsXS00" width="1763" height="1175" ></figure></div></body>
