Thanksgiving is coming up on Thursday already and all I can think about is the delicious meal that's going to be served up.  Turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, pumpkin pie and so much more! I love the entire meal but there's one piece of it I cannot live without.

The whole Thanksgiving meal is amazing, everything from the juicy turkey to the sweet pumpkin pie.  I literally could eat and eat and eat more.  It is literally the one day of the year where it is totally acceptable to eat three or four times the number of calories you should consume in one day and then lay around for the rest of the day.

I can forgo all of the rest of the food if I can just have my mashed potatoes and gravy.  It is seriously the best part of the meal, especially if the potatoes are cooked just right and the gravy is made with drippings from the turkey.  Not that I want to anytime soon, but when I die I want to go having eaten too many mashed potatoes.  I just feel that strongly about them.

I will also argue that the potatoes and gravy enhance the flavor of the rest of the meal. I mean who doesn't love putting a little gravy on their turkey or dipping the dinner rolls in it. It's just so amazing!

Okay, so now that I've shared my love of mashed potatoes and gravy with you, take the poll below and tell me what Thanksgiving dish you can't live without.
