Every holiday has something that makes it special and exciting. For Halloween it’s candy, for Christmas it’s presents, and for Thanksgiving it’s food. Though having a giant feast does not have much to do with being thankful, much like candy and presents are not fundamentally connected to remembering the dead or celebrating the birth of Christ, food has overtime arguably become the most important part of the Thanksgiving experience. In celebration of this holiday and all its deliciousness, we asked our fellow Lancers to take a survey about their favorite Thanksgiving treats.

Additionally, a few Lancers shared their favorite twists on classic Thanksgiving Dishes
