Editor’s note: All of this food tastes better at my house than at your house, but ya know, rock rock on.
This list was made in conjunction with my family. Several items were hotly contested and debated.
10. Red Velvet Cake
This ain’t nothing but love in a pan.
9. Turkey
Everybody ain’t able on the day-after turkey, though; it’s important to know who cooked that bird in the first place.
8. Pasta Salad
Only if made by the hands of my family. None of y’all’s people’s food counts here.
7. Sweet Potatoes
If you even think about bringing some pumpkin anything ’round my way, just perish. Panama says just perish.
6. Rolls
That day-after microwave softness is real. Microwave softness is also what Lord Jamar calls today’s hip-hop scene.
5. Jiffy Cornbread
Fight me, bro.
4. Collard Greens
Even Shirley Caesar knows what’s up here.
3. Dressing
Not that stuffing bullshit some of you swear is a thing—it’s not.
2. Ham
Some of you don’t eat pork. That’s cool.
1. Macaroni and Cheese
This assumes that you still have any left. You probably don’t.
