Words by Ambar Ramirez & Carmen Macri
Ambar: It’s that time of year again—the time those of us who somehow always say the wrong thing dread the most. Thanksgiving.
Carmen: And for those of us who are a little less dramatic… a time to overindulge in liquor, stuffing and pumpkin pie — and to spend quality time with the family.
Ambar: Regardless of whether this is a holiday you look forward to or look forward to it being over, we have found that your favorite side dish says a lot about your personality.
Carmen: We mean a lot. When I spent holidays with an ex or their family, I was always looking at their plate and judging intently their choice of sides. So without further ado, here is what your go-to Thanksgiving sides say about you.
Ambar: If your favorite side dish is sweet potato casserole, you’re the type of person who knows exactly what they want and isn’t afraid to go after it. Your friends often label you as sweet and confident but deep down, you’re quite shy and stay away from the limelight.
Carmen: Cranberry sauce. You are an old soul or at least pretend to be. Your house is filled with “vintage finds” or in other words, your since-passed relatives’ old furniture. You only listen to music on vinyl because “that’s just how it’s meant to be heard.” You are a sweetheart to your core and don’t care about the status quo.
Ambar: If you can’t start your day without a cup of coffee and are the one always organizing plans for your friend group, chances are the first side dish you reach for is stuffing. Stuffing lovers tend to be minimalists at heart and are often remarkably particular about recycling. And there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that — in fact, you could say stuffing fans are what keep the world turning.
Carmen: If your favorite side dish is mashed potatoes and gravy, you enjoy the smaller things. Your style is as timeless as your palette. Some might call you basic, but they just don’t understand that sometimes, less is more. You like to play it safe, and it usually pays off.
Ambar: Green bean casserole. Like one of the ingredients that go into this savory dish, you’re a layered individual and are constantly reminding people of it. You don’t shy away from difficult conversations and often love to stir the pot. In short, you’re an instigator and conspiracist.
Carmen: If you have spent most of your adult life striving to heal your inner child, odds are, the first dish you aim for when walking up to the table is a nice hot scoop of mac and cheese — whether it’s truffle, breaded or plain Jane. You tend to put everyone’s feelings above your own and cry at every commercial you watch. You crave comfort food as much as you crave spending quality time with your friends and family.
Ambar: If your favorite side dish is cornbread, you’re perfect, amazing, and undeniably cool. You’re often considered the golden child and always on the go. In fact, there’s a good chance you won’t even make it to family Thanksgiving dinner because you’ll be on a yacht in Greece.
Carmen: You are my type of guy if you just load your plate up with dinner rolls. Carbs? Never heard of them. Getting properly stuffed up before even beginning the main dish? Who cares? Your approach to life is seeking out the most pleasure with whatever you do. You have never taken life seriously and never plan to. You are all about fulfillment — clearly.
