President Obama and the first family will sit down to a traditional Thanksgiving meal at the White House on Thursday, featuring all of the holiday favorites plus a delectable assortment of pies.
The main course will consist of thyme-roasted turkey, honey-baked ham, and prime rib with creamed horseradish, according to White House official.Side dishes include time-honored classics – green bean casserole, cornbread stuffing, and Yukon Gold mashed potatoes – and a few modern twists, such as mac and cheese and sweet potatoes served au gratin.
Obama’s favorite desert, pie, will once again be a prominent fixture at the holiday meal. The same six pies as last year – apple, banana cream, cherry, coconut, pecan and pumpkin – will be served, down from nine varieties two years ago.
The president will be rooting for his Chicago Bears, who take on the division-leading Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field on Thursday evening.
