Everything is bigger in Texas, and that includes how we celebrate our favorite holidays. For me, I love Thanksgiving. It combines some of my favorite things on earth, I have the day off work, I’m spending time with family, eating delicious food and watching football. 

Everyone has their own favorites when it comes to Thanksgiving but often many of the same food items are served at most houses in the Lone Star State. But there are always a few dishes that are special to each family, which is why I wanted to discuss some of the most popular Thanksgiving foods in Texas.  

Different Cultures Bring Different Traditions 

Texas is full of so many people with different backgrounds, and they all love to share their traditions and foods with others. Which is another reason why Texas is better than all other states. But it’s also why you might see some foods listed below that you wouldn’t have expected to be on the list of most popular Thanksgiving foods.
