Thanksgiving Food Comparisons for the Iowa Hawkeyes: 2023 Edition

Happy Thanksgiving, Hawkeyes! Who’s the turkey? Who’s the gravy? Who’s the stuffing? Your Iowa Thanksgiving food comparisons in 2023.

Round two, here we go! Last year I attempted to make comparisons of various Thanksgiving food items to members of the Iowa football team. It’s the perfect combination of two things synonymous with fall, football and the Thanksgiving feast.

It’s that time of year again, Thanksgiving day. We all have a lot to be thankful for in our lives and with our Hawkeyes. Kirk Ferentz and the boys brought home the Big Ten West division championship and will be heading back to the Big Ten Championship! That’s definitely worth celebrating with a massive feast!

For the second year, I am attempting to make food comparisons for Iowa football, and I gave myself a bit more of a challenge. I included even more food items, including some special desserts into the mix.

I tried to encompass most of the traditional foods of the holiday, so if you have some particular item that only your family features it will not be on this list. I’d be glad to hear what comparison you would make to that food. Without further ado, I’m hungry, let’s talk about some food!
