Each of these Thanksgiving recipes graced the dinner tables of some of our most famous presidents (and are also reader favorites) and will strike up some fun conversations this Thanksgiving.

I know what you’re thinking. Stuffed tomatoes? At Thanksgiving? We know. But it’s different. And sometimes we get sick of green beens. Plus, we did say these recipes were conversation starters! You can always change out the tomatoes for peppers.
