If you had the power to banish one Thanksgiving side, what would it be?

Putting together the perfect Thanksgiving plate takes years of practice and a bit of luck. Your mashed-potato wall needs to hold back the gravy. Your cranberry sauce needs to be solid enough not to leak into everything. And you need plate discipline — the strength to avoid selecting too much of any one thing.

But perfection is always out of our grasp and will be until we have the power to banish a single Thanksgiving side from the table. My candidate? The green bean casserole.
