Most would agree that Thanksgiving is for friends, family, and—most importantly—food. In other words, this is the one time of year when it's acceptable to stuff your face with turkey, rolls, and green bean casserole. But no matter which way you slice it, nothing says Thanksgiving quite like a good, old-fashioned pie. Read up on these Thanksgiving "facts" that are actually untrue. Some families prefer a perfect piece of pecan, while others like a satisfying slice of sweet potato. But which pie takes the cake, so to speak?
