The turkey is the most iconic part of Thanksgiving dinner, and not to take away its shine or anything, but it’s definitely not the BEST part of the meal. Turkey is simply an outlet for my uncle to use his fancy new electric carver and a vessel for which I can eat a ton of delicious gravy. My friends, as we all know, it’s actually all about the sides, and this year, a survey found that when it comes to our favorite ones, Americans are full of surprises.
Career site Zippia recently released a map of peoples’ favorite Thanksgiving sides by state. They used Google trends to find the favorite of more than 20 traditional side dishes to see which ones won out. It’s not a perfect system because every family serves something a little bit different but it’s still fun to look at!
