It's time for Thanksgiving dinner, and with 81% of Americans planning to participate are you serving the most popular dishes?
A recent YouGov study, conducted among 1,595 U.S. adults between November 17-19, has shed light on which dishes are the most and least popular.
What Americans plan to eat at Thanksgiving dinner
Of course Turkey was the #1 choice with 67% choosing it, Mashed potatoes came in 2nd with 56%, #3 kinda shocked me with Bread or rolls rolling in with a strong 55%. Macaroni and cheese only shows up at 27% nationally, but rates higher here in the south, and one of my favorites is not one of theirs with Brussel sprouts coming in last with a measly 10%. More for me?19% of those who responded with Will Not Celebrate Thanksgiving this year. I'm praying that their days are at least filled with thankfulness.
