Thanksgiving Side Dishes

Pop culture website "Thrillest" posted the following map on Twitter yesterday, showing what they've discovered to be the most popular side dishes for Thanksgiving dinners around the country.


At first glance, I noticed Alaska knows what's good. Hashbrown casserole. Oh yes, pass that my way, please.

  

Maine is an outlier, the only one on the map that prefers a "side salad." Honestly, I'd be ok with it compared to the sweet potato casserole of Florida or the Green Bean casserole in several other states. 


I also cannot believe that Arkansas considers "white gravy" a side dish and not a condiment... 


Here in New York, the preferred dish is stuffing. Yes, we certainly haves stuffing for our meal every year. I noticed down south they have "dressing," which is what most of what my family calls stuffing.  


So, I looked up the difference. It's mostly a regional difference, but technically, there is a difference. Stuffing is literally cooked while "stuffed" inside the turkey, and the dressing is cooked up all alone in its own dish. Who knew?  


Personally, I'd have to say Utah, Oklahoma, Missouri, and West Virginia are right. The Kings Hawaiian rolls we have for dinner every year are my favorite.  


What say you?
