STATEN ISLAND N.Y. -- As Americans gear up for this year’s Thanksgiving feast, a recent report highlights the country’s favorite food trends around the holiday, including the debate over the best side dish to go with the turkey.
Campbell’s recently released its State of the Sides report, which identifies stuffing as the favorite Thanksgiving side dish, followed by mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole and mac & cheese.
“The results are in, and Americans love the sides,” said Gary Mazur, vice president of marketing, soup & broth, Campbell Soup Company.
The results of the report are based on a nationwide survey, in which 66% of people said they prefer side dishes to the main course, with 54% planning to try new recipes this year.
And what about the debate over which is better as a side dish -- a plate of mashed potatoes or stuffing? Campbell’s identified the favorite Thanksgiving carb in each state. Much of the Northeast, including New York, prefers stuffing. However, states like California, Oregon and Washington prefer mashed potatoes.
