Google\u2019s latest map of the top-searched Thanksgiving sides shows stuffing leading in 42 of 50 states (84%), green bean casserole in 4 states (8%), and sweet potato casserole in 2 states (4%). Then we\u2019ve got the loners at the bottom of the pile: cranberry sauce in Nevada and deviled eggs in New Hampshire, one state each, 2 percent apiece.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"3\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">If you\u2019re keeping score at home, that means the least popular sides are deviled eggsand cranberry sauce. I will defend the canned stuff to my last wobble, but the map is the map. As for New Hampshire riding for deviled eggs on Thanksgiving, I have some serious follow-up questions.<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"body-image\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-13\" data-node-id=\"4\" class=\"embed\">\n<div size=\"medium\" data-embed=\"body-image\" class=\"align-center size-medium embed css-y6m8k e1fodxfw4\">\n<div class=\"css-uwraif e1fodxfw3\">\n<div class=\"css-p7qblm e1mlxuuw0\"><img draggable=\"true\" alt=\"traditional stuffed turkey with side dishes for thanksgiving day\" title=\"google trends thanksgiving side dishes\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"859\" height=\"501\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent;width:100%;height:auto;\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/unnamed-1-69211d0fc8d97.png?resize=640:* 640w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/unnamed-1-69211d0fc8d97.png?resize=768:* 980w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/unnamed-1-69211d0fc8d97.png?resize=980:* 1120w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/unnamed-1-69211d0fc8d97.png?resize=980:* 1400w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/unnamed-1-69211d0fc8d97.png?resize=980:* 1800w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/unnamed-1-69211d0fc8d97.png?resize=980:* 2000w\" src=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/unnamed-1-69211d0fc8d97.png?resize=980:*\" class=\"css-0 e1g79fud0\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" data-dynamic-svg=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.delish.com\/_assets\/design-tokens\/fre\/static\/icons\/social\/pinterest.e8cf655.svg?primary=%2523ffffff\" loading=\"lazy\" data-testid=\"dynamic-svg-base\" height=\"auto\" width=\"auto\" alt=\"pinterest\" class=\"css-4lml0h e1mlxuuw1\"\/><\/div>\n<p><figcaption data-theme-key=\"photo-credit-figcaption\" class=\"css-1am3yn9 e1g9hcy40\"><span data-theme-key=\"photo-credit-creditor\" class=\"css-10bgxwr e1geg53v2\">Google Trends<\/span><\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"5\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">None of this shocks me, TBH, because sides have quietly become the main event at the dinner table. Turkey is there for tradition and sandwiches the next day, but personally, I\u2019m in it for starch, cheese, pie, and the kind of plate that makes your sweater fit differently by halftime. <\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"watch-next\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-14\" data-node-id=\"6\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"7\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">There&#8217;s also a couple of fun side quests in the Google data. Fusion Thanksgiving is rising, with \u201cThanksgiving Asian fusion\u201d and \u201cIndian fusion Thanksgiving\u201d topping search growth, and \u201ckimchi mac and cheese\u201d leading the fusion recipe hunt. People are also trying to keep things lighter, at least on paper. The top \u201chealthy Thanksgiving sides\u201d searches in the past month are cranberry sauce and cauliflower mashed potatoes. <\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"editorial-link\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-15\" data-node-id=\"8\" class=\"embed\">\n<aside class=\"css-1fm2v8u e94w1mj9\">\n<h6 class=\"css-18s47pf e94w1mj7\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" data-theme-key=\"title-design-element-before\" class=\"css-0 eagam8p0\"\/><span class=\"css-8lle59 e94w1mj5\">Related Story<\/span><span aria-hidden=\"true\" data-theme-key=\"title-design-element-after\" class=\"css-0 eagam8p1\"\/><\/h6>\n<\/aside>\n<\/section>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"9\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Even logistics Turkey Day food questions are trending, too: \u201cHow to transport mac and cheese for a 4-hour drive\u201d and \u201chow to transport my raw turkey by car\u201d both spiked, which is the most Thanksgiving sentence of all time. And if you\u2019re gluten-free, you\u2019re not alone. \u201cThanksgiving gluten-free\u201d was searched over ten times more than \u201cThanksgiving high protein.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"10\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">So yes, turkey will show up.
