The Honey Baked Ham Company conducted a nationwide survey to determine each state’s favorite leftover side dish.
It turns out, America really loves stuffing…like REALLY, really loves stuffing, with 48 states selecting this side dish as their favorite Thanksgiving leftover.
Stuffing was the clear favorite in Michigan (25%), followed by Mashed Potatoes (18%) and Green Bean Casserole (10%).
The Honey Baked Ham Company also took a look at how long leftovers typically last in America’s households. On average, Michigan residents eat their leftovers in 3 days.
Other fun facts:
