My ideal Thanksgiving menu consists of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, Caesar salad, and rolls with butter. A nice glass (or four) of red wine or champagne, and that's a wrap.

According to a survey compiled from Twitter Data and found on Meta's 'Terrible Maps' page, Idaho's least favorite Thanksgiving food is turkey. It's perfectly alright to serve brisket, prime rib, pork roast, or lamb in Idaho as an alternative to a gobbler.

Another survey put together by Instacart and The Harris Poll found that the most despised Thanksgiving dishes in America are candied yams, green bean casserole, and cranberry sauce.
