What’s better than Thanksgiving dinner itself? The leftovers!
A new survey showed 56% of Americans believe Thanksgiving dinner is ‘ruined’ if there aren’t any leftovers. Almost half (49%) think the main course makes the best leftovers over the side dishes (23%).
WHAT MAKES THE BEST THANKSGIVING LEFTOVERS?
- Turkey (62%)
- Mashed potatoes (46%)
- Stuffing/dressing (46%)
- Pumpkin pie (45%)
- Apple pie (41%)
- Green bean casserole (37%)
- Rolls (34%)
- Candied yams (33%)
- Gravy (32%)
- Cornbread (29%)
- Cranberry sauce (28%)
Microwaving was the most popular way to reheat the leftovers: 64% to 47% for baking.
Sadly, the survey found 8 pounds of turkey finds itself in the trash! The reason was it was ‘no longer edible’ (63%) and partly because a third in the survey forgot to save them properly.
