Kansas City, MO – Thanksgiving is just a couple of weeks away. And a map highlighting the most searched for Thanksgiving meal side items has gone viral.

The survey was conducted by Zippia, using Google trends to find which Thanksgiving side item each state was searching the most.

According to the map, the favorite side item in Missouri is rolls. While in Kansas – creamed corn. In most states – mashed potatoes are the most popular choice.

Here are a few other interesting discoveries:
- Mashed potatoes are the favorite of 10 states.
- Right behind mashed potatoes is mac n’ cheese- 7 states know that it’s not Thanksgiving without the cheesy, delicious dish.
- While most states are reaching for the carbs, Maine is all about that side salad.
