In either case, Pa. Thanksgiving celebrators really enjoy it, as do residents in New Hampshire and Maine.

Carb-centric indulgences at a Thanksgiving table hold great sway with many holiday eaters across the nation. Rolls, cornbread, homemade or store-bought biscuits, and crescent rolls all made regional lists as favorites.

That green-bean casserole aunts are famous for bringing? Maybe they hail from Ohio or Indiana, whose populations rated it tops.

South Dakota and New York tables are laden sweet potatoes as a favorite side; Alabama opts for an even richer variation: sweet potato casserole.
