Can you guess the most hated Thanksgiving food?

Through Instacart, The Harris Poll surveyed over 2,000 Americans
on which holiday food they
hate the most. Coming in at first with 29 percent was cranberry sauce, a typical Thanksgiving side dish. Nearly half of people surveyed
added that canned cranberry sauce was “disgusting.” Coming in at second in the poll was green bean casserole at 24 percent. Another casserole, sweet potato,
took third place with 22 percent. 21 percent in the poll said they didn’t like pumpkin pie, usually a popular Thanksgiving dessert. The same percentage adds that they hate pie, but still will stomach it. Even 19 percent also said they could do without Turkey, the centerpiece of traditional Thanksgiving meals.
