The Most Popular Side Dish in Colorado

Every year, I'm the only one who loves this side dish at my gatherings. Come to find out, this same one is our thing in Colorado; so now, I love it even more.

I don't think we can count stuffing, corn, or mashed potatoes, because they're just included with the turkey, so it seems. It's that "third layer" of holiday cuisine that starts to show a person's individuality; when you start hearing comments like "You enjoy that, I'm heading for the raisin-filled bread pudding!"

States with the weirdest side-dish favorites, in my humble opinion:

Alabama and Georgia: Squash casserole. Just why?
Arizona: Pumpkin roll. What is it?
Florida: Corn souffle. Nothing surprises me in Florida, so sure.
Idaho: Sourdough bread. Sure, if there's nothing else around.
Kentucky: Broccoli casserole. A casserole out of my favorite veggie? Any day but Thanksgiving, please.
Michigan: Roasted brussel sprouts. Blarf.
New Jersey: Butternut squash soup. Why would you do that to yourself.
North Carolina and Virginia: Corn pudding. A side dish or a lumpy dessert?
Texas: Broccoli rice casserole. I think I might cry.

To put that into perspective: Colorado's favorite side dish is the ALL-MIGHTTYYYY

I need others to join me in this favorite. We have to band together so my waist band doesn't double. I will eat the entire pie if left to my own devices!
