What Delectable Thanksgiving Side Dish Is Arkansas’s Favorite?

Do you know what the most popular Thanksgiving side dish is in Arkansas? 

Can you believe that Thanksgiving is just a little over a week away? This is one of my favorite holidays. It is a chance for the family to get together and enjoy a great meal and some football of course.

Our Thanksgiving meals like most folks are always a great mix of traditional food and sides. My father-in-law is in charge of the meats and the turkey and ham are always delicious, and my mother has everyone in the family asking her for a non-traditional food, eggrolls.

From my uncle's hot water cornbread to my aunt's corn casserole, even the traditional mac and cheese, the rolls, and my granny Sue's cornbread dressing, it is all so good.

But what is the most popular Thanksgiving side dish in Arkansas? Will it be the traditional cornbread dressing? Maybe it will be something way out of left field and surprise us all.
