Canadians have different tastes when it comes to their favourite Thanksgiving Day dishes and desserts.<\/p>\n

While turkey is the anchor of nearly every Thanksgiving, Canadians have varying opinions on how best to complement their roasted birds.<\/p>\n

International food magazine, Chef’s Pencil<\/a>, analyzed Google Trends based on the number of searches done last year around Thanksgiving to determine each province’s all-time favourite side dishes and desserts.<\/p>\n

Mashed potatoes are one of the most popular side dishes in all the provinces but were most preferred in Manitoba, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nunavut.<\/p>\n

Brussels sprouts, roasted or with ham, are the top favorite in British Columbia, Alberta, and the Yukon.<\/p>\n

Scalloped potatoes are the number-one side dish in Newfoundland and Labrador and Butternut squash, roasted or as a soup, is the top favorite side dish in Ontario, Quebec, and Nova Scotia, according to Chef’s Pencil.<\/p>\n

When it comes to sauces, gravy wins the popularity contest in almost all provinces except Newfoundland and Labrador, where cranberry sauce is king.<\/p>\n

Not every province prefers the classic slice of pumpkin pie, either.<\/p>\n

In Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador, apple pie reigns supreme. New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island also prefer apple crisp to pumpkin pie.<\/p>\n

Chef’s Pencil analyzed the data around Thanksgiving last year, focusing on the five days when the typical Thanksgiving food frenzy is highest. Specifically, the magazine reported on Google Trends data Oct. 8 through 12, as recipe search activity remains high one day after Thanksgiving, according to the magazine.<\/p>\n
