This Is the Most Hated Christmas Dish, Survey Says
If you're planning on making this for Christmas dinner, you might want to save yourself the trouble.
While you may have your holiday gifts wrapped and ready to hand out, chances are if you're cooking Christmas dinner this year, you've still got a lot of cooking to look forward to, even if it's for a smaller crowd. However, there's a big difference between making a lavish holiday spread and making one your loved ones will actually want to eat. This year, YouGov polled 1,140 Americans on their preferred holiday dishes, asking them to rank two different dishes against one another in multiple rounds of questioning. And while some dishes garnered near-universal acclaim, there was one that's undeniably the most reviled Christmas dish, according to those polled. Read on to discover if an essential component of your holiday menu is likely to go uneaten this year.
