One food group that is always on my Thanksgiving plate is bread—with butter, of course! With the beloved holiday just around the corner, Danish Creamery recently unveiled insights into how Americans plan their holiday feasts. Results show that traditional foods are cherished and that butter is the common denominator that transforms them into must-have favorites.
“Thanksgiving is all about tradition, but that doesn’t mean you can’t add a little twist,” says Priya Kumar, Vice President of Marketing at Challenge Dairy Products. “Whether you’re keeping it classic with mashed potatoes or trying a new dessert, Danish Creamery European Style Butter adds that extra richness, making every dish even more delicious.”
Mashed potatoes, stuffing, and rolls emerged as the top dishes in the survey, according to a press release. While 74 percent of respondents stick to their trusted family recipes, 26 percent plan to add a new recipe this year, experimenting with fresh flavors and dishes. Either way, butter plays a key role in both the tried-and-true and the new.
