Of course we all have our tried-and-true supper standbys that we know how to make by heart, but sometimes you just need to head to Google for some inspiration when you fall into a recipe rut. And according to Google Trends, what you end up typing into that search bar can depend on what state you live in.
Not shockingly, many states are searching for chicken or some variation on chicken, but other states seem to have some unique cravings (chicken spaghetti or egg burgers, anyone?). While white meat appears to be slightly more popular in the Northeast, and a swath of the South is really into red meat, seafood searches are surprisingly more common in the middle of the U.S. instead of on the coasts (enjoy your lobster, Wyoming!).
