Many people look forward to Thanksgiving every year. Others, not so much.

Whether it's due to the problematic origins of the American holiday or the possibility of unwelcome family drama at the dinner table, there are lots of people who might prefer to skip the annual November holiday altogether.

Some, however, just aren't fans of the spread.

Cranberry sauce — whether jellied or whole, homemade or canned — topped the list; it was the most disliked Thanksgiving food for nearly one-third of people surveyed in the poll.
