We all need some comfort these days, and what better way to deliver but with good food.

What you're craving probably depends on where you live in the U.S. TimeOut looked at Google Trends to see what Americans were snacking on to help get them through the mess of 2020. One hundred recipes considered "comfort food" were on their list for consideration. So, what was Oregon residents craving the most last year?

It looks like the people of the Beaver State wanted corn cakes! Think of them as medallion-sized pancakes made with actual corn bits and corn flour. Still yummy when paired with a protein or eaten plain.

Grilled cheese was the most common dish, being the top pick across six states, followed by fried chicken with four states. Overall, most states had their own specific dish they wanted. Washington wanted Swedish pancakes, Mississippians are feeling jambalaya, and so on.
