Supplementary notes

The source adds the following information: "Every person was randomly assigned to see 14 different dishes, which appeared in seven head-to-head matchups. For each, respondents were asked to indicate the better dish of the two. In the instructions, we told respondents: “On each of the next few pages, you will see two Thanksgiving dishes. On each page, we would like you to select the Thanksgiving dish that you think is the better one. You will see 7 different matchups between Thanksgiving dishes.” YouGov scored dishes by looking at their “win percentage” or how often they were selected as the better dish in a head-to-head matchup."
