Usher and Ashley McBryde Think Banana Pudding Should Be a Thanksgiving Staple. Do You? (Exclusive)

The two stars share a love of the popular dessert, and say it deserves a spot on your Turkey Day menu

Usher and Ashley McBryde have similar holiday taste.

In recent interviews with PEOPLE both the R&B crooner and country queen have brought up their love for banana pudding, and thoughts on adding it to this year's Thanksgiving menu.

When it comes to Usher's holiday plans, the star chatted about what was in store for Thanksgiving at the opening of his Flipper's Roller Boogie Palace skating rink residency at The Venetian Las Vegas on Nov. 16. While he's a pro on skates and on stage, he revealed he's not nearly as talented in the kitchen.

"I wouldn't bank on me for Thanksgiving dinner," he shared with a laugh. Currently in the midst of his Past, Present, Future Tour, the hit singer says that when it comes to holiday cooking, "I try. I might be all right [making] the mac and cheese and maybe banana pudding, but otherwise, no."

The Southern dessert Usher mentioned knowing how to whip up for his family — traditionally made using banana slices, pudding and vanilla wafers — has long made an appearance on American dinner tables. But McBryde wants to take it a step further. She recently told PEOPLE that it's high time to make banana pudding a Thanksgiving go-to.

As for her own family's menu, "mostly my plans are green bean casserole," the "Light On in the Kitchen" singer told PEOPLE on the red carpet at last week's CMA Awards in Nashville. "But you know what I think we should add to traditional Thanksgiving desserts," she added, "Banana pudding!"

The star continued, "There's always like four kinds of pie and hardly any puddings." So committed is she to elevating the dessert this year, McBryde said she's willing to take her sweet message on the road. "Banana pudding. Put in on a sticker, I'll put it on my truck."

According to Food & Wine, "The first mention of banana pudding was in an 1878 New York Times column, and the first recipe was published in Good Housekeeping in 1888. The original recipe was a variation of the English trifle, made with layers of custard, fruit, sponge cake, and whipped cream."

While bananas can sometimes be a divisive food choice, Usher and McBryde might be on to something new and delightful this holiday season.
