Stuffing: The Final Frontier

[Gingersnap]

Stuffing generates almost as much passion as potato salad and the eternal Mayo versus Miracle Whip debate.

Draw your battle lines: stale bread or store bought, cube versus crumbled, cornbread versus regular, sage versus oysters, stuffing versus dressing. Sausage? Giblet? Sweet?

Choose your weapons. :p

I sure do miss my Mother's cooking. She made the very best stuffing.
Always from scratch, and her secret she used to tell me was using
as many different kinds of breads as she could. She used the stale bread,
the cornbread, the crumbled up left over hot dog buns, nothing of bread like
substance was left to be found in the house when she got to making her
stuffing. She put lots of sage and then more sage. Onions chopped up,
celery and I can't remember what all else. I should have written all that
down when I had the chance, but then again like most great cooks she
didn't ever go by recipes, she just started throwing things in and didn't
always use the same amounts or ingredients twice.

I myself make it out of a box. :o

Well, you could try a store-bought cube stuffing with lots of celery, onion, and sage added at home. :)

Dressing is baked in a pan outside the turkey, stuffing is baked in the turkey. Dried fresh homemade bread is much better than stale bread or store bought dried anemic bread!

Why yes Rock, that is true. Mother used to put some of her dressing
in the turkey, and the rest was baked outside in a pan. I always liked
the dressing from the pan better.

One other thing, try mixing a box of Uncle Ben's long grain and wild rice and some Andouille sausage in your stuffing along with some black olive bits.

Ah, Stuffing versus Dressing.

So it begins...the Bread Wars. :p

Just don't drip any snot in it!

It's Kay's stuffing, not mine.

If you would start eating healthier and quit running outside to close the garage door in your skivvies you wouldn't catch these colds!
