Stuffing is the food of the proletariat and more people need to take it serious and advocate for stuffing to be served all around the world.
It's very affordable, it's filling, it's easy as fuck to make, even in big batches, it requires virtually no energy, just hot water in most cases. You can add tons of stuff it to really liven it up. You can make it from leftover bread and other ingredients that otherwise would have gone uneaten. You can basically make it however you want, adding your own proteins, or gravy (i like country gravy personally) you can add various seasonal fruits and a big list of veggies. I could eat it for breakfast, it feels no different than say an oatmeal. IT'S NOT JUST FOR THANKSGIVING. Why oh why would we curse a wonderful, vegan-friendly food for one or two days out of the year? That is madness. Stouffer's really fucking dropped the ball with their marketing man, just pathetic.
Listen, before one of you "well awkshullys" me let me just say, yes, I understand there might be this one place you know of like Boston Market that has it, or some random small hole in the wall diner. I'm not saying it doesn't exist outside of thanksgiving, I'm saying it should be a more staple food EVERYWHERE. I always look for it, almost any American "style" food place I go to, it's the first thing I look for and almost always end up getting something like biscuits and gravy instead because they don't have it—almost no where has it. I've searched up and down southern Oregon, the entire California coast, and a little bit of northern Florida. It's so rare for a place to have it, but obviously not impossible. We an change that though.
In conclusion, stuffing is good as fuck, let's rise up against this notion that it's only for thanksgiving, cause no one ever talks about it. we need to fight for the stuffing, thank you for reading
I do one with crumbled breakfast sausage, bell peppers and onions a lot. I'll also make some with chicken as well usually with a country gravy which makes the texture sloppy but idgaf, it's just so easy to mix it all together at the end of cooking them both and just shovel it into my mouth with a spoon. You can also do of course a thanksgiving style one with turkey and brown gravy. I've also had apple cinnamon spice one before that was a good take on it. I mean it's really limitless what you can do with it if you're willing to experiment.
