Stuffing INSIDE the turkey or OUTSIDE…. ??

 

[BrendaBear]

Ok ok ok ok … enough.

Is it time for one of your out there questions that melts my little brain again?

 

[Qky75]

Stuffing INSIDE the turkey or OUTSIDE…. ??

Umm...if it ain't inside it's dressing. If it's inside it's stuffing. Hence the descriptive word choice.

I call it stuffing both ways.


Suck it.

 

[UnquietDreams]

Dude! I am from New England. I must also mention my grandmother used to make mincemeat pie...

I didn't say only Southerners. But it was very popular in the South when I was there, and they seemed to claim it as their own. Take it up with them, yo!

It used to be, stuffing was stuffed in the bird to cook and absorb the flavors, but no one does that anymore - it is a bacteriological playground in there. The terms are pretty much regional for the same thing now.

Is that like stuffing?

Yes, but not cooked inside the turkey's carcass.

Yeah cuz that’s … yucky.

Oh this is a CHARGED conversation! Some people consider the difference to be that stuffing is cooked inside the bird and dressing is just cooked in a pan, and this was likely the most common difference in the beginning. The actual etymology of the word “dressing” used to describe the dish came about in the southern states in Victorian times because they thought “stuffing” sounded vulgar. Probably as a result of the cultural divide between north and south in the Victorian era (a little thing called the civil war), southerners continue to call it dressing and northerners continue to call it stuffing, regardless of the cooking method. Then StoveTop brand decided to further confuse people with their marketing of “StoveTop Stuffing” that was made (shockingly) on the stovetop and not stuffed inside a bird. Later, other brands like Mrs Cubbison’s marketed “dressing” mix made with cornbread and “stuffing” mix made with white bread, despite having the same cooking method. So for all practical purposes, the difference between stuffing vs dressing is cooking method and/or regional and/or ingredients.

I don't know if I've ever admitted this on S&S before, but I think now it is time...

I love Ranch.

I love ranch as a condiment. I hate it as a verb. Thanks S&S

Back to Thanksgiving food.



what is your LEAST favourite Thanksgiving food item?

Anything yams / sweet potatoes! Baked yams with marshmallow topping, sweet potato pie, whatev…all VILE! I will entertain no conflicting opinions on this matter.

Really, hard to be a snob when you also love 70s kung fu films, B-movies, drive in movies, and so horrible they are great movies as well.

Yes, we all know what you’re really snobby about is COFFEE

Is it chunky?

Depends on the competency of the gravy-maker, but generally no. The difference in giblet gravy is, as @lavendersilk or someone mentioned, they use the turkey giblets instead of just pan drippings. Flavor-wise, it reeks of liver, IMO.

Quite simple....yams are gross and not even the same species as a sweet potato. But...I get it

Are we arguing about thanksgiving foods?

We can all agree that canned cranberry sauce, sliced into circles is the way to go, right?

I bet you buy non-dairy creamer from locally sourced farms and margarine....and make trifle from cool whip and plastic fruit from Michael's Craft Store

Outside, regardless of ingredients.

Exactly! When you stuff it inside raw poultry cavities, neither the stuffing or the bird cooks properly.

They are both icky and taste burnt to me

My older brother once told me that cool whip is 1 hydrogen atom away from styrofoam. I have no idea if that’s true. But it does make styrofoam look more appetizing!


Kidding, of course, I could never eat styrofoam… the sound would be awful

plastic fruit from Michael's Craft Store

Is that not where you get your plastic fruit? I wouldn’t dare shop at Hobby Lobby

I can make cranberry sauce or a pretty great cranberry chutney from scratch, but I’m not above slumming it with a can of jellied cranberry sauce once in a while. When that happens, yes, sliced in circles is the way to go.

Well we all read what happens when you buy from the Lord...tables turn upside down and all the whipping....so yes, I buy from Michael's...now if only someone else would make a chicken sandwich with crack....

Same, fuck Hobby Lobby entirely! Michael’s and JoAnn are both acceptable, as far as I know.

The squeak against your teeth…*shudder*

 

[dawn_of_night]

When I made it, I used the giblets (the bag of stuff most people make a face at and throw away -- the liver, heart, gizzard, and neck) to make a stock that I used with the drippings as the base for the gravy. I didn't add the chopped giblets back, but apparently some people do.

*Nods*

Stovetop stuffing... Yes.... With mushrooms

Are Yams and Sweet Potatoes the Same? No, yams and sweet potatoes are not the same. Yams have rough, dark brown skin that is often compared to tree bark, and their flesh is dry and starchy like a regular potato. Sweet potatoes have smooth reddish skin, softer flesh (when cooked), and a sweet flavor.
