    For me it’s the canned cranberries. Everyone always wants the fresh stuff. Fuck that. Gimme that highly processed flavored corn syrup in a log, please.

      Well, I’ll have to disagree. I’ll only eat the fresh stuff. That gelatinous log is what made me think I hated the stuff. The first year I had fresh was a game changer. That’s all we do now. But to each their own and I hope you have as much gelatinous log as you want.

      I’m with ya. Cranberry sauce is S-tier, and I don’t discriminate between fresh or canned.

      Whatever form cranberry sauce comes in, please put it in my mouth

        I like it on a sandwich the most. Piece of turkey, piece of cran log, some stuffing, some gravy, and a bit of sweet potatoes. Mmmmmmm.

        I think they’re objecting to you calling it “dressing” instead of stuffing, even though it’s usually recommended to cook it outside the bird and thus “dressing” is actually the more correct term making you right.

          The recommendation to cook dressing instead of stuffing for food safety reasons is only for the wackos that add sausage

            I haven’t consumed every piece of media on the planet so I can’t speak to the reference you’re making, but no, no it is not.

            It is recommended to not stuff the bird because a turkey is large enough that stuffing will significantly increase cooking time and without care it is very easy to undercook the now solid interior, which can then soak bacteria-ladden juices into the stuffing which has not reached sufficient temperatures to kill said offending bacteria.

            Stuff your small birds like chickens; dress your big birds like turkey.

              The best recommendation of all in my book is to just use a thermometer. Never cook meat by time, always do it by temperature, it’s the only way to know what is actually happening in there.

              It’s probably still a good idea to not stuff the things, but if you do it by temp you at least wont poison yourself with raw bird juices.

          Dressing is the regional term in many parts of Canada. Sounds like the same may exist in parts of the United States.

    Do you drizzle the stovetop dressing on your stovetop stuffing?

      Dressing is stuffing cooked on its own as a side; stuffing is dressing stuffed into a carcass.

      They just mean Stovetop Stuffing but cooked as dressing, I’m sure.

    A- stuffing isn’t that great too begin with.

    B- shitty packaged mass production stuffing is definitely the bottom tier of stuffing.

        It tastes like stale onion and sadness.

        Y’all need to up your kitchen game; there’s an entire culinary world to explore beyond the 6 boxed meals your moms made halfassedly in the 90s.

            I’m not. Stovetop tastes like shit, no matter who makes it. Cheap mass-produced dried bread with the cheapest possible quality spices & onions.

            If you can’t comprehend how a homemade stuffing with quality ingredients is vastly better than a shitty box from Kraft foods, then I have to assume you think McDonald’s is gourmet haute cuisine.

          Look.

          I’ve dined at Michelin Star restaurants. And I appreciate the finer things in life.

          But if someone invites me to McDonald’s, I’m still going.
