Thread Name: BS: Cornbread Dressing
Subject: RE: BS: Cornbread Dressing
I like cornbread -- but not in stuffing! Suffered through it for 10 years while married to a person with Southern (US) antecedents as did Curmudgeon for the same reason.

New Englander Tom and transplanted Midwesterner me both insist on bread stuffing -- with onions, celery, sausage, sage, etc. seasoning -- also good with chopped apples added. I like oysters, too, but usually eat them either raw or in stew. Water chestnuts also good for crunch, but Tom for some reason avoids them. The giblets go in the gravy (unless Tom's making the gravy; sigh.)

That's what's traditional (and therefore best) in this household.

Never sampled a restaurant or institutional turkey stuffing that was edible let alone tasty.

Don't screw up my cornbread by putting it in stuffing!
