What is National Stuffing Day?
With Thanksgiving right around the corner, November 21st is the perfect day for National Stuffing Day on National Stuffing Day. Since we are already planning on Thanksgiving dinner, we are already thinking about the delectable turkey stuffing that is a staple part of Thanksgiving dinner..
Some cooks prefer to stuff the bird with crusts of bread, vegetables, herbs, and spices. Some people prefer to make a similar dish alongside the turkey by using the drippings to moisten the dish. Both ways, each dish is a personal preference or family tradition. The first is a stuffing, while the latter is described as a dressing.
The traditional turkey stuffing is made of bread cubes or crumbs mixed with onions, celery, salt, and pepper. Further spices and herbs such as summer savory, sage, or poultry seasoning add to the variety and taste. Other recipes call for sausage, hamburger, tofu, oysters, egg, rice, apple, raisins, or other dried fruit.
Apicius "De Coquinaria," the Roman cookbook, first known documented stuffing recipes, appeared in Apicius "De Coquinaria." The bulk of the stuffing recipes in this cookbook included vegetables, herbs and spices, nuts, and spelt (an old cereal). Chop liver and other organ meat was also included in some dishes.
Various cuts of meat are often stuffed once deboned and making a pouch or cutting a slit in them, in addition to stuffing the body cavity of poultry and fish. pork chops, meatloaf, meatballs, chicken breast, lamb chops, and beef tenderloin are just a few examples of other meats that are commonly packed.
