National Stuffing Day got its start with the advent of the first stuffing when a genius of a cook first took a combination of rich earthy herbs and combined them with onions, garlic, and bread to produce an incredible substance that would bear all the flavors of the turkey as well as those all its own. While stuffing isn’t merely a holiday thing, it is most well known for gracing the table with an air of distinction as large and important as that of the mashed potatoes.
Stuffing comes in multiple varieties with some different seasonings to give each its character. While sage tends to play largely in all of them, there are other ingredients that characterize each type. There isn’t much you can’t add to stuffing that won’t make it equally amazing, and chunks of apple are a common addition to bring a sweetness both to the stuffing itself and the meat it is cooked in or around.
Stuffing is such an amazing substance that it is frequently enjoyed all on its own, and National Stuffing Day encourages you to try a variety of different seasonings to find out which one is your favorite.
