Stuffing

No Thanksgiving table is complete without stuffing, though its contents can vary widely. In the South, cornbread stuffing is popular and usually referred to as "dressing." Stuffing as a concept—filling the cavity of birds or game—dates to about the first century CE when it was described in a cookbook written by the Roman, Apicius. He used vegetables, nuts, herbs, and chopped liver. Some of these essentials still appear in stuffing today. Early American recipes for stuffing date to 1836. It was likely the advent of quick cooking Stovetop Stuffing in 1972 as to why stuffing is now commonly prepared outside the Thanksgiving turkey. Inside or out, stuffing is a classic side dish that no holiday feast is complete without.
