First sentences

edit

The first sentence of the history section seemed unfounded, so I removed it: "Stuffing may well be one of the oldest cooking techniques, since the body cavity of a game animal becomes suitable for stuffing as soon as its internal organs have been removed." The part following the 'since' does little to support the first part, which just seems to be base speculation.


The first sentence of "Foods that are stuffed" contains a grammatical error. I am not sure how it should be read so I can't correct it.

I see what you mean. I've changed it to "In addition to stuffing the body cavity of animals, including mammals, birds, and fish, various joints of larger animals may be stuffed after they have been deboned or a pouch has been cut into the joint."
Does that read better? Nautile 17:44, 9 March 2006 (UTC)Reply


Here is another sentence that I am having trouble grasping: "Stuffing may well be one of the cooking techniques, since the body cavity of a game animal becomes suitable for stuffing as soon as its internal organs have been removed."

Should that read "one of the oldest cooking techniques" or 'fastest' or 'easiest?' It seems it needs some kind of qualifier, otherwise the sentence just refers to some vague 'cooking techniques' that we have no recollection of. Nautile 17:47, 9 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

"some claim" seems pretty darn weasel-y to me.Heatherfire 22:31, 5 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

How international is stuffing?

edit

I had relatives from Germany visit me and the concept of stuffing was totally foreign to them. Is stuffing mainly an American food these days or is it common to find it in other countries as well?--DannyBoy7783 20:43, 26 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Not a US thing at all; still very much an English institution. 89.241.229.236 12:53, 24 December 2006 (UTC)Reply
We also have it in France and Canada. Pro bug catcher 12:55, 24 December 2006 (UTC)Reply
It is very much a US thing. I don't know what the person two people before me was thinking. I've lived in the MidWest and in the South, and it's "stuffing" in the MidWest and "dressing" in the South. And when it's dressing, it's maybe half bread, sometimes includes meat, and NEVER served inside anything, but it's DECIDEDLY similar. Heatherfire 22:30, 5 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
I think you misunderstood anon. He/she's saying it's an English institution in that it's something which the English popularised (which may or may not be true) and the Americans inherited it from the English (which is likely true). I.E. it's not something that Americans began which then spread. He/she's not saying it's something which isn't common in the US. Nil Einne 11:24, 6 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Need a better photo

edit

I'm sorry, but Image:Legumes farcis provencaux p1040286.jpg, currently in the article, is a severely unappetizing photo of stuffing. Can someone find a better one, please? Deli nk (talk) 20:33, 22 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

done. - TheMightyQuill (talk) 21:00, 18 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Stuffing is different from Dressing

Should these be split?--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 12:10, 1 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
