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."
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. Nautile17:47, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
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?--DannyBoy778320:43, 26 November 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. Heatherfire22:30, 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 Einne11:24, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
