Although some people believe that Thanksgiving dinner wouldn’t be complete without turkey, genuine aficionados of sides know that stuffing is the undisputed holiday mainstay.

People enjoy the various potato side dishes and beautifully glazed and roasted vegetables. But there is something inherently Thanksgiving-specific about the craggy, crunchy, herbaceous, nutty, and occasionally sweet and savory blend of toasted bread.

History of Stuffing Recipe

When stuffings were originally used first is unknown.

The Roman cookbook Apicius De Re Coquinaria, which includes recipes for stuffed chicken, dormice, hare, and pork, is the first piece of written documentation.

The majority of the mentioned stuffings are made of vegetables, nuts, herbs, and spices, along with the cereal spelt, and frequently include chopped liver, brains, and other organ meat.

Farce (about 1390), stuffing (1538), forcemeat (1688), and, more recently in the United States, dressing are some of the names used for stuffing (1850).
