For me it's the canned cranberries. Everyone always wants the fresh stuff. Fuck that. Gimme that highly processed flavored corn syrup in a log, please.

[-] KnightontheSun@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Well, I’ll have to disagree. I’ll only eat the fresh stuff. That gelatinous log is what made me think I hated the stuff. The first year I had fresh was a game changer. That’s all we do now. But to each their own and I hope you have as much gelatinous log as you want.

It's ok. My whole family is wrong like you. I won't hold it against you. :)

Have a good thanksgiving!

[-] teft@startrek.website 6 points 1 year ago

You too. Happy Turkey Day!

[-] Vespair@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

I'm with ya. Cranberry sauce is S-tier, and I don't discriminate between fresh or canned.

Whatever form cranberry sauce comes in, please put it in my mouth

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 points 1 year ago

I don't even know how that jello is a sauce. It just stays solid even when warmed up. It's good, but, like... On its own. I usually put it on my dessert plate, not the dinner one.

[-] teft@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago

I like it on a sandwich the most. Piece of turkey, piece of cran log, some stuffing, some gravy, and a bit of sweet potatoes. Mmmmmmm.

What the fuck is stovetop dressing?

[-] jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 year ago
[-] Vespair@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

I think they're objecting to you calling it "dressing" instead of stuffing, even though it's usually recommended to cook it outside the bird and thus "dressing" is actually the more correct term making you right.

[-] Zoboomafoo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

The recommendation to cook dressing instead of stuffing for food safety reasons is only for the wackos that add sausage

I haven't consumed every piece of media on the planet so I can't speak to the reference you're making, but no, no it is not.

It is recommended to not stuff the bird because a turkey is large enough that stuffing will significantly increase cooking time and without care it is very easy to undercook the now solid interior, which can then soak bacteria-ladden juices into the stuffing which has not reached sufficient temperatures to kill said offending bacteria.

Stuff your small birds like chickens; dress your big birds like turkey.

The best recommendation of all in my book is to just use a thermometer. Never cook meat by time, always do it by temperature, it's the only way to know what is actually happening in there.

It's probably still a good idea to not stuff the things, but if you do it by temp you at least wont poison yourself with raw bird juices.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Other than the safety of undercooking it due to increased cook times: It dries out the turkey which is already a rather dry bird. If you actually want edible breast meat, don't stuff the bird.

Dressing is the regional term in many parts of Canada. Sounds like the same may exist in parts of the United States.

[-] Vespair@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

Yes and in some parts of the US they call all sodas "coke," but that doesn't mean 7-Up is a coke, it just means that region is wrong.

[-] KnightontheSun@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago
[-] Vespair@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Soda. I'm cool with "soda pop" for a little personality and flair, but if you're calling soda either just "pop" or god-forbid "coke" then I assume you're the kind of person who watches NCIS

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 1 year ago

Soda Pop. Together.

I'm from GA. Everything is Coke here.

I am suffering from a mystery illness where I can't eat solid foods, so please everyone have an extra good Thanksgiving for me so I can enjoy it through you!

[-] KnightontheSun@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I do hope you get better! I will do my part for you whilst basking in the glow of the afternoon game of sport.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago
[-] UtMan1988@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I had to get out of there! I faked an attack of scurvy.

Scurvy... Works every time.

[-] KnightontheSun@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Arrr! See you at Christmas and bring a lemon on yer voyage next time!

[-] HubertManne@kbin.social 4 points 11 months ago

jeez is kraft doing some sort of gorilla marketing this year as this is like the third thing ive seen pushing this crappy product.

[-] jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 11 months ago

Nah, it is mostly just me being weird.

[-] 4am@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Do you drizzle the stovetop dressing on your stovetop stuffing?

[-] Vespair@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Dressing is stuffing cooked on its own as a side; stuffing is dressing stuffed into a carcass.

They just mean Stovetop Stuffing but cooked as dressing, I'm sure.

[-] Sharpiemarker@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

Yes I'll have some peeled, uncooked potatoes and some lettuce with cherries on top.

[-] Thisfox@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Why would I want to cook dressing? It doesn't go hot onto salad.

[-] averyfalken@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 11 months ago

They are meaning stuffing which is often called dressing when not stuffed into the bird

[-] Vespair@lemm.ee -1 points 1 year ago

A- stuffing isn't that great too begin with.

B- shitty packaged mass production stuffing is definitely the bottom tier of stuffing.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago
[-] Vespair@lemm.ee -1 points 1 year ago

It tastes like stale onion and sadness.

Y'all need to up your kitchen game; there's an entire culinary world to explore beyond the 6 boxed meals your moms made halfassedly in the 90s.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's literally just seasoning and dried bread you mix with hot butter and water. If it tastes bad: How are you fucking up when cooking it?

[-] Vespair@lemm.ee -2 points 1 year ago

I'm not. Stovetop tastes like shit, no matter who makes it. Cheap mass-produced dried bread with the cheapest possible quality spices & onions.

If you can't comprehend how a homemade stuffing with quality ingredients is vastly better than a shitty box from Kraft foods, then I have to assume you think McDonald's is gourmet haute cuisine.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

"Quality stale bread."

🤣

Every boxed or homemade stuffing I've ever made tasted pretty much the same. It's literally always garbage. Delicious garbage.

[-] Vespair@lemm.ee -4 points 1 year ago

It's okay that you don't have standards. Enjoy your Stovetop 👍

[-] JWBananas@startrek.website 4 points 11 months ago

Look.

I've dined at Michelin Star restaurants. And I appreciate the finer things in life.

But if someone invites me to McDonald's, I'm still going.
