Am I missing out on something by not
eating stuffing?
A couple of years ago on our “Tuesday
Topic” we asked listeners about the food they most enjoy on
Thanksgiving. And I have to admit I was a little surprised when the
winner was stuffing. Not turkey, not pumpkin pie, my two favorites,
but stuffing.
Really?
I think this proves a couple of things,
one being that it's further evidence I'm not like other human beings.
I've never liked stuffing, and I don't know that I ever will. I
don't know why; I like many of the ingredients that go into stuffing.
But I guess I've just never liked the overall end result, per se, of
stuffing. I don't know if it's the flavor, the texture, or the fact
that it's usually shoved up a turkey's butt to cook. For whatever
reason, I personally don't like stuffing.
But I know I'm in the minority here. I
know that every other single person with whom I traditionally share
my Thanksgiving dinner adores the dish. And they're probably happy I
don't like it. After all, it just means more for them. From the
sounds of it, I'm guessing this would also get replayed in any other
households where there are a bunch of stuffing lovers and one
naysayer. The people who love the dish—the vast, vast majority of
people—get a little more because there's one person who, for
whatever rational or (ahem) irrational reason doesn't like it.
You know...like at any Thanksgiving
dinner where I'm a guest. Unless, of course, someone figured out a
way to make it with chocolate. Then, just maybe, I might consider
it.
Maybe.

On that note, I hope that you and
everyone with whom you might celebrate has a great day tomorrow.
There won't be another one of these until Monday, although I will be
on the air Friday should you find yourself so insanely bored that you
don't have anything else to do.
Happy Thanksgiving!
