Paxo Sage and Onion Stuffing

Whilst doing my food shopping a couple of weeks ago I was buying all the items I needed to cook a good Sunday roast, I got all my vegetables, gravy powder and a chicken when suddenly my other half announced that he wanted some stuffing to go with the meal. It is a while since I last used a stuffing mix but I remember buying shops own brand and being quite disappointed so I went and browsed the shelves and found a packet of Paxo stuffing. If you have read any of my previous reviews then you will have realised that I am not in any way a brand snob (!) I buy Value products and shops own brands but I have heard my Mum on various occasions say how good the ...  Read the complete review

Tonight I was in need of some real comfort food so when I spotted this 85g packet for 65p in my local Co-Op I looked at Tom and we both said yes and threw it straight in to the basket. The stuffing comes in a clear cellophane bag which is inside a blue Paxo cardboard box with a picture of stuffing on the front and it is just deliciously tempting.

Now my favorite ways are to put sufficient water previously boiled in a bowl with the mixture to make a firm but pliable dough like substance and then when hand hot you can stuff the ...  Read the complete review

I think stuffing is a bit like marmite - you either love it or hate it - I love stuffing especially Paxo's - it's the best I've tasted! I have tried making stuffing from scratch but it's such a time-consuming exercise so I've relied on packets for quite a number of years. Having tried other sorts - eg own brands & Whitworths I still keep going back to Paxo as I grew up with it from being a child. I think (but forgive me if I'm wrong) that stuffing of this flavour is a uniquely British tradition? Paxo stuffing comes in 2 sizes of box - 85g - which is for approx 4-5 people (not in our house!) 170g - which serves 8 - ...  Read the complete review
