... popular market leader for this kind of product, of course. Because if you're going to all the palaver of rehydrating dried stuffing, agonizing over getting it to the right consistency, then rolling it into little balls, roasting it in the oven and fussing over it and basting it lovingly for 45 minutes while it cooks, what's the point in using an inferior brand that at the end of all this produces something no one wants to eat?
In the same way that I've always been sceptical of the difference between expensive vs. chea...more

Despite certain celebrity chefs' recent exhortations to the general TV viewing public for them to 'not to bother having nasty pre-made stuffing balls with your Christmas lunch' I quite like stuffing balls made from the nasty pre-mix stuff, myself.

The one thing I never change on is the make of stuffing that I buy during the year to have with our roast chicken dinner and that is Paxo. I did once try a supermarkets own brand and it was disgusting so never again. So now it is getting closer to Christmas I will be purchasing my favourite Paxo, chestnut & cranberry stuffing which is perfect to have with the xmas turkey.This just has the edge over the normal sage and onion, as when you eat this one you can really taste the cranberries and get the texture of the chestnuts, giving is a nutty taste.
