The cooks in our family have started the annual stuffing "discussion" [View all]

The divide is deep and emotional. We end up with at least two stuffings ... not necessarily a bad thing except for the anger and hurt feelings that go into it.

What stuffings are your go-to for Thanksgiving? What are your favorite added ingredients to basic stuffing? One of mine is water chestnuts. They add a nice crunch to an otherwise soft textured dish.

Maybe with some new ideas we can get some agreement between the warring parties. Not likely but it's worth a try.
