Foodland's "sage Stuffing" Bolloxed

[retiree]

I'm a long-time fan of the frozen stuffing Foodland sells this time of year. However, this year it has changed from the traditional bread-crumb (kind'a) based recipe to some kind of weird sloshy mess. The batch I bought at the Soi 5 store the other day were all packed 8-12-07.

Now, I have long suspected that Foodland waters some frozen goods before sale (i.e. to increase the weight) -- certainly their salmon drips an incredible amount of water. But before jumping to any conclusions, I'm curious -- does this year's batch match anybody's notion of what stuffing is supposed to be?

Baffled,

Buy some 'Paxo' from Friendship, and make it yourself. Dead easy, you can't go wrong.

Maybe they sell it in Foodland?

Mystery solved. I spoke to the (German?) chef at their supplier -- apparently he changed the recipe without changing the label: they are now selling frozen RAW sage stuffing! It seems that I was not the only customer who had been taken aback by this, either.

The manager at Foodland was very nice about refunding my money, btw.
