More to the point, I, not being up to managing sausage this year, used hamburger in my dressing for Thanksgiving. My household keeps looking at me like I have lost my mind. They, apparently, have never heard of sausage in dressing. They are rather shocked and offended. (I mean, I know, I know, I shouldn't have used hamburger, but pork keeps making me sick this year. And I only use chicken if it's going in cornbread dressing, and I wasn't up for boiling an entire chicken anyway.)
Dear
omnomnom members: Help settle this debate? Is it a regional thing? Are we having a lost in translation moment since we're from different parts of the US? Anyone have any clue?
