"A traditional oyster stuffing is made with bread, a mix of aromatics and spices, and diced oysters."
"My mom makes this every year and it's just for me, because I'm the only one that likes it,"
"I love it and nobody else does, which I don't understand. It's great."
"It caught on in America because turkey was expensive, but oysters were incredibly cheap, so you could really add a lot of extra protein to the meal by using oysters in the stuffing."
More than half of Americans expect turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, bread, and pie at Thanksgiving. Oyster stuffing consists of bread, aromatics, spices, and diced oysters. Oyster stuffing remains a lesser-known regional favorite in some families and is eaten annually by some individuals who grew up near coastal seafood traditions. Oyster stuffing originated in England and became popular in America because turkey was expensive while oysters were inexpensive and plentiful. Oysters were once abundant and widely sold, making them a cheap way to add protein to holiday meals.
