Great Question

Man, I loves me some Stove Top - if my brother was the Puddin' Boy growing up, I was the Stove Top Boy, as it was my job every Sunday to make the stuffing. I liked it slightly dry, and with more butter than water. XMASTIME
Why the fuck do we only eat stuffing once or twice a year?
This is plain wrong, because bread stuffing is one of the most forgiving, fragrant and inspiring dishes imaginable. When made from scratch and seasoned right, it is rich, moist and savory, shot through with different textures and flavors that give cooks plenty of room to play. That basic amalgamation of starch, fat and aromatics is indisputably delicious. 
It wasn't my sister-in-law Pam's Hall of Fame sausage stuffing, but every Sunday dinner we had when I was a kid included Stove Top stuffing, and it was great.

And yes, I still have dreams of a Stove Top-only restaurant, fuck you very much.

You don't need an entire Hall to house the only stuffing that counts - Stove Top, the immutable champion.
