Why is Thyme and Parsley stuffing so hard to find in the shops ?
I have searched high and low but can't find any.
It seems to be all Sage and Onion these days either on it's own or with the likes of Cranberry or Chestnut added in.

It's easy to make.

A cup of fresh breadcrumbs
1 tsp each of dried thyme and parsley (you can use fresh if you like but I think the dried tastes better in stuffing)
1oz suet or melted butter
salt and pepper to taste
1 egg
grated lemon zest (optional)

Mix all together - that's it!

I love this made into balls and cooked on top of a rabbit or lamb casserole for the last hour, or stuffed into a whole chicken or turkey, or just baked in a tray on its own.

Ditto the above. My mother considered ready-made stuffing to be the work of Satan, so I was brought up to make my own. Very little trouble and so much nicer, and easily adjustable to personal taste. The above is pretty much Mum's standard recipe - I sometimes add a little chopped bacon and shallot to the mix, and don't always put an egg in.

I've bought packets of parsley, thyme and lemon in both Asda and Sainsbury's within the past few weeks.
It's essential for my chestnut stuffing for xmas dinner, and I've never had a problem buying it.
