To think that this is not stuffing

[Snoff]

I picked up a load of Christmassy bits from the reduced section at Co-Op, to join the selection of indulgent leftovers destined for tonight's dinner. Among them was a ready-to-bake foil tray of 'Pork, Cranberry and Chestnut stuffing' from the fancy range (this thing). I thought it looked a bit un-stuffingy when I put it in the oven, but was not prepared for it to come out looking like I'd just baked a block of mince whole. It hissed and oozed fat when cut. I then belatedly read the ingredients and learned it's 65% pork (!) while breadcrumbs do not feature on the ingredients list at all. I thought perhaps it was really meant to be actually used to stuff a turkey, but there are no instructions for doing that - you're supposed to just bake it and eat it. Which no one did in this house because it tasted like a shit sausage.

AIBU?
YABU: this concoction that is 65% pork and 0% breadcrumb that that is not meant to be stuffed into anything is stuffing
YANBU: this is not stuffing, it is just a huge, weird, slab-shaped sausage

...also feel free to post about any festive supermarket food you bought that was weird/nasty/not what you expected.

If you believe breadcrumbs to be the defining feature of stuffing, why in earth were you picking up anything gluten free?

Given that ‘pork’ comes first on the list of ingredients, I’d have assumed that it’s mostly pork.

My own homemade stuffing is largely sausage meat, albeit squished out of ‘best’ sausages - I like to know the origin.

The M&S sausage meat stuffing was delicious, we had it as a slab. I did wonder if I might see any reduced for the freezer

I bought something similar for Christmas Day meal, I cooked the whole pack but only used half for Christmas dinner. The other half I cut into portions and put in the freezer to use another day.

I really like sausage meat stuffing, I always buy one for Christmas.
