Description
Family legend has it that this originated with the danish royal family. Apparently my mother's friend knew the cook. It is by far my favorite stuffing and of course we stuff chickens etc. With it and even make it as a vegan casserole by leaving out the poultry all together. I have modified it somewhat over the years but it is still basically the same recipe.
