22. Remove foil, bake for another 30 minutes and serve alongside roast turkey.
23. NOTES : Need to taste before adding the salt - I'm not sure if I used salted butter, or possibly if it calls for too much salt.
24. Can use much more sage.
25. "We like to cook this stuffing, in particular, outside of the bird, in a seperate pan; the chunks of bread achieve a crunchy, chewy texture which way.
26. In fact the dish seems more like a delicious bread pudding than a stuffing.
27. The amount of butter in the recipie may raise an eyebrow or possibly two, but at holiday time, who's counting.
28. Amazingly, the dish ends up tasting intensely buttery without being greasy.
29. If you love the taste of butter, this highly unusual stuffing is for you."
