When I was younger I was told, by my aunt, that stuffing is the inside of a turkey( heart, liver, ect..). Despite this belief every Thanksgiving I would eat it until I would begin thinking about what it was and get a little nauseous, especially if I had a particularly moist portion. It wasn't until this past thanksgiving which was after my 17th birthday that I was told the truth. But if you think about it thats not to bad because my aunt really thought it was the insides of a turkey and shes 38.
