Dressing placed in meat, poultry or fish.
A concoction employed to bestow flavor and, at times, mold a culinary creation. Its purpose varies, as it can be nestled within the cavities of certain poultry, sandwiched between two layers, spread upon fillets prior to rolling, or mingled with ground meat for the likes of galantines, in order to enhance the volume. Additionally, it serves as a filling for vegetables, complementing them as a side or even a main course. The foundation comprises elements such as white bread crumbs, diced vegetables, minced meat, pounded fish, or rice. These serve as the bedrock, while an array of vegetables, herbs, spices, and essences contribute their distinctive flavors. Binding the ingredients together are eggs, stock, gravy, sauce, milk, or mayonnaise, with a touch of necessary fat in the form of melted butter, margarine, or cream.
