Paxo
Paxo was invented in 1901 by John Crampton, a butcher from Eccles in Manchester, who wanted to make Sunday lunches more exciting.
It was a slow start, because stuffing is mainly served with poultry, which was a luxury at the time. But as the price of chickens dropped in the 1950s and 60s, Paxo's popularity really took off.
Paxo is now available in a range of seven great-tasting flavours, designed to compliment all kinds of meat. Parsley & Thyme was the favourite for many years, but the growth of chicken roasts in the 60’s changed all that. Nowadays Sage and Onion is the firm favourite.
While Sage & Onion is the perfect compliment for Roast Chicken; Roast Turkey and Roast Pork are the next most frequently eaten meats with stuffing.
The Paxo Celebrations range offers, amongst others, Chestnut & Cranberry to compliment Turkey or for Pork there is Paxo Sage & Onion with a hint of Apple.
