Bell's vs Penzey's poultry seasoning

Due to some bizarre location warp, I cannot get Bell's (B-E-L-L-'S)
Poultry Seasoning (P-O-U-L-T-R-Y S-E-A-S-O-N-I-N-G), here (GASP!
(G-A-S-P)). I know. It's enough to make one move. Anyway, I'm
considering buying some Penzeys (P-E-N-Z-E-Y-S) poultry seasoning
(FOR USE IN POULTRY STUFFING (S-T-U-F-F-I-N-G)). Is Penzeys pretty
good?

I've never been disappointed in a Penzey's product.

I wasn't aware there were such strict rules on posting to rfc.
Perhaps the "ladies" of rfc will edit the rfc faq so as to provide
explicit instruction on precisely how to word a post so as not to
invite such vicious retribution.

Penzeys - according to their website:
sage, white pepper, red and green bell peppers, lemon peel, savory,
rosemary, dill, allspice, thyme, marjoram and ginger.


Bells - according to their website:
rosemary, oregano, sage, ginger, and marjoram

Personally, if I couldn't get Bell's, I'd try to make it from scratch.

I am sure the Penzey's is fine, but it does look a little busy. Dill
and allspice?

JMHO.

Good point, Tracy. P's appears to lack oregano, too. OTOH, maybe the
allspice is a welcome bonus. I have to order some 5-spice, so will
probably give it a shot, my not having a good selection of whole
herb/spices to grind my own, at this time. Thnx 4 the feedback.

Oh, come on. Do you expect the Penzy mafia to say otherwise?

Never having been a particular fan of Bell's Poultry Seasoning, I've liked
both Penzey's and Spice Islands poultry seasoning. When I make dressing, I
use poultry seasoning along with additional sage and other spices/herbs.

I've never used a mix of poultry seasoning for poultry. The only
time I have ever used it was when someone gave us theirs when they moved
and I think I put it in soup. It was turkey soup, though.

I use Simon and Garfunkel's mix for stuffing and just mix it up
myself, rather than have a separate bottle for it: Parsley, sage,
rosemary and thyme. I mix plain bread with corn bread, use lots of
butter, celery and onion with a little garlic, salt and pepper to taste
a little bit of turkey stock. I use lemon when roasting the bird, but
not in the stuffing. That's just how I roll.

Why not just make your own from a blend of dried herbs and spices? I do
love Penzeys (never heard of Bells so it must be a regional thing) but I
still make my own poultry seasoning with herbs and spices. It's not that
difficult.

My kids can get it in New Jersey and they either bring some when they
cisit or send care packages.

Bell's is what my mom always used, and what I use. It comes in a shaker
cardboard box rather than a plastic or metal tin.

The 'Penzey mafia'? What are you talking about?

Make your own poultry seasoning... dried crumbled sage, thyme, marjoram (or
basil).
