Paxo

Paxo

Paxo is a well-known British brand of stuffing mix, typically used for roasting chicken and other poultry. It was first created in 1901 by John Crampton, a butcher from Eccles in Manchester, who wanted to provide a product that would make his customers' Sunday roasts tastier.

History

John Crampton was a butcher who owned a shop in Eccles, Manchester. He noticed that his customers often asked for a mixture of herbs and spices to add to their roasts. Seeing a business opportunity, he created Paxo stuffing, which quickly became popular. The name "Paxo" is derived from the Latin word for peace, reflecting Crampton's hope that his product would bring peace to family meals.

Products

Paxo offers a range of stuffing mixes, including Sage and Onion, Garlic and Thyme, and Apple and Cranberry. The mixes are made from breadcrumbs, herbs, and spices, and are designed to be mixed with water and baked in the oven. In addition to stuffing mixes, Paxo also produces a range of stock cubes and gravy granules.

Usage

Paxo stuffing is typically used as a side dish for roast dinners. It can be baked in a tray to create a crispy topping, or it can be used to stuff poultry or vegetables. The stuffing mix can also be used as a base for other dishes, such as meatballs or burgers.

Popularity

Paxo is a staple in many British households, particularly during the holiday season. It is often associated with traditional British cuisine and is a common sight on dinner tables during Christmas and Easter.
