This stuffing was terrible! It was dry, bland, and flavorless. I couldn't even finish eating it. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I definitely won't be making this again.

This stuffing was okay, but I've had better. The flavor was good, but the texture was a bit too mushy for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if the millet and bulgur had been cooked a little less.

I was disappointed with this stuffing. It was bland and lacked flavor. I also found the texture to be a bit too dry. I won't be making this again.

This stuffing was a disaster! The millet and bulgur were mushy, and the chestnuts were hard and crunchy. I followed the recipe exactly, but something must have gone wrong. I won't be making this again.

This was okay. I liked the unique flavor of the millet and bulgur, but the chestnuts were a bit too sweet for my taste. Overall, it was an interesting stuffing, but I'm not sure if I'll make it again.

This stuffing is a great way to use up leftover millet and bulgur. It's also a good way to get your kids to eat more vegetables. My kids loved the chestnuts, and they didn't even notice the spinach.
