It's stuffing not dressing. Dressing is what I wear.

Stuffing. But I'll call it anything anyone wants if that's what it takes to get some. Yum! Pure carb heaven.

Stuffing, but I must say I like the way dressing sounds!

I'm not from the south but, yup, it's DRESSING.

I think part of this for me is the fact that I see stuffing it inside the raw turkey as absolutely grotesque.

But, really, I've always seen it as dressing. I grew up in CA but the so-called mother thing is from the south.

We did too - and between stuffing and dressing we always said stuffing but we never stuffed a turkey - always made in a pan separately.

ETA: ironically I bought a rotisserie chicken yesterday and had that and a baked potato last night. I picked what was left off the bone. Today I made a pan of "stuffing" and I'll bake that and have it with chicken today. Can't wait and wonder why I don't do that a few times a year. I'll make it again for T'giving!

It was dressing my entire life. I'm from MA and it's possible that "dressing" is a New England thing but everyone says stuffing so in recent years, I've started calling it stuffing. In the same way that I now say soda and not tonic.

That's what it is here in my neck of the southern woods!

I grew up on MA on the south shore & we always called it stuffing. My mother was originally from PA & she called it stuffing too. I never heard anyone call it dressing until I moved away & met people from other areas.

I think you get more flavor & it stays moister when it cooks in the bird. When I have more than what will fit in the turkey I bake it in a pan & it's never as good!

Stuffing but we always cooked it in a pan, not in the turkey.

Whether it's inside of the bird or not, it's stuffing. Never knew what dressing- in the turkey sense- was until I was an adult. Dressing was always a "salad word."

dressing and it is never put inside the bird.

I call it.stuffing, even though I do not stuff it into the turkey. I make homemade, but there is the famous "Stove Top Stuffing Mix".

LOL! I actually have a tee that says that!

I can't wait to start wearing my Christmas top that says 'Merry Christmas Ya'll!'

Growing up my family called it stuffing mostly, but dressing was thrown in some.

Today I call it dressing and every once in a while stuffing.

Call it either one I like it.

I agree with half of your statement. It's better outside of the bird (I like the top a little crispy) but it's still STUFFING!!!! LOL!!
