I used to put it in the bird. Now I don’t. Always, then and now, call it stuffing. Moist, buttery, celery, onions, sage...😋

I'm from New England, but have lived in CA many years. In both places, it's called stuffing.  I stopped cooking it in the turkey many years ago.  

 

I think most cookbooks and cooking magazines call it stuffing.

dressing only and it is NEVER stuffed into the bird. (just south of the mason dixon line Smiley Wink)


@sunshine45   LOL!!  Me too!  I can't eat the one stuffed into the turkey.  It's simply too greasy and soupy for me.

This is worse than the Dinner vs Supper arguement. or the pop vs soda

 

 

If its cooked inside the bird it is stuffing cooked in a pan it is dressing from what i understand. I am frm PA  and we always called it stuffing but we always cooked it inside the bird. So much more flavor that way.

Yankee here.  We had stuffing stuffed in the Turkey growing up.  When I make Turkey now, the stuffing is on the side.

Live down South, but raised up North, so it's stuffing to me!

Stuffing if it's inside the turkey, and dressing if it's backed in a casserole dish. We always had both since my Grandmother always made extra. The dressing was browned.

Re: 🤔 Stuffing or Dressing?

To me the most frustrating war on wards is  pop vs soda vs fountain drinks

 

 

 

In Pittsburgh  PA  it was pop  .... when I moved to Kansas City  it was called fountain drinks or soda.  To me a fountain drink is beer on tap so I was really confised to see  fountain drinks on signs in front of gas stations. I had no idea it was pop ( aka soda) . What was a mind blower  was at that time  gas stations  were only that  not a store  back home (I moved in the 80s)  and omg out here  they  were like mini marts that sold cases of beer. In PA  we had to go to a "State Store"  to buy alcholic breverages or we would buy packs of beer directly from a bar. It was unherd of to be able to just walk into a gas station or grocery store to buy beer.  I thought I moved into a magical foreign country LOL
