Are you dressed or stuffed?

[AKLRULZ]

We call it stuffing even though we cook it outside of the turkey.

 

[Kahana-ri]

We stuff outside the turkey as well.

 

[NMAmy]

We call it stuffing even though we cook it outside of the turkey.

We call it dressing whether it's inside or outside the turkey.

 

[Grumpy's Wife]

We call it Dressing. Never did cook it in the turkey.

 

[cinmell]

[Luv'sTink]

We call it stuffing and cook it inside the turkey.

 

[dhcoffey]

Dressing and never inside the turkey.

 

[SC Minnie]

dressing and never inside the bird

My mom's stuffing is nothing like my IL's. I don't care for theirs at all.

 

[CarolG]

We call it dressing, and it's never in the turkey.

"Stuffed" is what we all are after trying to sample everything on the table, including three kinds of pie!

We are strange, we have both stuffing and dressing, both a baked outside the turkey.

The difference between the two are:

stuffing is made with the toasted cubed bread, onion, celery, seasonings and what ever else my Aunt puts in it and baked in a casserole dish.

dressing's mainly made with dried bread (the crust is trimmed), chicken stock, butter, salt, and pepper. There are 3 styles we make - the plain (just the above items), heavly peppered (comes out almost black when baked) and oyster/pepper (this one doesn't touch my plate).

My dad's family always did the dressing dish. Once he and his siblings married and the spouses started sharing Thanksgiving dinner, the spouses were use to the traditional stuffing, so a small batch of that was made for them to enjoy. Most of the family has converted over to just the dressing, but we still have a couple who still like the other as well.

Well it's clearly written on the box as "Stove Top" and "Stuffing".

 

[DeterminedOne]

We refer to it as dressing, not only because it's outside the turkey, but also because it tastes nothing like stuffing. Our dressing is a cornbread base mixed with stock, celery, onions and cream of mushroom soup.

exactly


Hmm, maybe that's because of what it does to us when we eat it.

Stuffing here ! We love it so much so I make alot, half in the turkey, half out. Where's the smilie for rubbing my tummy?!

 

[helenabear]

I use both interchangably... so I couldn't vote

 

[Melisa1]

We call it dressing - never had it inside the turkey.....

 

[FergieTCat]

I thought you meant me, personally, and I was going to answer "stuffed"!

And I haven't even gained my "holiday weight" yet!

 

[dizneenut]

Stuffing!
