Which term is correct?

When you stuff a bra, it goes on the inside. If you wear a dress, it goes on the outside.

So if it goes IN something, it's stuffing. If it goes ON something, it's dressing.

Anyone else who says otherwise is WRONG.

Please. Stuffing. Dressing is what you do for prom.

Stuffing.

I know, I know... It's a regional thing, I'm sure.

But they probably call it dressing in those wacky kinds of places like where the phrase "what kind of coke do you want?" isn't redundant...

I live in the cranberry capital of the world, so I should know something about something.

And if said stuffing isn't sausage/chestnut based, OR have oysters in it, you're also doing it wrong.

Who the hell eats that E36 M3 anyway. I'm holding out for bacon wrapped chicken livers and deviled eggs. The rest is just useless filler.

I want to come party with you. I'm drooling at my desk. Also because i'm hungry and they shut the cafeteria down early so they could go home early for the holiday.

WELL WHAT THE berkeley ABOUT ME?>!?!?

This year, neither. Avoiding breads at all cost.

But, I like pie. Homemade clean eating pumpkin pie.

in my opinion, unless it spends time cooking in the bird, it isn't stuffing.

That said, region determines if you call it stuffing or dressing.

If you want to be really pedantic, it is farces.

tr.v. farced, farc·ing, farc·es 1. To pad (a speech, for example) with jokes or witticisms. 2. To stuff, as for roasting.

I don't know but I was involved in a turkey fisting incident earlier and it wasn't nearly as erotic as it sounds.

Stuffing is the best part of Thanksgiving. I would be perfectly content to eat several pounds of that and nothing else.

Stuffing. Because I'm going to stuff myself silly with it, and try not to get none on my dress.

I am oddly confused yet thoroughly intrigued.

Also, it's stuffing if it cooks in the bird. If it's not in the bird for cooking then it's just bread crumbs.

... You've never heard of Oyster Stuffing?!?!?!

Chestnut Sausage Stuffing??!?!

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/tyler-florence/roasted-chestnut-sausage-dressing-recipe/index.html

I can't find my recipe for the chestnut/sausage right now... i'm pretty sure mine is WAY more sausage and chestnuts, and not so much bread.

I resemble that remark, but agree it's only stuffing if it's spent time stuff in something, preferably a turkey you weirdos. Moms cornbread dressing is a must.

They're all brown on the inside.

I'm not terribly consistent on what to call it, but mine never goes into the bird. These days, I usually make a fancy cornbread instead.

If it goes in the bird, it's stuffin(g). If you cook it on the side, it's dressin(g).

I seem to remember that my prom night included both.
