stuffing/dressing...........dressing/stuffing
Which is it? My family, originally from the South, has always called it dressing. Stove Top calls it stuffing, as do many of my Yankee friends.
Anybody know?
I'll take a stab at it.. It does have a geographical-regional significance, but also has roots in culinary terminology.
If you give any credence to conventional wisdom, Southerners prepare this side dish using corn bread, that they bake separately and call it dressing. Northerners use cubed or crumbs out of white bread, and STUFF it inside the turkey.. Thus stuffing!.. :)
