Dressing vs Stuffing -- the debate rages on

So once again it is holiday time and the ages old debate of "dressing vs stuffing" arises again.
Around here it is dressing, specifically cornbread dressing. There are no chestnuts, apples, cranberries or mushrooms in it. It is basically the same all across the south with slight variations; cornbread (day old), bread crumbs, celery, onion (we use green onion), butter and stock. We add chicken meat to ours sometimes. It bakes up nice and golden brown on the top and it is YUMMMEEEE! When head down to South Louisiana you get the addition of oysters, andouille sausage, etc. in the dressing.

I am not much of a stuffing fan, I guess it is what you grew up with. I hear horror stories about the stuffing not cooking well inside the turkey and being a mushy mess or the turkey being overdone to cook the stuffing.

Whatever you call it - enjoy your day! Give me dressing anytime. My secret pleasure? A helping of cold dressing the next day with some whole berry cranberry sauce on it....delish!!
