Stuffing and Dressing ARE NOT the same thing!

Just like grits and oatmeal are about the same, right?


Had an Italian uncle by marriage who would go on and on and on about how wonderful polenta was, and the complicated process you had to use to make the perfect serving of polenta.

I was about 14 and asked him what was polenta, and he told me, and I said, "sounds like grits". Thought he was going to have a stroke. For the next 50 years any time I wanted to get a rise out of him, all I had to say was something about polenta just being grits.

FWIW, both Emeril Lagasse and Mario Battali say they are the same.
 
Stuffing? As far as I know it comes out of a cellophane bag inside a box. Dried bread crumbs they couldn't sell as "croutons" or some such rubbish. Got sage in it too. Dressing? Dressing is the perfect food. Butter (lots), onion, celery (maybe), turkey stock, salt & pepper, and crumbled biscuits and corn bread (baked). If you're a Philistine
from SC, you put smoked oysters in it (bleeeck!!)
Add roasted and diced chestnuts. Much more better.

Oyster dressing is da bomb. But always used fresh oysters.
 
Erick Erickson!!! You muppet!

Not the same damned thing at all!
I can't take Erickson anymore. Haven't listened to his show since election week. He claimed he voted for Loeffler because Kemp asked him to even though he liked Collins better. But wait it gets better. He voted for David Davis a mother****ing suck ass white Democrat sheriff in Bibb Co because " He's done a good job." What? For real... A good job at what, letting the inmates run the asylum ?
But anyway... I agree dressing is where it's at . Stuffing is some nasty **** that sucks. Many years ago we went to Thanksgiving dinner at my uncle's house in Marietta. He married a Pennsylvania Yankee. So she shoved all that stuffing up the turkeys ass before putting it in the oven. Well...it was real hard to be nice about that and still try to avoid eating that nasty ****.
 
I always thought stuffing and dressing were the same except “stuffing” was cooked in the bird and “dressing” was cooked in a dish. In my mind, I had servings of both stuffing and dressing today—some from inside the bird and some from a Pyrex dish.
