    Cornbread DRESSING - if it's made with cornbread, it is dressing -- not stuffing!

    I thought the difference between dressing and stuffing was whether it was cooked in a separate baking dish vs "stuffed" inside the turkey?

    Me too. I've "stuffed" many a batch of cornbread stuffing, and baked it separately too.
    Me three

    Not from my part of the country lol - I'm in the south and it's cornbread dressing no matter where you put it lol.

    Well apparently this is why...
    Generally southern states in America call a mixture "dressing" while northern states usually call it "stuffing." The theory is that southern states find the word "stuffing" not genteel enough for their liking.

    LOL we always called it dressing but we also cook it in a baking dish, not inside the bird.


    Well there ya go! Our lesson for the day thanks :wink:

    separate dish

    dressing is what it says on the box but you ignore. it's also what goes on a salad.

    What are your must have Thanksgiving Dinner dishes?

    Mix 7-8 parts Riesling (or your favorite dry white wine) with 1 part Creme de Cassis (sweet cordial made from black currants).

    I mix up batches of it. It's a very subtle-tasting but surprisingly potent drink, and has become my go-to thanksgiving drink.

    ^^Sounds wonderful! I will give this a whirl. Riesling is my favorite wine and one we have every Thanksgiving. Thanks for the tip!
