    I'm from WV originally and depending on which part of my family I'm around I've heard it called both. I usually call it stuffing- pretty much because that's what it says on the box.:laugh:

    Dressing is for salads. I call it stuffing whether it's in the bird or out.

    Same here. Never heard it called dressing...

    I am in Oregon.

    I call it stuffing. Cause you stuff it in the butt of the turkey, where all the good juices fill it with yumminess. We always stuff our bird. I always pick off the stuffing that is coming out of the turkey butt, because it's crunchy goodness. And of course I always burn my hand from doing this, but it's worth it

    That's because they are two different things. They are similar but please don't try to call it dressing if it's stuffing!

    I am English and don't even know if we are talking about the same thing, but stuffing is what you serve with Turkey, chicken, pork etc and is sometimes cooked inside the bird, or meat and sometimes cooked separately . I love it.

    My Husband is Canadian and it is always called stuffing in his house growing up in Toronto and is the same thing that we call stuffing.

    Dressing is what you put on salads here also.
