Ok, before we get into this mucho delicious holiday staple, can we chat about the debate surrounding the dish’s name? I’ve always referred to it as stuffing. Growing up, we had stuffing next to our turkey – a stuffing that was never actually stuffed into the bird’s hoo-ha. All was well in the world until it was brought to my attention that the correct term for the dish is actually dressing, not stuffing, and that I was essentially living a holiday lie. This shook me to my core (not really, but I’m dramatic), and I’ve been upset about it ever since. As the great Shakespeare once wrote, “what’s in a name? A stuffing by any other name would taste as yummy.” (I may have modified the quote a little. Fight me.) So while I understand the logical reasons to use “dressing”, you can’t teach an old(ish) dog new tricks. This holiday dish will always be “stuffing” to me.
