Right? Soggy white bread. And one year they put FRUIT in it.

Stuffing when it's in the bird; dressing when it's cooked in a pan.

And proper broth control prevents regular bread dressing from getting soggy.

I suppose my dressing is about 2/3 cornbread and 1/3 dried white bread. My mom makes her dressing with so much sage it's green! A little too much for me but I do add quite a bit of rubbed sage.

I'm just sayin'... I have never heard it called dressing, even when it's served as a side dish.

If someone ever asked me to bring dressing for dinner, I'd ask "Ranch, Italian, or 1000 Island?" I am not even kidding, that's what I'd think.

Until now, of course.

"Stuffing" sounds like a Yankee word to me.....not that that's a bad thing....i just never heard that word (except for Stove Top commercials) growing up around here.

Not cooked in the bird???

I consulted the experts on this

Same here Baconboy - the cornbread dressing seems dryer than the bread dressing - at least the way my mom made it (now my sister). YUM - and I'll have it at Christmas since I won't be there for Thanksgiving.

Ok, good. I'm not crazy, then. (don't answer that)

Yankee here; we call it stuffing no matter how it's prepared.

Chicken in a can!

The scary thing is that I saw it at the store this morning. It was pricey at $10.18 for a 3+ lb. chicken.

at canned chicken...

o_o Let me spell it out for you....Oklahoma family.

How can you at that delicious gelatinousness? Mmmm, mmmm good!

I kind of want to buy one just to open it and see what it's like!! I bet it smells terrible and make a really bad sound when it comes out.

Now all I can picture is a chicken with can rings!! buahaha

I remember chicken in a can being an ingredient on Chopped once. Looked horrible.

Ewwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!

I think I've seen it on "Chopped" and the chefs all had the face when opening it.

Kind of a "schloop" sound? And then use it for a game of canned chicken football! I bet it's slippery like snot!

Schloop, there it is.

STOP!!!

SO NASTY

Eww eww eww eww eww

All I can think of is the Dr. Seuss book with:

"Schlopp, schlopp, beautiful schlopp.
Beautiful schlopp with a cherry on top."

Cornbread dressing can be dry, but it can be not dry too....depends on the amount of chicken broth...I don't like it dry, but I don't like it soupy either...it must be PERFECT!

Agree. Soupy is just as bad as too dry.
