Thanksgiving Showdown: Dressing Vs. Stuffing In Idaho's Dinner Debate

We already know that every Idaho Thanksgiving meal needs to to have turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, cranberry sauce, pies, and eggnog. Well, maybe not eggnog - that's debatable. But whether eggnog is good isn't the thing we need to figure out in Idaho.

You can even forget about political debates, because this may be the most important argument you'll have this Thanksgiving: Do you call it Dressing or Stuffing?

Is it Stuffing or Dressing in Idaho and What is the Difference

I don't like stuffing/dressing, so I'm not a pro on this subject but when we talk about what we need to prepare for Thanksgiving we have NEVER said dressing. We always call it stuffing in my house. But based on the definition of each side dish it looks like I have been wrong my entire life.

Technically there is a difference since Dressing is cooked out of the bird and Stuffing is cooked in the bird. But, do we care? Nope. We call it what we want. So what do you want to call it? Settle this now before things get awkward at the table when you ask for dressing and you get a bottle of Ranch.
