My MIL in Omaha, Nebraska made fabulous oyster stuffing. She had never
lived anywhere but Nebraska. A prized antique in WV was oyster pails, in
which the oysters were shipped and sold at Christmas in the landlocked
state. We who love them get them any old how.

You can make stuffing, some you put in the bird, some you bake alongside in
a casserole dish. At that point stuffing becomes pan dressing. Got it now?

I have to wonder who bothers to write to Miss Manners, or Ann Landers, or
Dear Abby for advice about anything. You do realize these are people with
about as many useful answers to questions as you'll find here on RFC, right?
Do whatever the heck you want. If the boyfriend wants to eat or not eat the
stuffing, that's his choice. It's really a no brainer.

I don't get insulted if someone doesn't want to eat what I've cooked. I
don't get insulted if someone brings a dish I didn't ask for. I figure, let
*them* eat it if I don't want it. What's the big deal? I'm not going to
hunt for tofurkey if someone is a vegetarian. If they want tofurkey or a
spam ham, so be it. Let them bring it to the party. This is all too silly.

LOL! I knew your game, Blake! I've got some Bombay gin, some Southern
Comfort 100 proof stuff, some Bacardi white rum. A couple other things.
Some Croatian cognac. Some TaB.

years ago, there was a question in her column that went something like
this:

'last night someone at a party said to me of another man 'have you two
met?' actually, we had met the night before in an anonymous sex situation.
what should i have said?'

her reply: 'you should say 'i believe we might have, but we've never been
properly introduced.'

she's unflappable. (i can't dig it up online, though. )

Nope. Since when do you make the rules?

But, now that I think about it, it STILL doesn't make sense. If it's
not okay to bring extra stuffing, how is it OK to bring a whole extra
turkey?? There may not even be room in the refrigerator for all the
leftovers, after all. (Not to mention that no one person can eat an
entire turkey at one meal!)

Otherwise, I'd think one could always say "I love stuffing, especially
later in the meal, and I don't want to look like a pig by eating more
than my share - mind if I bring an extra dish of it?"

Just to reiterate, in my experience, people want to eat as much
stuffing as they do turkey, and there is almost never a big enough
cavity in a turkey for that much stuffing. So, again, I don't get MM's
answer.

However, if the host were to say "oh, don't worry, I always cook extra
stuffing," THEN I would agree it would be wrong to bring "your"
stuffing.
