Growing up, we had "inside dressing" and "outside dressing" (my grandmother being from a region where it's called "dressing" no matter whether it's shoved up the turkey's butt or cooked in a casserole dish). Some family members preferred one type over the other. The reason(s) it's called "dressing" can easily be found on the WWW. Cindy Hamilton |

A bird that is stuffed is dressed. The terms are inter changeable and it is more of a regional thing than an official definition. My mother used to make a lot of stuffing. She stuffed/dressed the bird with the stuffing/dressing and the rest of it went into a pan and was cooked alongside the stuffed/dressed bird. When it came time to eat the stuff in the pan was called stuffing too. The big difference IMO is that the stuff that had been cooked in the dressed turkey tasted better than the stuff in the pan. |

Cornish hens are not traditional nor do we like them. I look for the smallest turkey in the store and can usually get a ten pounder but this year a 13.2 pound one was the smallest I found. Anyway it cost 39¢/lb with a $25 purchase, very easy to achieve, so our turkey cost $5+some pennies... if we tire of it and don't eat it all no biggie, the critters can have at it... I refuse to make some cheap watery tea from the frame... same as I don't make soup from chicken frames, I use use whole chicken(s) to make chicken soup... rich golden jewish pennecillin. Once poultry has been roasted it makes watery POW broth, all the flavor is in the bottom of the pan but mostly fat. This year I skimmed off the fat and did use the fond to make gravy, scraped the fond into two cans of turkey gravey. The giblets immediately went out to feed the crows. I did roast the neck with the turkey but haven't attacked it yet, and that may become critter food. There really isn't a tremendous amount of meat on a 13lb turkey, would barely feed six hungry adults. We forgot the brussel sprouts, could only get frozen Green Giant, the two small packs are still in the freezer. We ate turkey, sweet potatoes, and kasha varnishkas, no cranberry sauce. We did eat some of two small bakery pies, punkin and apple. So far we ate about 3/4 of one sweet potato. I bought three, I picked the largest out of the batch, about 2 pounds each. If we don't finish them the deer will. The sweet potatoes were started first because they were so large, otherwise they'd not be done at the 325º at 4 hours the turkey needed. Those sweet potatoes were started an hour before the turkey went in the oven and at 375º, lowered the temperature for the turkey. The asparaguys only needed 12 minutes in the microwave with an ounce of water and 2 Tbs of butter. I cooked the kasha varnishkas the day prior. Everything was perfectly cooked. There was no bread or rolls... we may do open faced turkey w/gravy sammiches for dinner tonight... got Heidelberg French peasant bread... Heidelberg has become our favorite bread, as good if not better than homemade. https://heidelbergbread.com/ |

In the US dressing is synonymous with stuffing... and what it can contain is limitless but only limited to available ingredients... in some parts of the US baked oyster dressing/stuffing is common, and delicious. Shellfish was likely a major dish at the first Thanksgiving, and highly unlikely that there was any corn... not for several more years. https://www.allrecipes.com/recipes/1...-and-dressing/ |

Families don't live close to each other anymore and the farm hands don't generally eat at the family table. I agree that making all the side dishes is too much. When I was young we went to my paternal grandfathers house for T-Day. There were 5 aunts and 1 uncle from grandpa and each had a couple of children and all showed up for holiday meals. Each family brought a side dish or two. Adults were at the huge claw-footed table and kids were at two card tables. If you needed to go to the bathroom you did it before dinner or else hold it, there was no way out. Photos were taken before we ate so food some times was cooling. The side dishes were to assure there was enough to eat for everyone. Janet US |

Those large families also had lots of helping hands Christmas and Thanksgiving dinners were always at my parents or my grandparents. They were bountiful feasts but there were not that many side dishes. We generally had turkey with stuffing and gravy, mashed potatoes, three vegetables and salad. The vegetables weren't much work. > When I was young we went to my paternal grandfathers house for T-Day. > There were 5 aunts and 1 uncle from grandpa and each had a couple of > children and all showed up for holiday meals.

Might have differences in some ways. In the USA, some call it 'dressing' which may mean they were used to not stuffing it in the bird to cook. |

Those here gobbling about a 13 - pounder being "too big" for two persons lack common sense...maybe Jill's hummingbird guests would find it a Lucullan feast, but in reality is perfect for one or two... That 13 pounds shrinks by about, what, 25% at least after roasting...then of that only around some 40% is edible, so you are left with a whopping maybe four pounds of turkey, the majority is breast... I bought a pre - roasted frozen Butterball 10 - pounder, that would be the equivalent of your bird after cooking. I got two meals outta the legs/thighs, with the wings I made a bit of stock, the rest is breast meat, good for prolly four more meals. So six modest meals total...if I were cooking for six people I'd do no less than an 18 - 20 pounder at a bare minimum, that might be enuf for some leftovers and for some take - away for guests... As for Cornish hens, a malnourished ghetto junkie pidgeon would be far preferable, those "hens" are tiny and bony and you spend more time dithering with bones than in eating them...if I were Satan I would serve my "guests" in Hell those FOUL rotten little FOWLS, those sinners would be wailing in protest about even *more* tortures being inflicted upon them, lol... -- Best Greg |

I only have one feeder (the saucer type) but as soon as I fill it I make another batch of sugar water and store it in the fridge in a mason jar so I can wash and refill it the next week. It's a vicious cycle but someone's gotta do it. ![]() Jill |

Plus nobody can trust Bruce. He'll just say later on that he was joking anyways. Much better, we call it an "Extracellular Matrix" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extracellular_matrix It's a pretty rough match, but it does satisfy the first paragraph because it's basically any organic material not contained within the turkey's original body structure. So, stovetop or not, it can be just about anything edible. I think we should work towards a consensus before anyone tries to include cauliflower. |

Chewy has a nice mix of bird seed and we add cracked corn and kitten chow. One of our neighbors has two pet geese that come over to munch. During winter the geese come to drink water, we have a large heated water bowl on the deck for the birds. During winter water is hard for critters to find, we keep a large heated water bowl in the barn and one in the gardening shed too... also small dog houses with heated pads for the outdoor cats. |

Easy to source here too. Suffolk VA is a major site for growing Peanuts. |
