EGGERS: Dressing. They were looking for stuffing.
(C-Note: I call shenanigans. From About.com...
The term stuffing first appears in English print in 1538. After
1880, it seems the term stuffing did not appeal to the propriety of
the Victorian upper crust, who began referring to it as dressing.
Nowadays, the terms stuffing and dressing are used interchangeably,
with stuffing being the term of preference in the South and East
