Northerners cook stuffing on the stovetop, and southerners typically cook dressing in the oven.

Not so. Stuffing/dressing should be cooked in the bird.

I stuff the bird and call it “stuffing” here in NY/NJ. I do a bread stuffing that my mother always made - with Bell’s seasoning and onion, celery and diced carrot. Anything that can’t fit in the bird goes into a casserole dish. I always overdo the stuffing!

I was wondering if bread stuffing at its origins in the English/Irish bread sauce which is also delicious.
