Nope. Stuffing isnt just stuffing somthing to make a dish, and it is italian, yea italians made it first. Southerners are the ones still using old british style eng, and say dressing in replace of the word stuffing even when it is shoved up an animal!
Stuffing is still stuffing outside an animal (yea) because it is a safer cooking method. A cook bird will give u food posioning because bacteria can live in the raw stuffing (the meat in stuffing can still be raw, plus the bird leaves bacteria in stuffing).
