Well, you ain't et till you've et the Southern Living carrot cake with cream cheese icing. That cream cheese icing is the best I have ever et. And the carrot cake ain't nothin' to ignore either. One without the other isn't so good as the two together. Draft effect. Racing again.

Who cares if it's a food thread?

We use "stuffing" and "dressing" both here in slightly southern Virginia. We do not use filling except for sweet things. We stuff our hens and turkeys, but we also serve dressing. I'd say we tend to use dressing more that stuffing, but this is an unscientific guess and I have been known to be wrong many times in my life. Fillings would be more for pies and other pastries.

What I'd like to know is what do you call that suet ball of plum pudding you hang in November to have ready by Christmas? Is there anything in particular that it should be called? I've heard pudding bag, but only in a child's song.

Batter regards,
