Jo, Growing up I never knew there was any other kind of dressing than cornbread! My MIL is originally from Illinois and I ate what she called bread dressing for the first time and my best friend's family made the same thing because they were from Ohio originally. They told me that was the only kind of dressing made up there and that they hadn't eaten cornbread dressing until they came south. I'm not fond of dressing period and don't eat it but I'm sorry- that bread dressing made me GAG! I couldn't eat it....I've been given the impression that cornbread dressing isn't generally served up north but don't know if that's true or not- maybe some of ya'll can enlighten me though
