Good question. I always assumed it was from New England, part and parcel with the oyster stuffing. But then someone said their grandma from Georgia made them and now I have no idea.

I'm from Massachusetts and never heard of let alone ate oyster stuffing or creamed onions growing up. Neither sounds appealing, but to each his own.

I distinctly remember when I first heard of oyster stuffing--in the book (also movie--late 60s or early 70s) Diary of a Mad Housewife, where the husband (Manhattan) insists on oysters in the stuffing and the kids freak out crying.

Every year my dad opined on wanting to have oyster stuffing, and every year my mom would refuse to make it, lol. Poor dad.

We are in the midwest, so definitely not just a New England thing.

“Poor dad” could have gotten off his duff and made a dish he wanted.

You sound like my FIL, who whines that MIL never makes tuna casserole. Finally I looked him dead in the eye and said, “You do a lot of whining about not having tuna casserole for someone who has two hands and can read.” Everyone laughed, even FIL.
