Ah, the memories. Once (mumble) years ago at the National Storytelling Festival (in Tennessee), there was a grand discussion over breakfast as to the huge variety of baked goods called "cornbread". The restaurant was serving little round discs (think the shape of crumpets, or what are called "English muffins" in the USA, but made with cornmeal, and a smaller diameter). A local gentleman remembered the first time he had cornbread as part of a meal in the navy; he thought it was cake and set it aside for his dessert.
