What a treasure this thraed has turned out to be. Glad I let it "ripen" before entering. I'm am amazed, however, that it went this far with no mention of the one "ingredient" Rick presumably has ready access to - good ol' maple syrup. I grew up a bit west of Chicago, with roots and kin in Iowa and Wisconsin. We never had cornbread without it being soaked in maple syrup. Good honey comes sorta close, but not quite. Cornbread and beans was standard fare for those times when there was "more month than money." Then, when I came to the South, I was introduced to "cracklin' bread" - basically cornbread with fried chitlin's and some diced sweet onions added to the batter and baked in the bread. The preferred "topping" by most native southerners is either cane syrup or molasses, but I still prefer maple syrup when I can find it; otherwise, tupelo honey. I've never developed a "taste" for chitlins, so I usually substitute chopped smoked bacon, but be careful not to over cook the bacon.

Did I hear M Ted right? Spinach, kale, olive oil? Sounds suspiciously Yankee to me.

Mustard greens, OK, but it should be turnip greens with just a few mustard greens in them. Cook with bacon grease and salt, then pour on the vinegar at the table.

Best if you have some hot pepper vinegar for those turnip greens Mary.....and since you're in Kentucky, I'm sure you do.

And if you have the energy to pick and clean them, nothing goes better than dandelion greens in bacon!

Paddymac: Chittlins: are they fried bacon rhinds? I have never heard of including them, or fried bacon in cornbread. Sounds good though.

I love fresh greens. I don't really know how to cook them though, so I rely on canned or frozen. Not nearly as good.

Someone mentioned Black-Eyed Peas earlier in the thread. In my humble opinion, anyone who has ever tasted fresh black-eyes and didn't like them were just a bit skewed in the head. Especially with a hot batch of cornbread.

This is one Hell of a sociological study ya know folks. I'm starting to get the feeling that EVERYONE wants to EAT Southern whether they are or not!

So what is the origin of cornbread? Are there any OLD English or Irish recipes? Did this come over with the sttlers, or did the natives actually present it to them?

Most of the real "Southern" recipes are really european peasant cuisine of one kind or another, often with available ingredients substituted--

And Mary, you overlooked the olive oil, hardly a Yankee staple--the best way to serve the greens and beans is over polenta, which some of you may call corn meal mush--if I feel like it, a couple of anchovies give a nice flavor to the greens--

One thing I'll bring up though, is that the old folks. though they lived on corn meal and beans, tended to complain about it, and went to eating canned foods and packaged of all sorts, when they became available--

This has become a real guide to corn-based breads. I have bookmarked it because of the variations in the recipes that I might try.
There is something in what Rick says. Cajun restaurants have spread to the cowboy country of western Canada (and, I'm sure, pretty well across the area of the States between the coasts). People are much more adventurous than they used to be, they buy cookbooks by the dozen, and they eat out more, ready to try the new recipes brought in by the immigrants. In this inland western Canadian city (once strictly steak and potatoes country), we have good Ethiopian, Moroccan, Middle eastern, Thai, Vietnamese, Korean, Spanish, Mexican, Japanese, Moravian, Ukrainian, Mongolian, east Indian, continental European, etc. etc. in addition to the various U. S. west coast, southern and southwestern menus. Oyster bars, specialty breweries, and wines and beers from everywhere have popped up.
Formerly, only the Chinese set up restaurants in the smaller centers. The old joke used to be that travelers across Canada would starve if the Chinese closed their cafes. I'm sure the same thing is happening in the British Isles.

I've really enjoyed this thread, and like M. Ted, I'm sure going to try some of these recipes.

For those of you who enjoy down home cooking I can recommend a magazine that my brother sends me each year: "Taste of Home." It is available for $14.98 for a year's subscription and it has some great recipes. My issue arrived today and it had a recipe for fried leftover mashed potatoes that might be of interest since we have discussed them in this thread: Mix 2/3 cup leftover roast beef with 1 cup leftover mashed potatoes, some chopped onion and a dash of pepper. Shape the mixture into patties, coat with cornmeal and fry them in a bit of oil until brown.

Mary-- thanks. I remembered that flat bread recipe as soon as I saw it.

Catspaw -- my favorite treat when I ride my bike a ridiculous distance is to come home and make a batch of yellow corn grits with frozen corn stirred in. I serve it with butter and salt and pepper, figuring that having ridden my bike for several hours, I get to eat about a ton of "free" carbos and grease. This is only partially true, of course, but mmmm-mmmm-mmmm, does that concoction taste yummy.

The other option is green-chile/cheese grits, but they're not a quickie dish. Otherwise, I haven't a lot of use for grits, Southern or not Southern.

At risk of running this thread so long it takes forever to load, how many readers of this list have made cornbread this week? We did tonight--and my son beamed happily when he saw what I was mixing up. Had it with pot roast. Okay, not a traditional mix, but I was craving cornbread, for some reason, and the kids didn't complain!

I made the recipe I posted above--it seemed more crumbly than usual. I probably needed to let it sit a little and absorb the liquid more before baking it. But next time I'll try one of the other recipes. If the Mudcat ever decides to do a fundraiser cookbook, Max and others won't need to look far for recipes! And we'll all be the ones to buy it. And it reminds me--a friend of mine from Tupelo, Mississippi invited me over for Christmas the year (1980) I was feeling rather stranded in Monroe, Louisiana (only could find country on the radio, no classical, not even rock'n'roll!). He took me out to eat fried catfish, the skinned fish rolled in cornmeal (which stayed put) and panfried. It was wonderful. Greasy, but wonderful. I've tried it a few times, but could never a) get the cornmeal to really stick and b) keep it from soaking up too much grease. I'll stick to dredging trout through salt, pepper, and flour to saute in olive oil or butter, and have to eat the catfish when I'm in Mississippi. . . Unless someone on this list knows how to make the cornmeal stick to the fish, that is. ;-)

From: Mary in Kentucky

Maggie, I always fry fish in cornmeal, but I'm not sure what makes the coating stick. Maybe the fish has to be cold before you dredge in cornmeal. We always soak the fish in cold salt water in the fridge before frying. Also, the grease has to be hot, and it helps to have a well-seasoned iron skillet (I lost one in a bonfire while burning the crud off) or a non-stick one. Whenever I fried fish (in the past, I try to cook healthy now) I had to change the oil often. Did you know that lighting a candle in the kitchen helps get rid of the fish odor? A friend of mine who fries catfish often, uses the cornmeal coating and a deep fat fryer. She also buys (dare I say the word Jiffy) a hushpuppy mix that has jalepenos in it, and is simply to die for. (I always had to fry hushpuppies in a deep fat fryer because they would flatten out too much in the skillet.)

Yes, I had to make cornbread last weekend after reading this thread! We had a local mill in our county that made Kentucky Kernal cornmeal. Their recipe was the best. Since they went out of business, I'm not sure what recipe to use now. I probably put too much oil in mine last time, but it sure was good. My friend who fries catfish, and breaks bread, etc. says that she adds 1/2 package of yellow Jiffy to her white self-rising recipe. She used to make cornbread in a large skillet, but then started using the little cast iron corn-shaped utensil when she started cooking for fewer people.

I am not a fried foods person, but I have been told that, in order to keep the catfish (or anything fried) from soaking up a lot of grease, you have to make sure the oil is really hot--many cooking oils start to smoke and even burn before they get to a high enough temperature, and the heat source has got to be just right--it seems like a rather involved process to me--

Grits were mentioned earlier in the thread. My brother puts a tablespoon of grits in his cornbread mix and believes it improves the flavor. I don't know how one could improve the taste of good cornbread.

Doug, that is what I was referring to that my friend uses. I think she sprays it with PAM (non-stick vegetable coating spray). Of course, like Spaw says, the cast iron tray of little corn-shaped sticks is seasoned (baked in a slow oven with oil for a very long time, or repeatedly until it has a nice coating). Her cornbread is delicious whether she uses the skillet or makes the sticks. Also, another friend who makes the Jiffy cornbread muffins (that's 'cause it ain't really cornbread) puts them in little muffin papers and sprays the papers with PAM.

Dare we talk about fried chicken? It took me nearly twenty years to figure out how to make it.

And about the only grits I eat is a garlic-cheese grits casserole that has been popular since Kraft came out with the garlic-cheese.

CORN MEAL DUMPLINGS

Surprised no one has mentioned these yet(or did I miss it in this long thread?).
1 cup corn meal (white best; finer)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon melted butter

Mix together corn meal (or sift), flour, baking powder and salt. Beat eggs and milk together, then stir in the dry ingredients. Add the melted butter.
Drop batter from a spoon into a pot of heated stock. Cover tightly and cook over a low heat for 15 minutes.
My wife's sister just throws these together without a recipe, which I can't do. Also I have trouble if the stock, soup. etc. isn't at least simmering with some bubbles rising. I found this one in the American Heritage Cookbook.
Polenta also deserves mention.
And then there are tortillas. We especially like tortillas made with blue corn meal. Blue corn chips are available generally, but the blue tortillas are little known outside the southwest.
And hominy! (can usually be found in cans). As a base for posole it is indispensable.

I'm new to the Mudcat and if this thread is any indication of what's to come, I am glad to have found my way here.

Stilly River- We use left over mashed potatoes to bind together our salmon patties. If there are any left-over. My husband makes the best mashed potatoes. Not a brag, simply a statement of fact.

For those of you who enjoy the history and regional aspects of cooking, I suggest _Smokehouse Ham, Spoon Bread, & Scuppernong Wine_ by Joseph E. Dabney, published by Cumberland House (1998). It won the Jame Beard/Kitchen Aid Cook Book of the Year award. It's excellent reading if you never try a receipe, and the receipes are good.

My grandpa use to say at hog killin' time on his farm that they used everything but the squeal. I wish I had the recipe for his pork sausages. The ladies in the family sewed muslin sacks to stuff the sausage in weeks before the day, and Grandpa hung the sausage, along with the hams when they had been brined in salt long enough, to rafters in the smokehouse to season. Probably not many young people today have the opportunity to witness a "hog killin'," Mary. At least not the way they were done sixty years ago or so. It was a sunup to midnight job, as I recall.

Which has nothing to do at all with cornbread of course.

I can't remember if this was the thread, and I don't want to read through all of the posts to find out, but tonight I tried fried left-over mashed potatoes. That was discussed in some thread I know. Anyway, what I produced looked terrible, but it tasted great. I added a bit of salt and pepper to the mashed potatoes, added an egg, and a little milk, formed pattys and fried them in a bit of butter.

Rick, I would never have imagined this thread would reach this length. I always opined that had the South won the Civil War, the only good thing that would have come out of it was the U. S. Army would have served cornbread dressing at Thanksgiving and Christmas instead of bread dressing. Anybody that has been in the U. S.

Doug, you were approaching one of the classic French Recipes, Pommes de terre duchesse! It usually starts with one pound peeled boiled potatoes rubbed through a sieve. Put the puree in a saucepan, dry off for a few moments, on the heat, turning with a wooden spoon; add 3 tablespoons butter, season with salt, pepper and a little nutmeg (or how you like potatoes seasoned), bind with one egg and mix. Chefs often use it for garnish around a main dish, etc. But if you make into croquettes (patties) and brown lightly, they are damn good. The chefs use yellow potatoes.
