I ...Kay, you sound like a bred and born Southerner! I am glad you have corn bread. Who could enjoy a meal like this without it? As far as I know corn bread (and its earlier mush/pudding recipe) came from our Indian friends. My Cherokee great grandmother, I am told, cooked the mush variety every day, over an open fire. Anyone have the story of corn bread? I'm thankful someone passed it on.

I actually made some the other day (the recipe came from the restaurant at Shaker Village in KY). I may have to make some again soon!<br /><br />Happy New Year! :) Karen Langehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18177923284595298347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139112422565969072.post-29829497833984608522013-12-30T16:41:02.215-05:002013-12-30T16:41:02.215-05:00My friends and family usually eat black-eyed peas ...My friends and family usually eat black-eyed peas cooked with hunks of link sausage, rice, collards, cooked cabbage, and fried hog jowl. Of course, we have corn bread and whatever anyone brings to the meal.

I think I've had it every year that I can recall. What used to be Pork Roast and Sauerkraut is for me now Pork Roast and Stir fry -- that's the American way, right? the blending of the new and old and cultures.<br /><br />So enjoy your hoppin John (make Debra E.
