Corn Bread

Dawg is posting this as that lame rye bread thread has been on there so long, Moses hisseeff must have posted it. Nobody on Planet Earth eats rye bread except Jewish refugees from Queens whereas we protestant Christian trailer park denizens from Muskogee consume copious amounts of corn bread between excursions into Hooterville to seek out outlets for fatback and collards.

Here is the best possible recipe for cornbread dressing to make your Christmas feast enjoyable, especially after having consumed at least a liter of estra dry sherry as Grandma used to do back in the 60s. Grandma used to pass out in the dressing about half through the meal and steal any that was left over. An admirable old lady who would have fit in perfectly at Lakeside.

SOUTH ALABAMA VIA AJAIJC CORNBREAD DRESSING FOR CHRISTMAS DINNER TO ACCOMPANY TURKEY OR POSSUM
One package of Marie Callendar´s yellow cornmeal mix baked according to instructions
Fry up chopped onions, celery and chicken livers in lots of butter
Defrost some of that deliicious chicken broth from your freezer or use a commercial product
Throw in some stale white bread or, even better, stale sweet bread to the mix
Throw the cornbread, stale sweet white bread, a can or so of chopped mushrooms wth the juice, the chicken broth and the butter sauteed oninos, celery and chicken livers and make a mush which then must be baked to the consistency of a turkey dressing.

Consume more sherry and even whisky or Havana Club Rum Añejo or Herradura Blanco Tequila while this stuff cooks in your oven.

Don´t forget to roast the turkey or possum.

Thanks Dawg, to both of you, have a happy Mayan celebration down there in San Cristobal and environs. We'll be holding the fort here. Essentially spitting in the eye of those who stated the end of the world was coming. Hahaha.

Cheers,

I am doubting the authenticity of this recipe, everyone knows that cornbread (and certainly dressing) is never sweet...are you trying to trick us, Dawg?

Sweet cornbread is common where I grew up in Texas.
And I love rye bread.

We find Marie Callendar's to be somewhat on the sweet side.

Johnnycake with maple syrup is exceptionally popular especially in Algonquin park.

Lotsa butter, salted too.

Ah, yes...but there is no sugar in a johnnycake...what ever you put on it is quite another thing.
Secretly, I like sweet cornbread, but that don't make it proper.
I wonder how Mexican customs feels about corn meal? They don't mind if you are driving but I am not sure about flying. I would hate to give up a good 5 pounds in my return flight luggage for something that is going to get taken away from me.

Raised on Cornbread & do not recognize these recipes
Don't forget the big iron skillet

Just for the record, Dawg´s cornbread dressing is not really meant to reflect my South Alabama heritage where serving sweet corn bread dressing would be unthinkable. They not only make lousy , dry, unsweetened corn bread down there but also (gasp!) coat seafood with corn meal, fry it and serve it with hush puppies or greasy corn meal balls. I lived in California most of my life and married a French woman so no more corn pone, grits and fried okra for this boy.

New England Johnnycake is sweeted with black molases
but it is very different than Johnnycake everywhere else but it
is sweet. I think many different recipes for Johnnycake and corn
bread depending on where you are.

and his sweet wife will not eat turkey dressing which in my opinion is a big waste of time. Just stuff the thing with chestnuts and forget it. Actually I do not care for turkey either so we usually do not have it for Christmas and the Dawg has to make his own....

I'm not fond of turkey either, however a nice buttery bread stuffing is good, and almost worth eating turkey just to get that and the gravy.

It appears that California and fancy French women have corrupted the Dawg.

Without question, Ms. Thang, except for that fancy part. As she wrote earlier, she won´t touch my cornbread dressing but, bear in mind, French people think corn and ground corn are for feeding hogs and goats and unfit for human consumption - sweetened or unsweetened. Corn bread is an unknown concept. What the hell do they know.

But they love their snails,go figure.

snails are cheap you find them by the side of the road after a good rain and we have plenty of those.Just cover the taste with lots of butter, garlic and parsley and you can eat just about anything. Think of it maybe that is what I should plaster on the corn bread....

The Brits are the same. The big guy cannot be enticed into eating anything made of corn.

Oh lordy I am almost afraid to ask what a winkle is...but what is it?

Let's segue to oysters. It's oyster time - colder water equals great oysters. Made oyster stuffing last year. YUM, YUM, YUM. Just query Mr/Ms Google. Making it again, just add gravy and forget about the bird, if you so desire. Gravy is both a beverage and a major food group. Swanson's Organic chicken broth works a charm. Oyster stuffing made with corn bread could prove interesting.

raw oysters are even better and no need for a stove...

Exactly. What the hell do they know if they feed corn to goats? Unless they want dead goats.
