Here's a question for our esteemed BK:
Have you ever had hush puppies? What did you think of them?
By which I mean, the corn meal treats sometimes served with southern cooking, particularly with pulled pork and the like. Not the shoes, which I can't think would taste very good.
I served up some very good ham a few nights ago, and made hush puppies as the main side dish, using a recipe in the
Lee Brothers Southern Cookbook. Aside from my getting the oil too hot, the recipe made for a great number of very good hush puppies - perhaps too many for the two of us.
The problem is, I don't think it would be easy to halve the recipe, since it calls for just one egg.
I suppose we could share with the real puppies, the ones who need shushing every once in a while.
