Hush, Puppy



I whipped up these hushpuppies when I got home from work this evening. These have corn and onions in them. So good!

[The origin of the name "Hushpuppy" dates back to the Civil War. Legend has it that Southern soldiers would sit beside a campfire, preparing meals. When Union soldiers came near, they would toss their barking dogs fried cakes with the command "Hush, puppies", thus the name. ~ C.C.]

Nothing could be more southern than fried hush puppies! 'Nuff to make your tongue slap your brains out!

I heard another expression the other day. Something to the effect of, "Put some on top of your head, and your tongue will slap your brains out trying to get to it."
