As the story goes, some southern guys went fishing and then fried up the fish to eat it, covered in a flour or corn-flour batter. Their dogs were yowling for some of the fish, but not wanting to give them the fish, one of the guys threw balls of batter into the grease in the hot pan, cooked that, and then threw some to the dogs, yelling, "Hush Puppies! " The dogs loved them, so the people tried them too, and fried hush puppies were created as a southern side-dish. Often told is the variant that escaping slaves would use the fried bread balls to distract dogs. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems very likely too. Maybe some white guys made up the other story to steal credit for the name? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are already cooked aren't they and then frozen? I'm sure those are good too. But I like to make them from scratch and usually when were cooking up Deer.. I don't really make the hush puppies anymore.. Those Corn Fritters are just too good to pass up making if I'm gonna make anything like them at all.. The corn bits in there are just such a sweet treat.. If I fry anything, it's in olive oil anyways.. It's the only way I can enjoy fried food at all.. I can't do much of anything greasy.. I just feel dirty afterwards and i don't like the smell.. hehehe 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friendly and approachable, honest! I've always found it to be the other way round, the "open and friendly parcels" owned by the "what's mine is mine and what's YOURS is mine too" brigade, are the ones most likely to encroach on other peoples land, because "All land is public and Public includes ME ME ME ME ME!" I put up banlines, and have a zero second oeb, and I don't encroach, but my NEW vehicle fanatic neighbour, encroaced 4 times in their first week, until I b*tch slapped their stuff into their Lost & Found Folder. I did actually try IM'ing them first, but no reply, since they are a vehicle fanatic, the fact that I have ban line up probably means they blocked me before we'd even spoken. "Friendly and approachable, honest!" Meh, never found those vehicle fanatics either of those terms.

I like scampi They're all good, but cod is really expensive now...one of my favourites is whitebait, they're really small fried fish and delicious with lemon or garlic...but they're more restaurant-style, I don't think most chipshops do them. Jellied eels on brown bread are boss 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
