Re: Hushpuppies - was Ahem! (blush)



Yet another version of the hushpuppy story

Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, in her book Cross Creek ,relates the following version of the invention of hushpuppies.  Coastal southerners frequently fried their fish.  This would attract the attention of the dogs, hunting or otherwise, and the cooks would fry lumps of the fish batter and toss that to the dogs with the admonition to "hush puppy."  She got this history from the local hunters.
