Cornbread

Cornbread is a quick bread made with cornmeal, associated with the cuisine of the Southern United States.

Cornbread has its origins in Native American cuisine. Dumplings and pancakes made with finely ground cornmeal were staple foods of the Hopi people in Arizona. Cherokee and Seneca tribes enriched the basic batter, adding chestnuts, sunflower seeds, apples or berries, and sometimes combining beans or potatoes with the cornmeal.

Modern versions are seen on the menus of most Southern Restaurants and are particularly popular in TexMex, BBQ and Fried Seafood Restaurants.
