This brings back childhood memories...
My Mom, who was from MN, used to make us 'johnny cake' for breakfast. She poured warm milk over it so we would have a hot breakfast before school. That absolutely ruined it...soggy bread - YUCK! I could not convince her that I hated to eat it soggy, would have preferred a glass of milk with it, not on it. Nope, we had to have a hot breakfast, whether we liked it or not. Those were the 'good old days' when kids ate what was on the table or went hungry. I think I would have preferred to go hungry, but that wasn't going to happen on her watch!
Ever since then, I don't like corn bread. My siblings liked it, so it must have been good. But you will never get a recipe for corn bread of any kind from me!
