WHAT ARE YOU HAVING FOR BREAKFAST IN THE MORNING?
Washington, D.C. (JFK+50) "How about a plate of fried mush* for breakfast tomorrow morning?"
That question is asked by Charles E. Tracewell in his "This and That" column in the Evening Star of March 27, 1926.
Mr. Tracewell says that there is nothing more appealing than fried mush, "piping hot from the pan."
He adds...
"Slices of mush, properly fried, golden brown...are fit for the gods."
*fried mush is made by cooking cornmeal into a thick porridge, cooling it until solid, then pan-frying slices in butter or bacon grease until golden and crispy. It is commonly served hot with butter & maple syrup.
