"It is said that the hushpuppy got its name from the dredging of the catfish that would have been thrown out. Being thrifty, the cook from the house would send this down to the slave quarters and the women added a little milk, egg and onion and fried it up. It is said they were tossed at the dogs to keep them quiet while the food was being transferred from the pot to the table, i.e., "hush puppy! hush puppy!"
---A History of Soul Food
The hoe cakes got it's name from many decades ago. The biscuit or cornbread mixture was put on the hoe in hot ashes in the fire to cook. The Cherokee Indians cooked in that fashion as well.
Oh, I remember that now. I didn't know about 'hush puppies', but I had read about hoe cakes. I have fixed the johnny cakes here at home and the family will eat them at the meal, but they never seem to touch the leftovers. And I make enough of them so there are plenty of leftovers. But one of those johnny cakes sure does make a great carb snack when one is needed.
