The Food Timeline--history notes: ambrosia to corn bread

The Food Timeline--history notes: ambrosia to corn bread

Corn bread is literally being brought to a new generation with the success of Thomas' Toasting Corn Bread. In the past week I have had two employees mention to me that they had never had corn bread prior to this.

One of the employees is a history major (well sort of), and his comments spurred this internet search.

The history of corn bread is really quite interesting. I did not realize that it was looked down upon so much (largely due to the hard nature of colonial and even Civil War Era breads.

Definitely worth your time to check it out!

And if you have not tried the bread, I would highly highly recommend it! Especially toasted with maple syrup on it. EXCELLENT!
