Oh I don't know Doug. Perhaps if we cook with self rising flour!
Give my recipe a try. In the words of Andy Griffith, its GooOOooood!

I'd suggest adding some finely diced onion, preferably wild onion or ramps.
Used to be relatively common in restaurant hushpuppies but now it is going
the way of sweet iced tea. The South apparently is not going to rise again
after all.....

Absolutely! But this mix has onions in it. Just looked at
the package I had and it says 'HushPuppy Mix with Onions'.
However, I don't know if this means they also sell a mix
without onions.

I'm looking at a data file for Winn Dixie, and it shows a mix without
onions. UPC 73484-12303, WD code 0520038767. Carried by their Raleigh NC
division. Also carried by Merchants Distributors, Hickory NC, their code
19258. Shouldn't be hard for a retailer to order a case.

Correction to my previous post. The brand is House-Autry and not
House of Autry.

With all this talk of hushpuppies, I started craving a fish fry
and fried up some fish and hushpuppies for dinner.

1 1/2 pounds shredded green cabbage

Place shredded cabbage in covered dish in refrigerator for several

2 1/2 Lb. box of frozen corn
1 teaspoon salt

Cook corn in a small amount of water. Add salt, sugar, and cream.

little kids fishing there, unless there was a second adult to make sure
their hands never went near their mouths until they'd washed.

It could be that these problems are relatively recent. I was in PR from
1951-1954, about 50 years ago. We fished from the bank. I don't recall any
warnings or worries about getting in the water, however.

Harry,

This has NOTHING to do with hushpuppies,

I live on Julington Creek, and am a member of the local USCG Auxiliary.
I have been very concerned with the St. Johns River's health, even
before there was such a thing as a newsgroup.

The NAS superfund site was cleaned up during the Regan administration.

According to Dr. Carole DeMort, Federal Marine Biologist for the local
area Navy and Chairperson of University of North Florida's Marine
Biology Department, there are no such plans to exempt the military from
any environmental standards.

In fact, both Naval Air Station, and Mayport Naval Station have
installed a state of the art oil spill containment facilities and rapid
response units attached to the fire departments on bases.

The Jacksonville Fire Department also has a HAZMAT rapid response unit
on the 4 fireboats, and the local Coast Guard has a "2 million gallon
per hour slick guzzler" and 6000' of containment boom.

In my opinion, the military has done a faithful job of insuring site
cleanups and addressing containment issues.

Our worst (superfund) pollution problem is from the Hipps road landfill,
which was recently designated as a superfund site and is scheduled to be
delt with this spring.

The worst problem with the St. Johns is fertilizer runoff (storm water)
from all the privately owned lawns and farms in the Palatka & Green Cove
Springs area.

The river is much cleaner then it was even ten years ago, but we still
have a long way to go in efforts to return it to the pristine waterway
it was in the early 1800's. (That's when my family move to "Cowford")

See my website for a discussion of the river's springs and health.

Hi Doug, Chang's Chinese is still around and has expanded to 3
locations. Jacksonville and surrounding area has quintupled in size
since the 80's and the population topped the million mark in '96.

There is a "new" mall at the intersection of Southside Blvd. and
Phillips Hwy. (US1) in which opened a Bouca De Beppo, Italian
restaurant. Mighty tasty food. The city government passed a vote "The
Better Jacksonville Plan" and is re-building older infrastructure, and
adding a great deal of new stuff.
The old Veteran's Memorial Coliseum has been torn down and the new 12,00
seat "Jacksonville Arena" has been built in its place. It opens in a few
days with an Elton John concert. The memorial wall was saved and is a
permanent fixture of the sports/entertainment complex.
New parks and boat launching ramps are under construction all over the
city. You will recall the nightmare trip into Mayport Naval station if
you had to make a north turn from Atlantic blvd. This has been remedied
with a dedicated overpass which flies from Atlantic to Mayport Rd. There
is also a new expressway "Wonderwood expressway" which will connect into
Mayport Road from north of Regency Square. Most of it is a long bridge.
295 is now a loop around both sides of the city, the southern/eastern
portion designated 9A. It sports an impressive bridge (Dame Point
Bridge) and more than 75 overpasses. I can now go from Mandarin to the
Beaches in less then 20 minuets. A trip which once took over an hour and
was 20 miles longer.

I have some live rivercams on my website if you wish to have a look.

A REAL hush puppy is nothing but a bit of fried corn bread batter. Hush
puppies are so named because that's exactly what their orginal purpose
was: something to toss to hungry barking dogs to shut 'em up. It was
only after someone (prob'ly a Yankee...Yankees don't really like real
southern cooking, so they change it into something else and pretend it's
still southern cooking) decided to turn hush puppies into people food
that recipes began to include onions, jalapenos and whatever else.

REAL southern cooking is what some people call "soul food" 'cuz that
sounds trendier than "poor folks food". But that's what it really is.
Wheat flour is hard to come by in the south, but anyone can grow
corn...and they invented cornbread....and hominy...and how to make
grits. "High class" green vegetables like peas and green beans cost
more to grow than turnips...carrots only grow in sandy soil (the south
is red clay)...and someone found that turnip greens (the part of the
turnip that grows above ground) are edible if simmered with "fat back"
(a chunk of bacon trimmings), salt and pepper. Pigs don't cost much to
raise, so they had meat and learned how to preserve it...since they
couldn't afford to waste anything, they also learned how make pig's feet
and hog jowls edible...and turn the entrails into chitterlings
(correctly pronounced "chitlins"--and the the only thing I know of that
tastes and smells worse is Scottish haggis). They grew peanuts and
learned to boil 'em as well as roast 'em. This was--and is--the diet of
poor southerners, black AND white.

But some time during the civil rights era, it got the name "soul food"
and for a while was THE "in cuisine" among the trendy. But people who
can afford better don't like it, so they had to change it into something
they do like while calling it by its orginal names. And that includes
hush puppies, which are actually nothing more a bite size bit of stone
ground cornmeal and buttermilk fried in some lard.

Hush Puppies
 

Lloyd, Don't know if you guys have "Skippers" (I know don't wake the
dead) seafood restaurants up your way,(Seattle does)but if so, They just
started serving Hush Puppies, not bad either, and since I don't live in
Ballard anymore to get to my favorite fish place's, Gordo's or Totem
House, I have no choice but "Skippers" UD

A REAL hush puppy is nothing but a bit of fried corn bread batter. Hush puppies
are so named because that's exactly what their orginal purpose was: something to

Well, once again Peggy posts one of the most informative posts I've seen in a
while. Thanks, Peggy!

We have a cornmeal "bread" known as bannock, originated by the natives. (it's
actually really good stuff to make onboard - doesn't take an over, etc.). I'll
trade you some bannock for some hushpuppies...

I grew up eating all that stuff here in Texas. BTW, there is PLENTY of sandy
soil in TX... we can grow carrots! BTW, you forgot Collard Greens and
Cracklin's.... pork fat fried until crispy, sorta. The genesis of what they
call pork rinds in the store, but a LOT heavier and greasier... probably the
most direct way to a heart attack I can think of!
