My introduction to cornbread came from Ass Kickin Corn Bread packet mix.
I'd read lots of American fiction, but not been there, so I was delighted to find an American mail-order store in England (in pre-internet days this was pure chance) that supplied things which puzzled me.

I made it, I loved it, I craved it.

More recently I got a recipe from the Cellar and have used it more than once.
The first time was just too bland, I forgot that the one I was used to was highly flavoured.
I've adapted the recipe to my taste since.

Turns out my fave is Aunt Jemima's Easy Mix, which surely makes me hellbound. I either have to travel 20 miles or pay postage for it. It's cheaper to make it, but only if I already have polenta in the house.

I do love me some cornbread!
