In the comments to my post about the Mennonite Relief Sale I had a few questions.
Pam asked what Mush is. Well......here's the recipe.
FRIED CORN MEAL MUSH
1 c. cold water
1 c. corn meal
3 c. boiling water
1 tsp. salt
Mix cold water and corn meal. Stir into boiling water and salt. Cook, stirring, until it boils; cover and cook over boiling water in double boiler 30 minutes or cook on slow fire, uncovered. Pack into greased metal can or mold. Cover with plastic and chill overnight or until firm. Slice 1/2 inch thick and brown in skillet. Serve with syrup.
I usually slice it a bit thinner and then fry it crispy. Crispy is yummy. Then serve with butter and heated syrup. Oh and sausage. Gotta have sausage.
Oh, My. It really is very good. You just can't have it very often. Not exactly low fat/low calorie.
