There are certain soups that cry out for corn bread to accompany them. Burgoo is one,for example,and catfish chowder another. Stoner Crabber Oyster Stew is thickened with crumbled corn bread.
The ingredients for my butter-and-egg-rich corn bread can be juggled to accommodate a Southerners preference for white cornmeal and no sugar.Here is a Northerners style made with yellow cornmeal and some sugar
