My son is very found of cornbread, so while on vacation last summer I bought a cornbread cookbook (The Cornbread Gospels by Crescent Dragonwagon (what a name!)) In addition to recipes, the book contains a lot of information about the history of cornbread and its myriad regional variations.
Most everybody considers cornbread to be a "Southern" food but I cannot recall a single time when cornbread was mentioned on TAGS. I'll be the first to admit that as I've gotten older my memory isn't quite what it used to be, but can anybody else think of a mention of cornbread on The Show? The closest I've come up with in Stranger in Town, when Andy sarcastically wonders if Ed came to Mayberry to "find out how we make fried chicken and jonnycake," but according to this book jonnycakes originated in Rhode Island.
