Cornbread Supper, March 8, 2010: Fuig!



Our Cornbread Supper tradition is to invite those who bring food to list its contents on little slips of paper, primarily so people with allergies or aversions can be forewarned. This little slip stood out because of its pre-school author's verve and enthusiasm for the delicious "fuig" she had helped make. Read the contents - you will likely recognize those that are crucial: "choclet cheps," "vnela" and "mrshmlo craem."

Exciting to see how participation in a convivial event extends through all ages. We treasure the children who take part.

And we treasure the adults, too! Other dishes listed on paper slips for this delicious Supper:
  • Roasted Red Pepper and Pistachio Dip & Pita Chips
  • Tomato Bisque with Roasted Corn & Onion & Cilantro (Vegetarian)
  • Greek Yogurt Cukes
  • Baba Ganoush (eggplant dip) vegan
  • Fresh Salsa (spicy)
  • Veggie Lo Mein
  • Foccacia (from Bluegrass Baking Co.)
  • Yeasted Corn-Onion Bread (vegetarian)
  • Oatmeal Cookies and Oatmeal Raisin Cookies from Great Harvest Bread Company
  • "Bête Noire" (Flourless Chocolate Cake from Bluegrass Baking Co.)

Boone Tavern Spoon Bread, the 1950s recipe

We have tried spoonbreads (soft, luscious, buttery—described by James Beard as a "heavy, dense soufflé") as Cornbread Supper mainstays before, and used great recipes, but the spoonbreads always did what spoonbreads (and soufflés) do: deflate. Through serendipity, and thanks to a Cornbread Supperian, I lucked into the old Boone Tavern (Berea College) recipe for spoonbread, and it is far less droopy. Perhaps Boone Tavern developed an approach to spoonbread that preserves all its goodness while still working for a busy restaurant. In any case, with thanks to Kentucky food and foodways author and guru John van Willigen, here's an excellent recipe for that can be doubled, tripled, and quadrupled to feed spoonbread to a crowd. It did just that on Monday, February 25, 2013. From Richard T. Hougen. Look No Further: A cookbook of favorite recipes from Boone Tavern Hotel, Berea College, Kentucky.

Cornbread Supper now is resting

 For all the Cornbreadians and would-be Cornbreadians -- it was a good run. A bit more than nine years.  You came on Mondays. Conviviality ensued. You made community. Gratitude to all. It was a gift to us.

Nine Years of Cornbread Suppers, Plus a few FAQs for new people

Cornbread Supper, spring 2018 As Cornbread Supper celebrates its ninth anniversary, if you aren't already coming, here are a few answers to questions you may have. You're always invited.  No RSVP necessary. All are welcome.  Bring a dish or a bottle to share, or just come. Bring a good listening ear, children, friends, a bright spirit, a good story. There's a lot more specific information on this website: look in the sidebars and you may find answers to your questions. New people come almost every week. We do have corn-something on the table every week. Usually it's Kentucky black skillet cornbread, vegetarian and naturally gluten-free. Cornbread Suppers tend to start very close to 6 PM. If you come later, you will probably find things to eat, but there may not be many options. Every once in a while, especially in July and August but other times as well, something will change and Cornbread Supper will not be at 250 Campsie Place in Lexington, Kentucky at ...
