Cornbread Supper for PresDay, February 21, 2011






















Although we have crocuses blooming -- at last -- it was not exactly balmy for the 2011 Presidents' Day edition of Cornbread Suppers. Even so, we cleaned the winter dust off the porch table and chairs, and lit the outside candle. Sure enough, out of the large crowd of Cornbreadians who came to Supper, quite a few made their way onto the porch for play and fresh air February dining.

Monday holidays bring people to Cornbread Supper who have regular obligations on other Mondays. The mix keeps mixing, and is fine and invigorating. Or maybe that was the Kombucha and the delightful spices in this week's foods.
  • Kombucha (fermented green tea)
  • Kale, squash, white beans, onions, etc.
  • Mac & a bunch of cheeses, peas & marjoram, tomatoes
  • Chelb, peasant bread
  • Roasted cauliflower w/Parmesan
  • Traditional Black Skillet Cornbread (vegetarian on the right, animalian/pork drippings on the left)
  • Sorghum Butter -- Unpasteurized Homemade Pastured Butter. Try w/cornbreads
  • Roast Vegetable Stew "Non-Veg"
  • Lentils, Garbanzos, chard, vegetarian
  • Romano Cheese Biscuits
  • Greens, Black Walnuts, Cranberries, Vinaig

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.

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.
