I remember cooking cornmeal mush in college to use for tamale pie.<br /> And if there are leftovers (the mush, not the pie), you spread it out in a flat dish, refrigerate, and the next day you fry up little slabs of it. Serve with butter and maple syrup.cookiecrumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00741894180391507513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5732224038883472327.post-18943685476097388922011-09-03T13:08:03.205-07:002011-09-03T13:08:03.205-07:00Cookiecrumb, do you remember eating corn meal mush...Cookiecrumb, do you remember eating corn meal mush? Was it good - sweet like corn and polenta? - or nasty? <br /><br />Katiez, that's how we eat them, too. I keep a bowl of red and a bowl of gold on the kitchen counter for popping. So delicious!Zoomiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16474153316588551039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5732224038883472327.post-242111610163019922011-09-03T11:49:46.826-07:002011-09-03T11:49:46.826-07:00I froze lots of them, whole, in baggies, for use o...I froze lots of them, whole, in baggies, for use over the winter.

I remember hearing about "corn meal mush," but I'm sure I've never tasted it. I'm sure it's just a hot cereal (not my favorite kind of food) but it's funny that the word "mush" isn't used any more.Zoomiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16474153316588551039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5732224038883472327.post-56795419565320249572011-09-02T17:57:47.600-07:002011-09-02T17:57:47.600-07:00Tomatoes are the one thing that goes into the mout...Tomatoes are the one thing that goes into the mouth as soon as I get the bag home from the Farmer's Market. Actually, I have worked hard to not overbuy, having thrown many good vegetables into the compost heap. Now, I make vegetables a la grecque as soon as I realize that those gorgeous green beans, mushrooms, etc are going to be moldy mush before I'm hungry enough to eat them:<br />http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/vegetables-a-la-grecque<br />Speaking of mush - I've written to the Albers web site to see if I can find out more about Carnation Mush. I found a photo of boxes on e-bay which indicate that the mush could have been wheat or oats as well as corn.Nancy Ewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12116290968007398337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5732224038883472327.post-10250696366922649692011-09-02T15:38:12.865-07:002011-09-02T15:38:12.865-07:00So sweet like candy.So sweet like candy.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08255032914854206547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5732224038883472327.post-22507514900191663642011-09-02T14:53:33.531-07:002011-09-02T14:53:33.531-07:00Oh!
