Well, I am but.... I LOVE Hush Puppies!

The first recorded use of the word “hushpuppy” dates back to 1899! Back then, hunters and fishermen would fry up a simple corn mixture and feed it to their dogs. The mixture was often leftover from having bread-coated or battered their own food. These easy, cheap treats were known to “hush the puppies”.
