@theredneckstoryteller: Bet you don't know the man who made hush puppies famous. 🍽️ Forget the story about tossing cornbread to the dogs, nobody's ever proven it. Meet Romeo Govan of South Carolina, born into slavery in 1843, who built a cooking business feeding big crowds and made fried cornmeal he called red horse bread, named for the redhorse fish. By the 1920s, folks in Georgia were calling it hush puppies. Hush puppies: onion in 'em or no onion? Pick a side. 👇 #redneck #countryboy #southernstories #americana #storytime #hushpuppies #southerncooking
