I'm guessing one of the Fun Facts for today is about hush puppies?

...'tis, yes. Today You Learned that absolutely no one knows the origin of the term 'hushpuppy'. Not for sure, anyway.

Look, I thought about this idea and planned to tell you guys what I know. Because I distinctly remember visiting a historic house and them saying that they were something slaves cooked and used to feed to the family's dogs while they served to keep them quiet. I'm pretty sure I'd heard this more than once, too.

But! I decided to research this to be sure, and, uh... turns out no one can agree why they're called that. This website collects a few alternate ideas, including:

-The so-called "most common" (that I'd never heard before) that it was used by fishermen to keep the dogs quiet while fishing.

-Confederate soldiers used it to shut up their dogs so they could hear a Union attack coming.

-That is was used to keep children ("puppies") quiet.

And there are others!

-This website suggests that runaway enslaved men and women used hushpuppies to keep the hunting/guard dogs quiet.

-This Redditor is convinced that it's derived from the Choctaw language, I think?

Yeah. So no one knows. Plenty of people think they know, though.

Hushpuppies are good, though.

I’m ‘bout to buy some boots I don’t need.

I think they’re cute and comfortable so they probably really look dopey and geriatric.

I haven’t worn Hushpuppies since… maybe never.

Also, that drab-ass color turns me on.

And my size is available in wide.

As if it was preordained.

Or the planets aligned.

Or something.

82-2589 - Shoe time

My favourite subjects for an evening sketch after working (and struggling to think of something to draw) are fruit, something from the pantry or shoes. I’ve no doubt sketched this pair of shoes before. They are rather tired old Hush Puppies – the rubber sole fell apart a while back (rubber just disintegrates in this humid climate, after a while), but a handy guy at the market stitched a brand new…

Stews - Cajun Crawfish and Shrimp Étouffe An authentic Louisiana recipe with a rich and spicy fresh tomato based roux with fresh garlic, bell peppers, celery and onions mixed with crawfish and shrimp. A little time consuming but well worth it!! Serve over steamed rice with hushpuppies and/or crackers on the side.

Hushpuppies

Recipe I Used Bonus: Home-made Tartar Sauce

Was It Good? Yes!!! Best hushpuppies I've ever had!

So good! Best best best! The last time I had hushpuppies was when I was a kid, and I remember them being coarser and only so-so. These ones, on the other hand, were delicious. Extremely tasty. It's a good thing frying is such a hassle that I only do it rarely. Otherwise I'd be making these all the time. Chopped onions and jalapeños were suggested extras, and they are definitely part of what takes this recipe to the next level.

What if we pronounced the 'u's in 'hushpuppy' the way we pronounce 'oo'?

Grilled Redfish Salad. Flying Burger & Seafood. Caddo Valley, Arkansas. 6.7.2023.

NOTE TO SELF: This is a salad made by people who don't eat salads -- giant leaves that need to be chopped, too many craisins, hushpuppies for some damn reason, dry cucumber slices. If I come back here it will be for a burger fix.
