Cookbook talk:Sweet Cornbread

From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection

I was going to tag this with Category:Desserts but it doesn't look like one. Anybody have more info? Kellen 9 July 2005 07:34 (UTC)

Technically this is a snackfood most of the time, as the bottom of the piece says. It's sweet enough to be considered a real dessert cake - where as normal cornbread is generally not sweet. Nmontague 23:19, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

Cornbread of any sort is considered a Quick Bread. The techniques used for cornbread are vastly different than those for cake, regardless of how sweet the finished product is.LittleRedVixen 19:42, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Did I misread the description? Is this recipe's presence in _canada_ because of the influx of loyalists? I changed it to read that the presence in the southern states was because of loyalists, but reading it again, this seems wrong. Kellen ^T

It's in Canada because the Loyalists fled the wrath of the Revolutionaries, they came to Canada because Quebec didn't revolt. So it came from Southern Loyalists, as the tale goes, and became part of the Ontario culinary palette. Nmontague (talk) 11:30, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
