We don't know exactly how much cornbread the colonists eat, but we do know they ate quite a bit. They usually had a surplus of the ingredients needed for cornbread, so they made lots of it. Colonists usually had a lot of cornmeal, flour, and salt to make the cornbread.
Real Southern style cornbread is not sweet because we do not put sugar in it. There is a great cornbread mix at Winn-Dixie Grocery Stores called House Of Autrey. It uses an egg, milk and if you like a little oil or margarine. I have found I can cook 4 small muffins at one time in my sandwich toaster that are great. Also, I cook about 24 at a time and store in the freezer. Good! Try it!
People in the south grew corn as a major crop so they used the corn to make cornbread and other dishes with corn.
