Hush puppies are corn meal fritters. Cornmeal, wheat flour, baking soda, beaten egg, onion, that sort of thing. The old story goes that they were made from what was left over after breading catfish for frying. As the family ate the catfish, the dogs would whine. The men would mix together the leftover catfish breading with the egg they had dipped the catfish into before coating it, and fry of the whole thing up as a treat to quiet the whining dogs. As they fed them, the men would say, "hush puppies." I don't know how true that story is, but it came from a vintage 1940's era wood-covered souvenir cookbook that my mother had when I was a girl.
