An ashcake is an alternative name for a johnnycake, a cake popular in the United States made from baked or dried cornmeal flatbread.
People traditionally bundle ashcake and salt herrings together as a practical and cultural practice, particularly in certain coastal and rural communities. The combination offers a convenient, portable meal option that balances the hearty, filling nature of ashcake, made from cornmeal and cooked over an open fire, with the flavorful, preserved salt herring. This pairing reflects local culinary traditions and resourcefulness, as both items are easily prepared and can sustain individuals during fishing trips or while working in the fields. Moreover, it symbolizes a connection to heritage and communal meals.
There were many actions that Harriet Tubman took to prepare for the journey. The first was to choose slaves carefully, have the salves pack ashcake, and choose a clear night for the journey.
