The Jonnycake (or Johnny Cake, Journey Cake) was a cornmeal cake made from RI flint corn, ground and mixed with heavy cream, then cooked on a cedar slab by a cookfire.

Some of the first acts of rebellion against British economic tyranny (i.e., England was actually trying to collect the taxes and duties due on shipped goods) were performed in RI: the launch boat from a British naval ship was dragged onto the town common and burned in Newport, the tax ship Gaspee was taken and burned in Warwick, Customs and duties records were burned in Newport, etc.
