That's a great article, Todd. I suppose, based on that article, that my culinary upbringing in Illinois was a bit more Yankee than the Ozarks. For instance, I never had cornbread in a skillet until later in life. But then, my Mom's side of the family is over half German.

The article didn't, however, go into the disagreements (feuds) about cornbread: white vs. yellow cornmeal, sweet vs. not sweet, etc.
