Hushpuppies are served in lots of southern places before meals.

In 48 years of eating in Southern places I've never been served a
hushpuppy before a meal.
I'm interested...Where are these places?

Bubba

Hi Bubba! I live in Raleigh, NC--still southern by some standards,
but if you are in the Mississippi delta I imagine not. 😉

Every Mom and Pop seafood house between here and the actual coast
serves a basket of hush puppies before the meal. Captain Stanley's,
in Garner NC had the best, but they have gone out of business.

There is also a very old place in Raleigh called 42nd Street Oyster
Bar (it was there during the Great Depression and is still there but
has been made "upscale'😉 that serves a basket of hush puppies
with a ramekin of whipped butter for dipping. 🙂 It's the
bypass-before-you're-fifty special.

Now then, whereabouts are you?

Hello RFC. Please forgive the intrusion. The person you are reading,
"Mary", didn't get her way about a cat, so she's doing her best to troll the
rpca group. Please, if you see any posts from her, ignore them and killfile
her. It'll [censored] her off and she'll throw a tantrum in her own cat group,
rpch&b.

Thanks to all who want peace...

Interesting. I have often seen hushpuppies served as a side dish with
a meal, but not served as an appetizer before a meal. I have lived in
Alabama (only as a young child), Tennessee, and Kentucky. In this
part of the south, you are more likely to be served a basket with
bread of some sort (yeast rolls, biscuits (what the English call
scones), or cornbread muffins) as an appetizer. A lot of restaurants
serve whatever you are drinking ahead of the meal, but no other form
of appetizer.

I looked around on the web and it seems some New Orleans restaurants also
serve hushpuppies as appetizers. There is a defininte correlation between
seafood and hushpuppies--but also, Carolina Barbecue places serve them
as an appetizer, too. Of course, there are lots of combination seafood and
barbecue places that serve hushpuppies as an appetizer. As an aside, I think
the thing that makes hushpuppies better than regular corn bread is the
onions
in them. Actually I am assuming there are onions--I think that is what the
flavor
is. But I have never made hushpuppies at home, though I have fried up many
a platter of catfish and oysters. Are you in Kentucky now, John? If so, I
have
a question for you.

John, please snip the crossposting if you want to reply. Or reply on the
other groups and snip this one. Please!

Must you be such a controlling killjoy?

I whored myself out alot in fine dining through H.S.
3-5 star dining, and we served muffins!
sweet muffins, If I failed to put a muffin
on a plate before anything else, I had to deal with chef.
You don't wanna deal with chef (least not till the munchies set in)

Incidently, do you know the muffin man?
That lives on Drewery Ln?
just curious

Hush puppies are good, but they are greasy.
In a good kind of way. lol
