Ode to Mush
Ode to Mush
Oh, glorious mush So crisp and lush With maple topped In syrup sopped Oh, succulent mush My lips doth brush Thy luscious crust My tongue doth thrust Oh, lust for mush My teeth to crush Soft warm inside I’m satisfied. Made the mush on Sat and put in fridge to set. Fried the mush on Sun for breakfast. Fried some bacon first and then fried the mush in the bacon fat. Ate it will maples syrup. That was the absolute best fried mush I have ever had or made!!!! For once I was patient and didn't have the heat too high trying to cook it faster and ending up burning it. Also didn't try to turn it over too soon causing it to fall apart because it wasn't browned enough yet. It was perfectly browned and very crisp on the outside and creamy on the inside and just *delicious*!!!! Maybe part of it is because I haven't made mush in ages - well over 5 years. Things taste better when you haven't had them in a while. I don't know if I can wait until next weekend to eat the rest of it. It was *so* good! Sigh.

Oh, Kate, you did it just right, frying the bacon first so you could fry the mush slices in its fat, and then topping the mush with maple syrup! A combo like that deserved an ode Felice |

I always got my instructions off an Alber's box of yellow corn meal, but can't find one in the pantry now. This is close to how I remember. <http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Corn-Meal-Mush> *but* don't serve it hot. Fill a loaf pan with it and refrigerate it overnight. In the morning, slice into about 1/2 inch thick slabs and fry it in oil over medium heat until it is golden brown on one side. Then flip it and do the same on the other side. Serve with maple syrup. Butter also if you like. I love it and my wife hates it, so I only make it with about the same frequency as Kate. leo |

Where I live now, the nursing home I work in often serves oatmeal in the morning and the staff insist on calling it "mush." "Helen, you want mush?" "You want milk in your mush?" "Don't spill your mush, now." "Careful, you're dribbling your mush." Every time I hear it, I want to scream. It's not "mush." It's not mushy, a la milk-sopped bread, nor is it mooshy like... milk-sopped bread (yes, the home also serves pureed bread which is truly, truly vomit worthy). We're not running the Iditarod. We're not distilling whiskey. We're not offering romantic notions. Mostly, we are not slopping the hogs. It's not "mush." It is oatmeal, the hot cereal. When I am 90 and sitting at a table in a nursing home dining room, the first person to present my food as "mush" has a stiff right coming to them. |

Mush is sort of like polenta. Anyway, the recipe for the mush is on the box of Quaker cornmeal. I think it was 1 c. cornmeal to 4 c. water. First you bring 3 c. water + 1 t. salt to a boil and in the meantime mix 1 c. cornmeal with 1 c. water. When water is boiling stir cornmeal/water in and keep stirring until it thickens. Reduce heat to low and cover and cook about 5 more minutes. When done pour into a loaf pan (bread pan) that is greased with butter or whatnot, or lined with plastic wrap. Chill overnight. Turn out loaf of mush and slice it about 3/8" or more thick. Fry in your choice of fat or oil. You can also eat the mush as a hot cereal but it's much better fried. Best to use a teflon skillet as mush tends to stick. Of course once it's browned sufficiently it shouldn't stick, but if you try to turn it too soon problems arise. It takes a long time to fry and make a good crust. Be patient. Cook on med. low and check after the first 10 minutes. Be sure to use plenty of oil/fat.

BTW, leftover oatmeal, slice and fried, is excellent. Same idea as fried mush. I guess you could even do it on purpose, but I've only ever had it as leftover oatmeal. I'll have to make me up some of that some day. I wonder if it would work with Irish oatmeal?
