New Podcast Posting: Johnnycake Breakfasts as a Rhode Island Tradition

The earliest American settlers discovered corn and were taught by Natives how to grow, grind and cook this then unfamiliar grain.

Paul Drumm from the Kenyon Corn Meal Company of Usquepaugh, RI spoke with us about the legend of Johnnycake and their role in the Bay State - for example this year marks the 140th annual Johnnycake Breakfast at one Rhode Island church.

By the way, courtesy of Paul at the Kenyon Corn Meal Co., there is also “The 6 Minute Secret for Quick-As-Mix Johnnycakes”.

The recipe and the interview can be found at our companion site:
