Every day I get at least one email, often more, from Betty Crocker or Pillsbury or Kraft or somebody like that because I am signed up for all kinds of emailings that relate to food and cooking. This morning I got one from Mr. Food that included pictures of corn muffins and cornbread. They looked so good, it made me want some. I have resolved that our supper tonight will include cornbread and, unless vetoed by my partner, probably also beans and franks.
Or, more accurately, beans and corn dogs; that is, the version of the latter that my mother invented which involves baking hot dogs embedded in the cornbread batter.
Just out of curiosity, I Googled "what goes with cornbread" and was led to several Internet food forums where somebody asked that same question, to which the ubiquitous answer was: everything. That presented a challenge I could not pass up, and after serious contemplation, I am able to provide the definitive answer to the opposite question:
What does not go with cornbread? Dumplings.
