Definitions
Cornbread is a beloved American staple baked from cornmeal, with deep roots in Southern and Indigenous American food traditions. Dense, golden, and slightly sweet or savoury depending on regional style, it's a fixture at soul food tables, chili cookoffs, and Thanksgiving spreads from Texas to Tennessee. Beyond the food, 'cornbread' has taken on cultural resonance as a symbol of Southern identity and comfort. The word can evoke nostalgia, pride, and the smell of cast-iron skillets seasoned with decades of use.
