That said, there are certainly still cooks out there who make fantastic historical cornbreads, though the old recipes have often been changed to include modern techniques and ingredients.

The fact that in America bread lasts so long. You buy bread, and then it's bread forever - it's Forever Bread!

I tested a lot of old cornbread recipes and most of them were bland or tough.

Well, I mean, bread, I mean, I've got to have bread too to live.

I don't need the bread, but it's nice to do something creative.

Eaten bread is forgotten.

Acorns were good until bread was found.

I came into music just because I wanted the bread. It's true. I looked around and this seemed like the only way I was going to get the kind of bread I wanted.

You know most of the food that Americans hold so dear - things like hamburgers and hot dogs - were road food, but even before they were road food, they were peasant food.

But since you're asking me, I'll tell you my opinion: all cornbread is authentic, as long as it's good, hot, and made with love and fresh ingredients.
