corn-pone
Fried maize bread
Corn-pone is cornbread made without milk or eggs, a staple of Southern American cooking.
As an adjective, it describes something unsophisticated or folksy in a rural Southern way, often with condescending overtones: corn-pone humor, corn-pone politics.
The implication is of appealing to simple tastes or affecting down-home authenticity.
