cornmeal mush
Cooked ground maize
Cornmeal mush is a thick porridge made by boiling cornmeal in water or milk until it reaches a soft, creamy consistency.
It's a traditional American dish, especially associated with Southern and Appalachian cooking.
Leftover mush is often chilled until firm, sliced, and fried until crispy: We had fried mush with maple syrup for breakfast.
