samp
Coarse maize mush
Samp is coarsely ground dried corn, a staple food with Native American origins still eaten in parts of the American South and in southern Africa.
The kernels are typically boiled into a porridge or cooked with beans: We had samp and beans for supper.
The word comes from Narragansett.
