ADDED SAUSAGE TO "MOM" MUSH RECIPE ENJOY DAN:

FRIED CORNMEAL MUSH by BERNICE KORESKI SAUL (OUR MOM)

Cooked in a loaf pan that had been greased with butter or lard. During the Second World War butter came in a plastic bag and it was white. You had to squeeze it to mix the color of yellow into it so it looked like butter. The four Saul kids use to look forward to this growing up in the 40’s.

Sister Beth remembers “mom” adding sausage, like one pound and fried in a sauce pan and then drained.
