Cornbread
American bread made from cornmeal
Cornbread or Johnny cake is a name for any number of "quick breads"- bread leavened chemically instead of by yeast- which has cornmeal. As maize (also known as corn) is native to North America, the various kinds of cornbreads are more prevalent there. For example the Cuisine of the Southern United States includes "cornpone". In Italy, the corn-based mush known as polenta is sometimes fashioned into a fried form resembling cornbread.
