He recommended and I had Ho Cakes, Pan Bread, pan fried brown trout with succotash, and bread pudding for dessert. Ho cakes are wonderful / the whole meal was amazing. Now today, my favorite BBQ /food channel does ho cakes, made my day!

    Mr Rollins, I’m from Massachusetts, and Johnnycakes are still made in the traditional way and no yeast was used way back then. Corn meal yellow or white but a finer milled grind, first mixed in hot water to soften the meal, plain flour, a tiny amount of sugar salt and milk. They aren’t cakey like pancakes but delicious with butter, syrup even molasses, honey or jam

    One of my most favorite American heroes is George Washington. Thank you for highlighting him and his favorite breakfast.

    Thank you Kent. And God Bless George Washington! I grew up on fried corn bread which is not exactly the same. But can be served just like your two. I heard that George's meals, spice wise, would make any Mexican's eyes water with the heat. They put the hot Carribean peppers and Hot Hungarian peppers in almost everything from fish to cooked salads.

    I really liked the extra history bits alongside the cooking footage. I'd love to see more of this style in the future.

    Music in the background reminds me of a Elmer Bernstein score......very nice.
