Hey Dave, man i didn't think any body fixed corn meal mush anymore, so i was surprised to see the title . I've been around for awhile be 70 this month, been eating mush since i was knee high to a grass hopper. Like always enjoyed watching and glad to see you pass it on to the younger ones. Easy to make, to cook, to eat, like mine with side pork and maple syrup ,
I love coming back and seeing Rufus in these older videos and just refreshing up my skills
my grandfather would make this but would also throw in the mix the left overs of old sausage or whatever was leftover in the fridge from dinner or breakfast the day before....
thanks for the memory!
Thank you Mr. Canterbury for all of the effort you put into this channel. I learn something from you almost every day.
I enjoy the silence as you make fire...great video DC ....your channel...black scout survival and survival Lilly all are my favorites...keep them coming
Mr. Canterbury, please try using grits in place of corn meal mix. Down south we use grits, a dish of coarsely ground corn kernels boiled with water or milk as hot cereal, or fried covered with molasses. My favorite way of eating fried grits is to add chopped, Spam (easy to pack) into the Grits, chill and fry in bacon grease. For breakfast a slice of fried grits & Spam with an over-easy egg on the side, you just can’t beat that on a cold snowy morning.
Great video. I love your sincerity in what you are doing. I am also impressed how you maintain that sincerity, yet still push your brand as hard as you can. I am pulling for you Dave, I wish you all the success in the world.
Enjoying the cool weather I see! Always a pleasure Dave and thanks for the information on the fork. Nice piece of gear.
One of the most lovely D-C-videos, with such a quiet start and a tasty dish at the end. ATB, Gereon
Dave, mush used to be a breakfast regular at my Granny's house. You can eat the mush hot as a grule and then fry up the leftovers later. All she used was corn meal, pinch of salt, brown sugar and milk. Cook it till it thickened. And yum yum.... She would fry up the leftovers later.... if there was any... It goes great with eggs and bacon. Keep the videos coming....
Food of the Gods, Dave! Grew up on fried corn meal mush. Great video!
Awesome food tip. Thank you for all you do!
I just love mush! Nothing better for breakfast in the woods with some sausages and scrambled eggs!
LOVE how you share with the dog! Thanks for the recipe
corn meal mush looks great love your dog great video.
Dave, thanks for demonstrating how easy it is to cook GREAT, TASTY meals in the field.
I believe that even I can do it...and I intend to. In every video, I either learn something new, or am reminded of something I knew as a kid, but had forgotten. So, thanks too, for sparking some of my best memories! :) -tom
love these videos. I will definitely be trying these recipes very soon.
Dave I've watched your videos for years, but watching you cook is extremely awesome. keep it up I can watch the same videos for hours much better than cooperate TV.
When I was little, during and way after WWII, we had corn meal mush often. And, as you cited, put it in a bred pan, refrigerated it, then fried up slices. It is especially good with maple syrup. If it’s made with beef broth, and with bits of roast beef mixed in, it has an even richer flavor, and is called scrapple. JARVIS good eatin!

Man i love these outdoor food video's they are so cool, the way you can make stuff in the wild without using much stuff, so badass
Thanks Dave for another good video. I really enjoy your know how and follow you on a regular basis because you and I are from the same neck of the woods, southern Ohio. I trust everything you teach and hope some day to be able to go to your pathfinder school.
I was glad to see a bushcrafter cooking something that has been a staple in our home for over 50 years.
You cannot beat fried cornmeal mush, especially in the fall and winter. I like mine with maple syrup but have eaten it with honey as well. I want to wish you well and keep up the good work. Much respect.
Looked great! Thanks for the show!
i remember being in southern indiana deer hunting and having corn meal mush, persimmons off the ground, coffee, and bacon every morning before hunting and it does keep you full for quite a while.
Dave, greetings from the uk!
I love all your vids and I have both your books, I've learned absolutely loads from watching and reading. And you also inspired me to get into the traditional side of things. You've earned yourself another subscriber!

Thank you. Great video.
Awesome videos!
This brings back memories i was raised on this stuff. Squirrel, groundhog and cornmeal mush was stsples along with pintobeans and cornbread.
Both my grandmas made a version of this. Only they used the broth and bits of meat and fat left over from boiling a pork roast mixed with the cornmeal. The hot broth does the precook. This mixture was placed in a loaf pan and refrigerated till set. Then sliced and fried. They called it scrapple. You ate it with syrup or honey as Dave said.
You Rock Dave !
I will definitely try this one!
My grandmother used to make something similar with "Irish" steel cut oats. She'd make oatmeal one day with raisins & then refrigerate the leftovers and fry it for breakfast in meat drippings from dinner the night before. Usually it was topped with maple syrup.
Man, I shouldn't watch cooking videos when there is still an hour before supper is ready.
Thanks to Dave, I was able to narrow the time period of the Revenant down to the right decade! (The wiki says it was 1823. Do they ever tell you in the movie). I'd never read the novel/ historical account of Hugh Glass. Not sure if my date was impressed by my awareness of tumplines and market wallets, lol....
right on looks good going to try this
Interesting fork and striker. I might see if I can make one soon for my bag. Btw, the mush looked good too!
dave, very nice video. keep em coming. I am planning to come to a blacksmithing class this year.
Looks might fine. Thanks for sharing...
Looks good
in Scotland in the we would do something similar with porridge
it would be poured into a lined drawer to set, traditionaly fried with bacon also a " piece" would be cut to be taken as food for the work day
to this day in Scotland lunch break is called " Piece time "
Always good stuff thanks
The recipe we use for mush is, roughly
3 cups water,
1 cup cornmeal (we use white corn meal but yellow is fine too, it just changes the color. To be honest I don't know why we always use white...)
and a little salt 1/2 a tsp give or take.
Boil the water, add the cornmeal and salt. reduce heat, and cook stirring constantly until it is thick, then pour it into the mold, cool it over night. Then fry it (bacon grease is great) until crispy, then top with syrup/honey.
So basicaly it is exactly like you did except you don't have to buy pre-packaged corn bread mix, and it is a little more simple. My father-in-law likes to add a cup of sugar to the mix, but I think it makes it too sweet.
Yep, it's like polenta!
Thanks,
Clark
i liked it lol its not always a survival situation its fun to just be out in the woods having some good food while doing it
Oh man I forgot all about those my Mom used to make’m when we were at camp heck yeah
Oh man, that looks good! Great video Dave!
Abrahm
I've learned so much from you over the last few years about survival, maintaining tools and homesteading. Your knowledge and love for the great outdoors is awesome and inspiring. Thank you (and Rufus!)
Been eating this since I was a kid. LOVE IT. Never ate it without bacon though. Great video.
Back in the day way up north the people used to make hushpuppies kinda the same way. To feed their dogs if they ran out of normal food for them. The corn wasn't very nutritious but it filled the belly and kept the pains of hunger at bay for awhile.
That right there is a childhood favorite, I haven't had what we called fried mush in a long time.
That did look rather tasty! Especially toped with honey. Enjoying this series. Also looking forward to production of your fork/striker.
You can do the same thing with grits. Put left over grits in a loaf pan, refrigerate, cut into 1" slices and fry. And, yes, Its also called polenta down here in South Carolina.
Dave
The best way to avoid burning oil over direct heat source, is to add oil after the pan has been heated. And besides there are way more than enough things to worry about other than adding burning cooking oil to the list. Cheers!
try this one Dave. I have made by cooking the cornmeal in a pot with water, salt and sugar. making it thick. fry your bacon and mix the bacon grease in the meal. then let it firm up in a cool place. This does away with the need for added grease. this is good on a cold morning
My grandma used to make it with sage sausage in the mush was the best for breakfast
chef dave... when is a cooking book going to be out ? cant wait !!
looks delicious!.
we make sloosh quite often around here, . make'n some this evening actually.
great videos sir
Hi Dave I do something similar with home made polenta, which is nothing more than cornmeal in boiling water stirred until the much is the right consistency. It can be eaten like that or chilled and sliced like you did.
good stuff dave, i hope i get one of the forks before they are gone...............
Your puppy eats like a king good sir!
Your dog seems to like you cooking :)
Thanks for sharing - Martin
Don't know if anyone's said this before, but I've watched all of these "cooking" videos, and it seems to me, that the consistent theme is that everything relies on "Bisquick", Uncle ben's rice, etc. all these pre-made/ ready-made made walmart/dollar store food products. As an easy, ready to go type camp food, I totally get it, but from as "self reliance" point of view, in the absence of walmarts and dollar stores, none of these recipes are options. I'd appreciate more cooking videos based on true staple foods . You did hard tack a few years ago, that was good, and bannock would be a good one as well. Just a suggestion anyway.
+Grow Your Food I have 2 comments for ya brother, 1. If you cant get bisquick, flour wont be easy to come by either, 2, most of this stuff is easily adapted to a Cornbread recipe with raw ingredients like I did with the Cat head bisquits- Don't be fooled to think that when things go bad staples will be available and packaged food wont, it will probably be the opposite to be honest and unless you own a grain mill, you better learn to use whatever you can find-
+Grow Your Food Everything is not about SURVIVAL some things are about simple pleasures in the Woods?
+wildernessoutfitters that's exactly what I think about it.
+wildernessoutfitters are you the Dave Canterbury from dual survival and what weapon that you have should I find and use when I'm camping or surviving
+wildernessoutfitters Dave, I think both you and Grow Your Food are right. I understand your point but as He/She and many more people I would love to see a few cooking videos based on natural resources found in the woods combined or not with some store ingredients like flour, rice etc. Please consider to make some videos with this subject ! Thank You
The corn mush that was a staple of Appalachia for a very long time is made with 1 cup of corn meal mixed with 1 cup of cold water. Let that soak while you bring two cups of water to a boil. Add the corn slurry to the boiling water, then on medium or low heat, simmer and stir often until the corn feels/tastes tender. You can make a double batch, eat as a porridge in the morning, then fry the remainder for dinner. I've experimented quite a bit with mush. Store bought corn meal works well, ground popcorn works well, but the cheap field corn (I used washed and dried feed corn) actually gels the best. I think it's because there's more starch in it. I like mine fried and served with stew, chili, beans, etc. I've also tried meal made from rice, it gels ok, but is about as bland as water.
Thanks for doing it in cast iron! Most people on YT doing polenta or fried corn meal mush are using non-stick cookware!
great video Mr Canterbury. just wandering where I can get collapsible deadfall traps?
if it's Rufus approved its good enough for me ") Thanks for the video brother ~JC
+The Great Lakes Piper any idea what breed he is?
Looks like a lab mix...my last dog was a chocolate lab that was very similar especially in temperament! Man's best friend and a big baby at the same time...lol
You should do a mashup with the Hickok45 channel. You guys can talk 19th century firearms and bushcrafting.
nice video..
no mater how you make or buy it or if its allready made i think it is still really cool you dont need a holelot of food or just get stuff that is easy but i love waching your videos you should make more i in joy it matter of fact i even tryed the mountain man breakfast my self just like you showed in the video and it was really good me and my kid and girlfriend loved it we hade it over a fier and everything so I THANK YOU FOR ALL THESE VIDEOS!!!!!
there's alot to be learned just by watching .love your stuff .keep the videos coming . do you stay in touch with duel survival cody ?
I learned something from this video. My mom always served it as a hot cereal. I will have to try this .
Thank you for the video, sir. My stomach's growling for corn meal mush, now :).
Can I ask what bird call that is starting at about 5:10 on the video. I head the bluejay earlier. It good to hear those calls. Its pretty quiet in the Canadian woods this time of year.
Thanks again!
I feel like these videos should be called cooking with Rufus.
Thanks for a great video
Could you try slinging or maybe talk about it because I've been slinging for a while now and it seems like a great way to hunt
It's easy to make and maintain than bows it can be made from any piece of cordage or even a long strip of cloth in a pinch
Ammo can be round rocks or made from clay or lead so easily found on the move
And very easy to carry every day
It's great stuff, my mother made if for us. We ate it with butter and pancake syrup.
You can brown up some crumbled sausage, chopped onion, jalapenos, then mix it in with the mush before it chills. You can even add dried fuit and nuts. Make it your own.
Going bk home to northern ky soon brother, id love to meet you sometime. We could fish, we could talk about our military experiences, or we could just grab a bite to eat. Love everything you do man, chin up and head down
yum ,yum yum...good idea.
Hi Dave, have you ever had Goetta? Its a mush made of pin-head oats and ground meat/sausage and its sliced and pan fried in a similar manner. Being in southern Ohio, I'd expect it would be available in local supermarkets and is especially easy to find in Cincinnati.
I like your videos. Where are they filmed? Its pretty there
Great video as always. You do know that if you keep feeding Rufus he is just going to keep hanging around.
+Bill Fisher Is that a bad thing?
+JCrook1028 Yep! I want him, he is a manly dog. All I have is 2 Rat Terriers. No just kidding, I wouldn't take anything for the dogs I have and I am sure that Rufus is a very large part of Dave's family.
My bees are ready to go for spring! :)
Great video Dave. I know this is one of your older projects but would the wood workers bench you built support a 250 pound guy? If it were 6 feet long would it still support that weight?
that looks guuuuuud!
A little off topic here, how about a discussion on base layer clothing, type, comfort, wear and longevity. Thanks.
i would like to think that if people back the day had access to the foods we have today they would have use some of them...to save time on the trail or longer term food storage for winter months
Have you ever tried it with maple syrup? Thats always been my favorite.
Now that's a good breakfast, thanks. 👌🤠👍
Dave what belt knife do you carry the most.
Dave what's the long arm leaning against the tree? Looks maybe like a lever action single shot slug gun?
We used to eat it for dinner hot and liquid with brown sugar and milk. Then cool overnight and fry like Dave does.
So when should we check the website to buy one of those forks?
Cute dog :3
Two trikes of the flint and steel, I was impressed... normally ya see them guys wack at it a few times, even with the char cloth.
how do i get on the list to get one of the forks? I see it isn't on there yet and you said only about 20 .... don't want to miss this one
What kind of pan is that? I would like to purchase one
That is one happy dog
Have you ever made ancient Greek honey cakes? Pound of flour pound of eggs pound of honey pound of either cheese or olive oil or butter. 350 °F some salt and raisins to taste and wrap in muslin soaked in strong wine or must....delicious and will last for up to 15 years in a closed tin. Its what the argonauts took on their long voyages in the Agean in prehistoric times. Yum Yum! Sure better than hardtack or dried food or MREs.
I like that spoon. Did you carve that one?
Thats right on
Any word on if that fork would double as a good frog gig?
if you don't precook the batter, you can make cajun style cush cush.
