New and improved Cornbread cooking and delivery project. To meet the world wide demand for American cornbread I propose a revival of the nuclear powered aircraft project. It would have the capacity to keep the cornbread warm,and also coffee. The plane would use lighter more modern construction materials, it would be built by a sole source non-union contractor and performance penalties would no done by "Bubba" in his cell. There would be cup holders for the crew, and cold beer. Putting America back to work making corn bread.

I like corn bread. Had it all the time when I was kid. However, my Lovely Bride won't allow the addition of bacon drippings to the basic receipe. Not as good as what my mother used to make.

Always wondered if the presence of a bacon drippings can by the stove was a hold-over from WWII. Then, people would collect and turn in bacon grease from which would be collected nitrates that were used in the manufacture of explosives.
People of my parents' generation did that. The health paranoids of my generation retract in horror at the mention of bacon grease.
Sure did make the corn bread taste good, though.

Lard, i.e., bacon grease, has the same number of calories as butter, but only one third the cholesterol, and three times the flavor.
My in-laws have learned not to ask what goes in my recipes. Sometimes I tell them. -

Growing up in a reservation town in Oklahoma,, the cafeteria was "manned" by women from the Kickapoo reservation. They proudly made "squawbread" which had whole kernals of corn and who knows what else. It was out of this world. To this day I wake up craving the stuff. I'll bet they still call it "squawbread", they never stopped being "Indians" back when the PC folks renamed them in the 90's. -Anymouse

Using bacon grease goes way back. You'd throw the bacon into the skillet first, if you didn't have any saved, then add your eggs for bacon and eggs. When you went camp and fish you'd take some bacon and corn meal along. You'd catch clean and filet your fish. Then you'd cook up some bacon. Then you'd take a paper sack, add in some corn meal and cruble in some bacon. Shake the sack up until the fish became coated in corn meal. Then fry the fish. "Twas the rich folk that used to buy the canned and processed lard for cooking. The depression era people saved those bacon dirppings religiously. They had these little metal cans with a perorated filter and a cap to filter and store the drippings. I can remember one old Okie complaining about Jack Kennedy when he jawboned the steel companies into rolling back the steel prices. The Old guy said,"Oh just great. He gets upset when steel goes for an extra $0.69 per ton but says nought when bacon increases by $0.69 a pound."

There is still some hope for the country.
Last time I checked you could still buy those aluminum grease pots with the preforated filter for under 5 bucks at Walmart. A better model costs a few bucks more.
Amazon carries them also. -

I watched a 'Diners, dives & drivein's' episode where the diner featured claim to fame was 60 yr old grease. Along with adding some daily, it's assumed there's still old stuff in the barrel, and they're known for there delicious burgers, so I guess it doesn't go bad for a looong time.
I've always kept mine in an old metal coffee can.
I still have one that I'll keep, I don't think the plastic one will hold hot grease too well. -
