Now I said above that this makes 48 I've never counted so I don't know for sure. But it sure does make a bunch. The main reason why I said 48 is because the program MenuMaster won't let you past that field unless you tell it something. Justin Wilson says Hush puppy is an old Southern term that originated

after the Civil War. People didn't have enough for themselves to eat

let alone feed their dogs, so when the old hounds started barking

from hunger, they would throw pieces of fried corn bread to them,

yelling, 'Shut up, dog! Hush puppy!
