Yet another data point for corn bread...

My grandmother, who was born into the Park clan of Monroe County, KY,
which is on the TN border where the Cumberland River flows south through
the "Barrens". Her cornbread was made in a skillet with yellow corn
meal, mixed with lard originally and then Crisco, and was lightly
sweetened with sugar.
