Corn pones have been a staple of Southern U.S. cuisine, and have been discussed by many American writers, including Mark Twain. In the Appalachian Mountains, cornbread cooked in a round iron skillet is still referred to as a "pone" of cornbread.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06062457754977337904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-62516950153617018952011-07-20T21:26:33.871-05:002011-07-20T21:26:33.871-05:00Would you like some rain?
