Jonnycake

Jonnycakes are thin flatbreads made of cornmeal, salt, and water. They originated in Rhode Island during the colonial days and were called "journey cakes" at the time, because people found them easy to pack when traveling long distances. That's probably where the name "jonnycake" comes from, since New Englanders can't pronounce the "r" in the middle of a word.

Don't come between Rhode Islanders and their jonnycakes. Every year they have baking and eating contests.

And all this is making me hungry. I'd love to have a couple of jonnycakes for breakfast every now and then.
