I followed them when they were making videos and when it came to an abrupt end,, I have wished for years now they would come back,,,,,, I keep hoping...
I made this just the other night. I can't believe people don't know what this is. In Europe, it's called polenta which can be eaten as a mush on the side or fried up but not breaded, just fried when cold and solid. In the midwest, it's cornmeal mush. I don't put nearly as much water in the cornmeal, just enough so it looks like wet sand and it doesn't clump at all when added to the hot water. A lot of people eat it with maple syrup as a breakfast cereal, but a Swiss woman I know fed it to her kids with a chunk of cream cheese. Delicious! Nutritionally, in hard times, or just when you want a simple meal, you could get a lot of nutrition from the mush, a little salt, some fat of some kind (butter, bacon grease), nettle or dandelion greens, and an egg or some protein. That's a whole meal right there.
Thank you making this video! I really got a lot out of watching you go from point A to point Z. It's SO helpful to see what every step of the process looks like. (And you guys come across as so friendly too!!!)
My grandmother, who was at least half Indian, raised eight kids on cornbread , grits, and cornmeal gravey. I think they had eggs year around and summer vegetables, and hominy grits . Misty we would love to see what your doing. Start a new channel and come back to us.
Cornmeal mush is also really tasty fried...that's how my Dad loved it best and I still do too...just something about that flavor...we used to fry it in lard or bacon fat...yall are so lucky to have hogs and to save the lard and jowl meat for seasoning too...a lot of work I'm sure...but, there is nothing better than your own food, because you know where it came from and how it was raised. I love watching yall and I love the simple living so much...it's beautiful.
Thank you so much for your skill and knowledge . Your so very interesting to see cooking the old fashion way . I would love to sit down at your dinner table . GOD BLESS ❤️
I grew up with fried mush. Or also called scrapple. We would boil hog neck in a lot of water, debone then add the cornmeal. Put in loaf pans chill till firm and fry in oil. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.
We grew up on fried mush too...but traditional cornmeal mush is just made with cornmeal...scrapple is made traditionally from the hog head and then seasonings and corn meal added to it...but they are both very different. I hope this helps...I grew up on both too.😊
I agree. Misty is an incredible lady. She helped so many folks with these videos. I would give anything if she would come back on TH-cam and start a channel. I had the opportunity to ask her about starting back on TH-cam and she has absolutely no interest. It really is a shame, but on the good side, she seems so happy and healthy now.
We just purchased our small homestead (2.3 acres) and just moving in this week. we'll be putting in our stove right quick for cooking and come winter and of course heat for our small place. I'll be trying lots of your recipes . We are very excited! Thank you misty and family. love your videos! God bless you all.
Where do people find land that is affordable now. seems everything is bought up or not affordable...Where is this community they speak of? Anyone know?
Gourmet's call this polenta. Butter each grid slice---delicious! The rich and famous would never eat cornmeal mush but a nice $10 roll of polenta, fried in round discs---o problem!
My Nan used to make this with sausages and onion gravy. We'd always leave it till last so we can mop up the remaining gravy with the corn...drat now I've made myself hungry :)
I love grits so am anxious to try this corn meal mush - happy you are sharing your knowledge with us - they told about the soup lines in the city during the depression - they said the soup was rotten alot but they were hungry so the ate it anyway
my mom used to make this for us, , and the fried mush too,, the only different is she put her corn meal in dry ,, slowly ,, i have tried to make it but could not because i always got bad clumping,, i love cornmeal mush ,,so ,, glad to see your video on how to eliminate the clumps, will be trying this ,, i can make some mean cornmeal gravy thou,, loved this video.
This is the same as making farina. To skip a step,add cold water to the pot,then add your corn-meal or farina directly to the cold water in the pot. Keep fire on medium and continue stirring till water begins to boil,turn heat down to simmer and add salt and butter ,stir and cover, Stir and check it till done
Misty, where are you girl? We miss your videos. I'm looking for a REALY OLD recipe for WATERMELON RINE PRESERVES. like my grandmother and mother used. Come back and help me out. 😚. Thanks
Wow that looks like something I make. You boil some pork with fat on it until it is falling apart just put in salt and black pepper. When it done add in white corn meal and cook it until it gets kind of thick. Put it in bread pans and you do not need to grease. Let it set. Dump it out and slice it and fry it until it golden brown. You can eat it with eggs or just some syrup. It may sound plain but it is delicious.
i was raised eating fried mush.... the best..... my mom never dipped it in flour before.... and she used polenta... very fine corn meal.... ty for showing this...
I make something like this but thicker and I don't put no sugar I drop it in some hot grease or bacon grease and fry it until it's crunchy. It is delicious with fried eggs.
Thank you. For the information. Even though in my area we can not get that corn It's getting hard to eat healthy. And it's no wonder we are sick. I'm in S .Texas. God Bless you all always. Please keep sharing. 🙏🙏🙏
I used to make this alot for breakfast when my kids were little, 30 and 40 years ago. We would eat it with maple syrup on it. I actually did grind my own flour and corn meal. I don't think I have the energy to turn a crank anymore. I do wish you wouldn't use margarine so much. That stuff is really bad for you. I will choose lard or butter any time I cook. Thanks for this video. I reminded me of how much I liked fried mush and I must make it again.
gingergargoyle I don’t know anything about the husband, but Misty lost a bunch of weight and left the simply ways. She looks amazing, now. I think she moved out west and is happily single.
why on Earth of these people living like this are they Amish the woman looks like a man with a dress on and why is she missing an eyebrow?! Butt-ugly unattractive people
@@Brie7362 what are you talkin about how do you know these people and why did she live leave this lifestyle what about her children? The man in the video is her husband what are you talkin about you must be joking... She doesn't look ugly here so what do you how do you know her?! What about the children
Ana Parada she’s on other TH-cam channels now. One of them was Doug and Stacy homestead. She’s blonde, wears make up, thin and absolutely beautiful. She is extremely happy, NOW.
Corn meal mush was what the Confederate soldiers often ate.. Sometimes they just had raw corn to eat. Sometimes they had nothing to eat for days. General Lee surrendered because he knew his men were starving, although none of them wanted to surrender.
In Europe, a grain of wheat or any seed crop was called a corn. Maize was misnamed in America because it had so many seeds, corns. I used to raise pigs. We ate the same corn as the pigs😂. It was the only food I bought for them as I maintained a large garden for them, the ducks, and ourselves. We were raising pigs with no steroids, no anti biotics, or any commercial feeds with crap you don't want. I knew the farmer and the farm where my pig corn came from. Sadly the owner of the property died. I took care of his milk cows and Clydesdales for use of twenty acres. He sold fresh non pasteurized milk to local people.We were close to being able to buy the twenty acres but not close enough when Bob died.
Good vid. I have 8 row corn or hickory cane should work shouldn't it? 👍 By the way I'm in the hills of Tennessee also. Throw a slab of stricked meat and that's a dang good meal
Fry hamburger and add your favorite taco flavoring or salsa, then spoon it over your fried corn meal and top with cheese and lettuce. You'll love it. Oh and you can add sour cream too.
Amazing survival lessons and wake up to our food supply and health. Two ears of non-GMO field corn was turned into edible breakfast food superior to our junk food, candy-like cereals to which we have become addicted. I believe what Misty was serving was a bite of a reality sandwich.
Bryce Machleit Julia and Susan.... Misty Prepper didn't sucker anyone, she just disappeared. She provided lots of TH-cam videos and could have earned a nice income doing that. I think she changed her religion as she went from some sort of Menonite clothing back to Tennessee country cutie. She made some down home meals that were interesting to watch her prepare. Deer pizza? Homemade velveeta? Those are just some I recall.
Ohh ok I just thought something happened you know I personally really loved her and what was she was doing and a year ago I was looking for some videos from Misty and I wasn't subscribed.she was just gone and I miss her. Thank you for your reply and to notify me.
Hazel Osborne. I was a huge fan of Misty Prepper and her family. I have been praying for her since she dropped out of sight. I know she dropped off a year ago at Doug And Staceys place and said she was going to Oregon to homestead there. Please just let me know that she is all right. I took it a family member was sick by what she said about healthcare in Tennessee. Again not trying to be nosy just concerned for her and her familys health.
Bryce Machleit she got out!!! Thankfully. ❤️❤️. I prayed for her to find mental sanity and stability to get away from this cult. She was in a video with OFF THE GRID looking normal and happy and healthy. 😘😘
I never turn someone that visits me away without feeding them, the bible says we might be entertaing angels without us knowing. Also, the bible says Throw your bread upon the waters, after many days you will find it. That means, that if we feed people, someday we might find ourselves in a situation where we might not have the means to buy food and face hunger, but that bread that we threw into the water will fed us. Waters mean a lot of people, if we are hospitable someone when the need arises someone will feed us.
All modern corn that has that big of a cob is a gmo unless it is the original Teosinte grain whose cob was maybe less than an inch long. It was only through humans selective breeding did we get to that large of a cob with that high of yield.
I loved learning from this Amazing Family💖
So sad they aren't making more. Blessings to them!
I followed them when they were making videos and when it came to an abrupt end,, I have wished for years now they would come back,,,,,, I keep hoping...
I agree. I followed them for years, and learned a great deal from them. Very sorrowful for their end. I still pray for them.
@@PilgrimLJC I pray too...

This is Awesome I never seen this before in my whole life, this was very interesting I have to try this and save your video!! Thanks for sharing!!
Miss yalls videos so much.

I love these videos ! I learn so much ! And I like the way you both go step by step ! Thank-You so much
My grate grand mother use to make corn meal dumpplings with boiling ham bone it was really deliouse
My Dad was from West Virginia. He would buy corn meal mush from the store, fry it and put butter and maple syrup on it. Man that was good.
I grew up eating cornbread all meals of the day, including snacks. Possibly the best base food you can get.

Where do people find land that is affordable now. seems everything is bought up or not affordable...Where is this community they speak of? Anyone know?
Dorothy Kelley away from the city. At least 60 miles away is much more affordable
Denise Martinez Good luck and God bless you.
thanks. nice video on the corn . fryed mush is good with syrup. god bless you and your family
I LOVE THIS. I'M SO HAPPY I FOUND THIS CHANNEL AGAIN.
Gourmet's call this polenta. Butter each grid slice---delicious! The rich and famous would never eat cornmeal mush but a nice $10 roll of polenta, fried in round discs---o problem!
Lol aint that the truth. The rich and famous dont really have better stuff - just more expensive stuff
My Nan used to make this with sausages and onion gravy. We'd always leave it till last so we can mop up the remaining gravy with the corn...drat now I've made myself hungry :)
My grandmother used to use pork broth in place of water. It gave it a delicious flavor.
I love grits so am anxious to try this corn meal mush - happy you are sharing your knowledge with us - they told about the soup lines in the city during the depression - they said the soup was rotten alot but they were hungry so the ate it anyway
I have never had this before but I'm anxious to try it. Thank you Misty. : )
Amazing!
GOD IS SOOO GOOD!!!
Thank you!
That is "polenta" but we fry it with olive oil or we cook it with tomatoes sauce. Delicious 👅👅👅
My mother made this for us when I was growing up, and I have made it for my own children. It remains one of my favorite breakfasts.
I like that. Definitely gonna try that. Working on living off the grid within the next 5 years. Thanks for sharing.
In Mexico my mother in law uses the empty cob to burn to cook our corn tortillas. I have learned so much from her.
We had cornmeal mush growing up and it was sliced and fried in butter and served with real maple syrup and some children prefer ketchup

I LOVE fried corn meal mush! Imagine Fritos only thicker with a warm mushy center. Grew up eating it and still do and I'm Ancient now.
i was raised eating fried mush.... the best..... my mom never dipped it in flour before.... and she used polenta... very fine corn meal.... ty for showing this...
Misty your the sheller. Love your videos so educational. TFS.
No one would ever walk away from my home hungry. It might not be a fancy meal, but it'll be healthy and filling!

I Remember my Mamaw making me cornmeal mush that's what she called it !! Something I forgot about over the years and we had it with breakfast
You can also grind your corn extra fine, add salt and water to make a stiff dough, make a patty and fry it to make corn pone. It's really good.
One of her videos give a tour of the town, Cane Creek, Tennessee. Found it on map before.
I remember eating this as a child. Did not know how to make it. Thanks for posting. Will be trying it.
So sweet of you to make these videos. :)
we had this for breakfast when I was a child. we ate it like hot cereal, with milk and sugar or honey. I loved it! Never had it fried though.
In south africa we call it soft porridge, then when it's made to be hard it's called pap. Our stapel food.
Have you ever made corn meal dumplings?? I also had a corn meal stew from a friend from Kenya. It was delicious.
I used to make this alot for breakfast when my kids were little, 30 and 40 years ago. We would eat it with maple syrup on it. I actually did grind my own flour and corn meal.

fried grits are the same as polinta. corn meal mush we called gruel, served with no oil just salt and Lotta pepper, easy to eat if your sick.
Your husband sounds so nice. Whenever I hear of an Amish husband he sounds domineering and stubborn. Your husband comes across as a nice person.❤️
They are not amish.
You can make jelly from corn cobs. It’s actually pretty good.
💜 cornmeal mush w brown sugar or maple syrup😋 tfs
Add a stick and the corn cobs make great back scratchers.
Great idea

how would i dry an ear or two of corn if its been taken off the corn stalk already?
Corn meal mush was what the Confederate soldiers often ate.. Sometimes they just had raw corn to eat. Sometimes they had nothing to eat for days. General Lee surrendered because he knew his men were starving, although none of them wanted to surrender.
Fried mush , biscuits and sausage gravy Was a staple in our home growing up. Mmmmm
My grandmother Neusch made cornmeal mush all the time
I love grits, and cornmeal mush. BUT I also love it fried
If you whisk in the cornmeal in the water it won't clump up.
Our mush was my grandmother taking leftover cornbread and adding warm sweet milk to it and smashing it up in a bowl
In Europe, a grain of wheat or any seed crop was called a corn. Maize was misnamed in America because it had so many seeds, corns.
I used to raise pigs. We ate the same corn as the pigs😂. It was the only food I bought for them as I maintained a large garden for them, the ducks, and ourselves.

I love mush either way. I grew up on it. Kids today do not know what they are missing.
This love this video! I’ve watched it probably 100 times
Grandma and momma loved cornbread crumbled up ice cold milk or buttermilk
I read somewhere that if you eat a lot of corn you need to eat ash which in lots of societies is a sort of dip to some meals.
Hi Misty.....Glad to find this recipe....Thanks.

I eat Corn Meal Mush 3 0r 4 times a month I love it. TY Misty
I believe simple man is mistys husband there is pictures of all of them together
I agree and I believe he has her doing all the work. I've been watching her for yerars and she busts her butt around there.
We ate fried mush as kids. I hated it. But I never ate it fried with flour. It probably is better that way.
that is so awesome, thanks for the video
are there any new vids..or a facebook for them?
Misty had shut her channel down these videos are one salvaged by her Husband ,these are the only videos online
how did you dry your corn on the cob?
My grandfather loved cornmeal mush.
I do the same with my grits and fry it just in butter I don't flour it
Oh I have been wanting a bill for awhile but I don't want an expensive one were you get yours
Skills are the most important thing you can take with you throughout your life, not stuff.
Everybody calls it a wheat berry and I am as far north as you can go
Glad you left him wow you did all the work
That looks good Misty!
