Not only are you guaranteed to Tike these edible hush puppies, but so is your dog...least ways a lot more than a pair of your smelly shoes. Dottie, proprietress and namesake of the Blue Dot, explains the derivation of the name “hush puppy” in the following fashion: “Back home around Kentucky Lake, hunters would take a pocketful of these cornmeal balls with them on the trail. Whenever the hounds got too noisy, they’d throw ’em one and say, ‘Hush, puppy.’” Aha, it’s all beginning to make sense now.
