It has been told that the hushpuppy was originally developed in the early 1700s by the Ursuline nuns. The nuns had converted some cornmeal, given to them by Native Americans, into a scrumptious fritter called croquettes de maise. An old Creole cook was frying some catfish and croquettes in a cast iron skillet when the name hushpuppy came about. The cook’s dogs would whine in anticipation for a chance to consume some of the catfish. The inventive cook would instead throw a few croquettes de maise to the dogs and say, "Hush, puppies!" Ever since, the cornmeal delight has been associated with that name.
