Indian Meal Mush

A popular and substantial article of American food, prepared like the Irish stirabout or Scotch porridge. It requires longer boiling and more careful mixing than oatmeal. The meal should be mixed with boiling water or milk gradually, and stirred rapidly between each handful to prevent it from lumping. It requires long boiling, and when boiled is served with salt, sugar, and milk separately; or it may be put into a well-buttered basin and served, turned out, while still warm.
