Hush puppies, a fried dumpling made from cornmeal, are the best accompaniment for whole hog in The Carolinas. Another great way to use this recipe is to cover hot dog sausages with this mixture and then roll them in cornmeal to make corn dogs, which gives the exterior an amazing crunch. Serve with American pulled pork.
