Como se dice "hush puppy"?
As in the food, not a command to dogs. Is there even a word for it?

On a related note, when I was in Mexico last week I had some cornbread. I thought it would be called "pan de maíz" or something like that, but my Mexican coworker called it something else that I can't remember. He used a word that refers to the corn kernel, since maíz refers to the entire plant.
Can someone clue me in on the Mexican phrase for cornbread?
Asking that question is a little like asking, "How do you say "taco" or "enchilada" in English. jejeje. I doubt if such a thing is consumed in Latin America or Spain anyway.
(I know this is an old, old post, but I felt like putting in my "two centavos' " worth.
In parts of Spanish-speaking countries, English expressions or those close to them are used. Sandwich, donas (doughnuts) "maltie-milk" -in Argentina, and many others.
Para el beneficio de Rey Misterio, he aqui unos "hush puppies" Mmmmmmm. ¡Sabrosísimas!

What's a hush puppy

Oops sorry, hush puppies are made of corn meal, dont know any food like that in spanish. May be polenta frita?
A hush puppy in the US is a ball of corn meal that is deep fried. It´s not made from potatoes.

silencio cachorrito...Lol just kidding
Here in South Louisiana, hushpuppies are quite common (and loved). Basically they are balls of sweet corn meal. There are many variations - people add different things.
The closest thing I found in the Spanish-speaking world was a buñuelo.
