In this episode, the first of our two-part look at dishes from Mark Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Nick makes two versions of cornbread from the novel after taking a close look at historical documents and recipes. He also tries two beverages with deceiving names: “pot liquor,” which contains no alcohol, and “buttermilk,” which contains no actual butter (as far as he knows). Stay tuned for more foolery and the second half of recipes from Huckleberry Finn in next week’s episode!
