Folks in our area prefer a "wet" or moist corn bread which we call corn pone. It is often served at family meals, especially during holidays, and is a staple for Church dinners. Our grandparents loved reheating it in a skillet for breakfast. They would cut the piece in half and spread butter on it. I always like butter on mine too! It can be served warm or room temperature; I like it both ways...this is addictive! There are numerous recipes for pone, but this is one of my favorites. I remember the first time I made it as a young bride to serve my smiling husband!
