      Editing … "Baked beans and pease porridge were everyday fare, particularly during the winter, and usually eaten with coarse, dark bread. At first, it was made with a mixture of wheat and maize (corn), but a disease struck in the 1660s called wheat rust, after which it was made of rye and maize. Vegetables with meat boiled thoroughly was a popular dish. Baking was a favorite method of cooking, and New England was the origin of dishes today seen as quintessentially American, such as apple pie and baked Thanksgiving turkey."

      Editing … Oatmeal mush was a popular meal in the British borderlands and remained popular in America. The only difference was that the oatmeal was replaced by corn, and is still known today in the South as grits. Cakes of unleavened dough baked on bakestones or circular griddles were common and went by names such as "clapbread", "griddle cakes" and "pancakes".

      Editing … Wheat, the grain primarily used in English bread, was almost impossible to grow in the North, and imports of wheat were expensive.[36] Substitutes included corn (maize) in the form of cornmeal. The johnnycake was generally considered a poor substitute for wheaten bread, but was accepted by residents in both the northern and southern colonies.

    I waited to make this page because I wasn't sure--should this be "American Independence Day"? I know "Fourth of July" differentiates it but there are still lots of different Independence Days.
