History of National Corn Fritters Day
Origination and the history of the National Corn Fritters Day remain anonymous. But the corn fritters originated as sweet and savoury snack in Southern America and were consumed for thousands of years. These fritters were served as side dish or snack and were called as Southern Bread. Later Europeans adopted the recipe of corn fritters from native Americans and modified the ingredients to fit for their continent. Maize seeds were introduced to Spanish and Portuguese traders in the 16th century, and due to less requirement of water, maize was largely cultivated in Indonesia, which eventually led to the popularity of the dish. Indonesia has its style of corn fritters called perkedel jagung or bakwan jagung.
