Native Americans have used maize (ground corn) as food for thousands upon thousands of years, long before European explorers arrived in the New World. Pre-Columbian Americas considered corn-based products to be staple foods. These included cornbread, arepa and corn flatbread. Native Americans did not use deep drying techniques at that time. However, they had ample cooking oil and equipment capable of handling oil cooked at high temperatures.

European settlers arrived in America to learn about the different methods and recipes for corn dishes. The settlers began to create their own cornmeal-based recipes, including European breads. In the South of the United States, the corn fritter was first invented. This cuisine is well-known for its deep-fried dishes. The most well-known is Southern Fried Chicken!
