"Rooster set about preparing our supper. Here is what he brought along for "grub:" a sack of salt and a sack of red pepper and a sack of taffy—all this in his jacket pockets—and then some ground coffee beans and a big slab of salt pork and one hundred and seventy corn dodgers. I could scarcely credit it. The "corn dodgers" were balls of what I would call hotwater cornbread. Rooster said the woman who prepared them thought the order was for a wagon party of marshals."
"True Grit"—Simon and Schuster
