South of the Border Spoonbread is a little different from traditional spoonbread in that it is a bit firmer, and can be cut into squares, so serving’s easy, but it’s so moist, it can’t be eaten with the fingers like regular cornbread (while its hot); a fork actually works best, especially when it’s slathered with butter or covered in salsa.
