Etymology: Basset Hounds were the inspiration for the Hush Puppies brand of shoes, introduced in 1958. According to company lore, a sales manager traveling in the southeastern U.S. named the brand after a food popular in that region’s cuisine: hush puppies, which are deep-fried balls of cornmeal batter. The treat was supposedly given to barking hounds to keep them quiet.
