There are several theories as to how Johnnycakes came to be named.
One is that Johnnycakes was originally an Indian food, and may first have been known as Shawnee cakes. Another is that
they were called journey cakes, since travelers often took packages of them on long trips. At any rate, it gradually
changed into Johnnycakes.
