Intriguing is what I thought when I saw this recipe. I love corn bread. I remember a place where we used to go when we first got married that served the most amazing corn muffins. It was a buffet and you could have all you wanted and that was my favorite thing to eat. I have never been able to replicate those corn muffins but it doesn’t stop me from trying.
This corn bread is so yummy. The rum, coconut and nutmeg, which are such different ingredients compared to any other corn bread I have ever made, combine to make a wonderful flavor. I wish I could be more descriptive. The flavor reminds me of something from my past that I just can’t put my finger on. Maybe I need to have another piece. 
Sweet and exotic, I’m sure you will agree that this cornbread is Mmmmm FABU!
