Pashofa, or pishofa, is a Chickasaw and Choctaw soupy dish made from cracked white corn, also known as pearl hominy.

[1] The dish is one of the most important to the Chickasaw people and has been served at ceremonial and social events for centuries.

[2] Traditionally, dried corn was ground in a mortar into cornmeal and cooked in a pot with water.

Finely cut pieces of young piglet or calf meat were added.

[4] Specialized paddles and spoons, carved from wood or animal horns, were used in stirring, serving, and eating pashofa.
