Frybread made from milk and wheat flour and fried in lard (traditionally) or vegetable shortening (more common since 1980) is also a fixture in poorer households in rural Kentucky and West Virginia. I've eaten it myself while visiting relatives there. The term "frybread" was not used for it, however; they just called it "bread."

Why is the "squaw bread" parenthesis separate from the bannock one, as they both serve the same purpose? I would change it myself, if I wasn't concerned with the "squaw bread" term itself. Where are the referenced "some areas"? I've spent plenty of time in southern Utah, where fry bread is ubiquitous, and never once did I hear it called "squaw bread." And just because someone, somewhere, supposedly called or calls it by this term, does that justify the inclusion of pejoratives? Spike2021 (talk) 19:01, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
