in my country we have native maize cultivar called "trdinka"
we make žganci with it
how to make žganci: you take flour and toss it in boiling water. don't mix, just let it cook in a big chunk for half an hour. then you pour water away (usually you'd make bread or thicken sauces with such water) and now mix. the wet and dry parts mixed together should be just right. then you take a pan and fry the resulting half-dry mush on lard, and normally some "ocvirki": pork rinds, but usually we don't make those from skin but from connective tissue that was left over from rendering fat.
It can serve as standalone dish for breakfast or snack (typically with "kislo mleko" - soured milk, which I guess could be described as wild yogurt), as side dish to meats.
žganci made from buckwheat flour are also popular
