Hot water corn bread Hot water corn bread Hot water cornbread is a Native American food item and is unique to the South. European explorers learned to make cornmeal into cornbread from the indigenous people. Hot water cornbread is a mixture of cornmeal and water cooked in a skillet with cooking oil (traditionally animal fat, such as lard, was used). The cornmeal is mixed with boiling water to make a batter. It is then placed in small portions in the hot oil, in the skillet and browned on both sides. The individual sizes generally range from two to five inches. This food item was
Envy-free item assignment the agents' utilities are not additive, the MNW solution is not necessarily EF1; but if the agents' utilities are at least submodular, the MNW solution satisfies a weaker property called "Marginal-Envy-Freeness except-1-item" (MEF1). There is an alternative criterion called Envy-freeness-except-cheapest (EFx): For each two agents A and B, if we remove from the bundle of B "any" item, then A does not envy B. EFx is strictly stronger than EF1. As of this writing, it is not known whether EFx allocations always exist. Given an allocation "X", define the envy ratio of "i" in "j" as: so the ratio is
