What's a body to do????? I didn't want to offend any of these dear ladies.

I did good. I don't like pie. I don't like blueberry. I don't like strawberry. I don't like coconut. Soooo, I ate that chocolate truffle that Ms Janet made and a brownie.

But I know that you'll NEVER guess what I have to munch on at home!!

So, you put sugar in your cornbread?

You people need to learn how to cook cornbread the southern way and that's with sugar. You guys cook cornbread the Yankee way.

Maybe you need to say the Cajun way because most Southerners don't.

So, you're a yankee then, correct? You have to be because you don't make cornbread the southern way.

My grandmother used to put a little sugar in vegetables sometimes - but very little. Say maybe in purple hull peas or a little when she boiled sweet corn to make it a little sweeter.

I was going to mention that - - sweetened the veggies, but not the cornbread.

The southern way is to make it with buttermilk and no sugar the way other Southerners here have said. Case closed!!!!
