Hands down...BUTTERMILK!!! My kin not only made cornbread with buttermilk, but some would take their cornbread and soak it in a tall, cold glass of buttermilk for a treat.

[MissBrattified]

Sweet milk! Buttermilk is nasty!!

I was born in W.Va.

I am a buttermilk man.

I love to poor buttermilk over two day old cornbread in a cup and shake some salt on it. Then eat it. YUM-YUM!

[Scott Hutchinson]

I don't drink buttermilk but buttermilk really makes a difference in the cornbread.
My grandmother Hutchinson was an old school country cook and she used buttermilk in her cornbread ,to her using sweet milk in cornbread was a sin.
She also agains't canned biscuits she made old fashioned cat head biscuits and tomato gravy.

[Malvaro]

i don't think i've ever tried either....

[Scott Hutchinson]

Cathead biscuits were great big homemade biscuits almost as big as a hamburger bun.My grandmother was really old fashioned and she believed in cooking all meals ,she was not for instant food at all.

[MrsMcD]

I sure do understand. My grandmother is 92. For years, I have been writing down her recipes and tips. When she is gone, there will be no one that cooks like her.

[Scott Hutchinson]

MRS McD most young women today don't how to country cook.It's almost a lost art.
My wife can cook country food ,but she works a job and it's hard for her to take the time to do it.

Mmmmmmmm. Sounds goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood. I almost had the wife convinced that we should pack up and move to GA the other night. Geico has a call center in Macon and they are looking for bilingual people. I think I'd probly fit right in in the South.

With my insurance and customer service experience I think I would be a good fit with a company like Geico. Do you know of any good churches there?

There are two UPC churches there. I have family in one and I have family that left just recently left the other one. I can't say that either are good or bad but I wouldn't choose either one if I lived there now. There are lots of churches in Macon.

I see. UPC doesn't have to be in the title for me to be interested. There are some things I am looking for in a church, though. One of which is that they don't celebrate Christmas. Do you know of any? If so, pm me. No sense in starting a firestorm on this thread, if you know what I mean.

I went fishing with my pastor down in southeast Georgia one time, the consequences of that was I had at least 150 chiggars up both of my legs to the belt line of my waist (anywhere in between was fair game to the chiggars, if you know what I mean). I was miserable for a week.

What memories this thread brings to my mind this morning! I like to

drink buttermilk and have made biscuits and cornbread with it, but when

I take that piece of golden brown cornbread and crumble it in that tall

glass of milk....Sweet milk for me!:thumbsup

My mother always used a little soda when she used buttermilk in her

bread.

Wouldn't it be great if the world's biggest issue was whether to use

buttermilk or sweet milk in making biscuits or cornbread!!

Blessing to all and a good day...in Jesus Name!!

There aren't very many people who have enjoyed cornbread crumbled up in a glass of buttermilk.

One thing that always struck people that married into our family was we would always have big fish frys out on the lake and the whole family would put Burr Rabbit Syrup on their fish.

The newbies would have a look of disgust while witnessing such a sight, but eventually they joined the ranks and many would reminisce with laughter when the next newbie came along to see people putting syrup on their fish.

Bro.Chosen,

This reminds me of one of our great sons in law, whose family was

in the commercial honey bee business. When he became a part of our family

it was somewhat comical as he ate honey on everything. Honey on his eggs,

honey on veggies, honey on his steak. I am not kidding and it is almost tragic

for him even now if he thinks he is going to run out of honey before his Dad

and Mom's next trip down to Texas. They are in North Dakota.

But guess what! He has our whole family liking honey more and more. They

have been married 25 yrs. and have five healthy sons. No wonder this is

ONE of my very favorite sons in law (we have 3). He is SOOO sweet! Honey

sweetened!:icecream

Blessings,

I love to put honey in my tea...I heard that honey is very good at prevention of gum disease.

[Digging4Truth]

Hmmmm... y'all got me thinkin' now. (Texanese there)


I have always known how important buttermilk is to making a self respecting biscuit because of the acidity but I have never once gave any thought to using buttermilk in cornbread.

Could it be that, after 43 years of living, I have never yet tasted REAL cornbread.

Hmmmm

Off to the Bat-Cave for more research. :)

Sister,

You're showing your funny side this morning...He's so sweet...:lol

I remember my granddaddy never bought store-bought honey. He would go out in the woods and find a bees' nest and get some of that honeycomb and place in a jar.

You'd always see that mason jar with that honeycomb on his table. There were so many things that my mother's family were able to find in the woods. Wild berries for jellies, honey and of course all sort of wild game to eat. My grandma who was half Choctaw would go out and find a cure for just about any ailment that you could think of.

It amazes me even more today to think how resourceful they were and how our society now has lost many of those old ways. I have so many great memories of those precious family members that contributed so much to my life.

Have a great day....By the way, I enjoyed my email yesterday.

This may be a little off topic, but when my mother and I first started to get acquainted, I was dumbfounded by some of the things she would cook and prepare for her husband who was half Arab and half Mexican.

One day, I went to their house and there was a pillow case that had a bunch of moisture seeping through the cloth. I had never seen anything like that, so I asked my mother what in the world was that hanging from her tree.

She had learned to cook many of the traditional foods that her husband ate and one thing he enjoyed was a spread that was essentially curdled cream/milk and a few spices.

She would make this concoction and wrap it layer it with cloth and the like and then place it in a pillow case. She would cinch up the top of the pillow case and hang it outside for three days. That would allow time for all the moisture from the cream/milk to drip out of the pillow case leaving just this curdled white substance.

Then she would bring it in and scoop out the contents and place it in a jar of olive oil, which her husband used instead of butter.

Does anyone know what that was called? It could be found in many Arab homes. I've been trying to remember the name since early this morning.

Anyway, she must have really loved that man because that stuff stunk to high heaven.
