Butter Milk Or Sweet Milk ?
 

I must retire for the evening.
But here's a question for The Southerners here.
Do you use butter milk or sweet milk when you make your cornbread ?

dunno bout that.. but use buttermilk when making bizkits!!

Sweet milk! Buttermilk is nasty!!

No doubt.

A REAL Southerner would NEVER use sweet milk in making cornbread that sir is an abomination!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:largehalo

I hate buttermilk

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.

Not cooked into biscuits or cornbread it's not!!!! :thumbsup

Sweet milk in cornbread-- Buttermilk in biscuits.

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!

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.

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

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.

Butter Milk :thumbsup

I miss my grandmother alot I used to live with her ,and I'd give anything to eat her cooking again.

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.

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.

Amen and Amen.:highfive

My wife loves to make from scratch, Butter milk biscuits with real cow butter.

I showed her to drop those b-milk biscuits in her chicken dumplin's,,,,,,,HAWWWW,...Snort...Yum yum!

What is tomato gravy, Scott ??

Here this will you how to make tomato gravy.

Cat head biscuits? No thanks. Anything with cat heads in it doesn't sound appealing to me.

I like em both! I'll even drink em both!

AW they were just called Cathead Biscuits.

Kinda figured that, Bro. Just pulling yer leg. :)

RICO you would have liked my grandmaw's cooking ,boy we often had meatloaf ,homemadecoleslaw ,baked beans ,cornbread sweet tea and choclate cake for lunch.

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.

RICO if you were a guest in my grandmother's house she made sure you had something to eat.

I have a cousin that works at Geico in Macon. I grew up in Macon. It's a great place. I liked it because it was Central Georgia and the interstates were close. :thumbsup

Oh really? Kewl. Every time I have spoken with anyone from that call center they've been very nice and helpful. I can tell they enjoy their jobs and are happy working for Geico. 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 don't know of any right off. I'll see my cousins that still live there in a few weeks and I'll ask.

Thanks! I appreciate it.

Hey, Rico, Georgia gets really hot in the summer.

Yeah, but the fishing is excellent.

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.

Yes it does! And it is so humid. I hate the summer weather here.

I was stationed in Ft Stewart, I remember coming back from an exercise in the Mojave Desert in July. When we disembarked from the plane at Hunter Army Airfield, I remember the blast of heat that was more prevailant from the humidity than the desert heat I came from.

Wish I had some good cornbread right now!
