I was raised on buttermilk and cornbread because it was a cheap meal for my parents to give to 7 kids. As an adult, I continue to eat one of my all-time favorite meals. As an older person, however, I don't eat it as frequently as I did in the past due to the high sodium content. It's still very good...best when the cornbread is very hot and the buttermilk is cold. I have even used honey cornbread, and it's also good. 'Milk and bread' was the name for it back in the day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13296145.post-38276104640532705682015-04-03T23:19:57.295-04:002015-04-03T23:19:57.295-04:00My Dad used to eat this as a snack when there was ...My Dad used to eat this as a snack when there was leftover cornbread, one of his favorite things in the world to eat. I don't wait for leftover cornbread. I make it specifically to eat with buttermilk. I wish I knew the nutritional content, and I would also love to try some real buttermilk. I'm guessing you may be able to buy it at someplace like Whole Foods or Market Street. Buttermilk and cornbread is nectar of the Gods!!

My mother-in-law grew up in Alabama. She raised her boys to enjoy cornbread and buttermilk. I had never head of such a thing until I married my husband. They would always crumble the cornbread into their glass of buttermilk and eat it with a spoon. And I agree, this is unsweetened cornbread.

As others have said, the cornbread needs to be gritty vs. cakelike and not sweet. I like the buttermilk to be cold. I crumble up the cornbread in a tall glass, pour buttermilk over, then add salt and freshly cracked pepper. Good with green onions on the side. Unfortunately, it's hard to find high-quality buttermilk today. Most of it is regular milk that has been treated with an additive to make it sour -- yuck!! You want to find real buttermilk if possible, milk that is left over from churning butter. It should have flecks of real butter in it and it's never mucousy or slimy. I finally found a local store that sells a good brand. And I grew up in California too but my mom was from TN and brought the good ideas with her! When I was a kid I had no idea that other people didn't love cornbread and buttermilk. My husband is from CO and still can't bear to watch me eat it! His loss.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13296145.post-66901291743301075362012-08-05T15:06:59.697-04:002012-08-05T15:06:59.697-04:00I see that this blog was started in 2006 and I'...I see that this blog was started in 2006 and I'm sure that we're only a few that has happened upon it.

I made some cornbread last night & as I was crumbling it in the coffee mug I could almost hear him say,"Best breakfast ever is all, gotta be stale so you can still have the crispy bits in the buttermilk." Then I loaded it with black pepper like he would do all the while hearing him say, "And plenty o'pepper ain't nothin' t'be scared of neither. MMM-mh." Then I closed my eye's & had breakfast with Papaw. I just had to look up Cornbread & Buttermilk to see if anyone else felt the same about it and I am so glad to have found this site.
