Sounds like whoever made your cornbread wasnt doing it right
Jalapeño cornbread is what youve been missing.
Agreed, and agreed.
Good cornbread--especially jalapeno cornbread--is a gift. Pair it with navy beans or pinto beans and it can't be beat. Add fried chicken to that, and you have a masterpiece. End the lunch with some banana pudding, and you got a real winner.
Now, my old man used to freak the whole family out by crumbling his cornbread up in buttermilk, and drinking it like a milkshake. Not for me, no thanks.
But with some beans, yessir.
