Cracklin cornbread was a favorite on hog killing day. Wow memories are flooding my mind. Hog killing day? Now that was a murderous, traumatic event for a sensitive young man like me. But when mama made fried pork tenderloin for SUPPER with BISCUITS and CORNBREAD I understood why the pig had to die!!!

Ok... First, a true southerner calls lunch..lunch, and supper..supper!
Second, Sometimes I have biscuts for breakfast or breakfast for supper. With biscuits of course. Sometimes, I have leftover corn bread in sweet milk for breakfast.
So my answer to the poll question is both!!

My mama always said dinner was the biggest meal of the day. On Sundays it was usually lunchtime and the rest of the week it was at suppertime.

You don’t eat Thanksgiving lunch

Lunch was a quicker, less elaborate meal, maybe sandwiches, soup, whatever. If we sat down to a several vegetables/meat/bread meal at noon we called it dinner. Supper was the evening meal. So absolutely, Thanksgiving dinner!

If your grandma didn't keep a gallon can of hog lard in her kitchen and dip in to it when making her biscuits, she wasn't doing it right. Crisco? LOL If you never have eaten hog lard biscuits you haven't actually had a Tennessee biscuit, you've been eating a reasonable facsimile of an ol timey Tennessee biscuit. Hog lard biscuits, iron skillet cornbread, King Leo candy in a can, and Garrett snuff on a tree twig used to be in almost every Tennessee household used by somebody.

Cool story.....i have both of my grandmama's rendering pots. Both were cracked so I made them into planters. Considering getting them welded up.

There's another question to be asked. Is it lunch or dinner and is it dinner or supper?

I grew up calling lunchtime dinner and dinnertime supper but then I met my wife and she corrupted my interpretation of everything lol.

I always heard that "dinner" is the largest meal of the day, and "supper" is the evening meal. Apologies if someone already gave this answer, but I couldn't read 6 pages to find out.
Err...make that "wouldn't."

You forgot to include Black Jack whiskey with honey and lemon juice mixed in. Sure fire cure for the common cold.
My grandma always kept it handy.

The answer is 2 cups of Tube Rose self-Rising cornmeal. A cup and a half of buttermilk. 2 eggs and then mix ingredients with a spoon in a bowl. Pull out an 8 inch black iron skillet and add a good dollop of Crisco butter stick and heat until extremely hot then add to cornmeal mixture and stir until it is thoroughly mixed. Pour back in said 8 inch black iron skillet and bake at 450 for 40 minutes or until golden brown. This is a country man's cornbread, I know I made it last night with smoke pork chops and pinto beans. I needed some greens. It is close to a perfect meal that you can get! GBO!

It just depends on who made it. One of my favorite meat n 3s serves dry, crumbly cornbread that I wouldn't serve to a dog. If I go somewhere like Loveless Cafe that is known for biscuits, I'm eating a biscuit.

At our place they'd throw a couple of shots of Old Crow (only kept around for medicinal use and "flavoring" egg nog during the holidays) in a deep saucer, squeeze some lemon juice in, a half spoon of sugar, mix it all up, take a match to it, let it burn for about a 7 count, put a saucer on top to kill the flame and then you had to gulp it down. But that was a last resort, before that you had already had your chest slathered in Vicks Vaporub the previous night. My Granny, who was a spitting image of Granny on the Beverly Hillbillies would often take a spoonful of Vicks Vaporub down the hatch. None of the rest of us were that hardcore.
