I don't remember who on the team said it, but; a player said, "when getting hit by Travis it was painful because he was as hard as a block of gov't cheese". Asked later about the comment, Travis said it was due eating a lot of cornbread growing up. That's the way I remember it, and I'm sticking to it.
(edit)Wiki say's it was S&C coach that said he was hard as cheese.
5 pages in but I still feel the same. I cannot stand it. To each their own I suppose.
If it helps, I like unsweetened tea. I can assure you that I have had my fair share of cornbread growing up, all sorts of variations and partner food combinations. It just doesn't do it for me at all.You sound like my brother that said he did like Sweet Tea.
Sure, who likes Sweet Tea when they have only been offered Bad Sweet Tea all their life?
Until I was married I had only been offered Bad Sweet Tea. I didnt care for Bad Sweet Tea either. Then my world changed and I went on a crusade to right the wrong that me and my siblings had to endure.
Dont stop trying Potata Salad until you try my Sister In Laws. Who knew how few know how to make it?
My experience has been, if a drink or meal is prepared wrong or an ingredient is ruined, dont judge all by that one attempt(I hope I never try Mayonaise Meatloaf again. It has the flavor of what a dumpster smells like.)
Cornbread is mysterious. You notice by most accounts you eat it WITH something that is delicious on its own or you add the right amount of seasoning or butter.
Not too many are eating cornbread like Sniker Bars. Once you have been offered some properly prepared, properly dressed cornbread you should see its value.
Its best for adding to a runny dish(soup, chili, beans, greens, etc.) to soak up the juice to make it easier to eat and its a great filler.
To say Cornbread sucks means you have been doing it wrong.
Even a bad cornbread with the right amount of honey tasted like a dessert. I guarantee that.
I sure miss my Mommas Bad Sweet Tea.
Grandma's cornbread and SOUP BEANS... All these other beans mentioned are just that, beans. You or your grandma must be from way back in time and place (like me and mine) to even know about soup beans. They are the greatest..... (along with place and time)You've never had my grandma's cornbread and soup beans, so you can be forgiven for not understanding the significance to those of us who have.
Knoxville... always has been a little "yankee" (reference war between the states). Now this post may let you "off the hook" for not liking cornbread. By the way, congratulations for the post creating the most response for the year.Knoxville. Cedar Avenue in the Lincoln Park/Oakwood neighborhood is where I spent most of my childhood. My room's windows faced south Knoxville. The windows were setup so I could go onto the roof and climb down to the deck to sneak out as a teen. I used to move my TV out there on game days. When we scored i could see the fireworks over Neyland. They always came about 45 seconds before the TV showed the score. I remember a few game winning scores where I would be watching to see if we pulled out a win and the fireworks would give it away before the score happened on TV. Good times without cornbread.
