I'm gagging as I type. My granny taught me lots of things. One was, if you can't stand the smell, don't put it in your mouth.

I like my coffee like I like my oil, black and expensive

Crackers with Chili
Cornbread sticks with veggy soup
Regular cornbread with white beans or pintos

Weird count. Earlier I was going to use that coffee quote on this very thread earlier today, but thought better of it. I was going to use it in a slightly different context though. :biggrin:

Baking cornbread in anything other that a decades old cast iron skillet constitutes sufficient legal grounds for being beaten to death, preferably with a decades old cast iron skillet....

That is the question

I can tell you right now, cornbread is to be eaten without sugar

Sugar is for cookies and cakes
I want my cornbread made with cornmeal, buttermilk and bacon grease

I dont want egg in my cornbread, cause I want it so dry it will choke you to death without a big glass of sweet tea to wash it down

I hear ya; that USED to be my position exactly. However, just a spoon of sugar helps the texture of cornbread, without it being about sweetness at all. I like an egg in there too. Sure, you can say our poorer ancestors didn't always have those frills to consume (they had eggs, but often more needed the cash from the sellin em); but they probably had bean juice or gravy or milk to wet down any dry cornbread.

Just my opinion. I like to be a purist, but I like even better not to get choked.
