Yeah, and that reminds me of what a friend told me years ago. He drove up to PA to visit some folks for a while. One day he stopped at a cafe for lunch. A waitress took his order and asked him what he wanted to drink with his meal. He said, "A big tall glass of sweet milk." A little later after he took a big swig of the milk, he asked the waitress why the milk was so sweet. She told him she had never heard of the expression 'sweet milk' so she added 5 tablespoons of sugar to the glass. I'm 74 years old and used to hear the expression here in the south years and years ago, but not any more.I’d love to be in the first place he finds out there’s no “sweet tea”
Goodness, I looked up images of cornbread from NY restaurants. I now understand how they must feel when we talk about pizza. Most of the crap looks like babyshit yellow Jiffy from a box and get this...they make it in loaves!
Did any of y'all ever crumble pieces of cornbread into a glass of (white) milk and eat the stuff with a spoon? Around here we called it 'soakie' or something like that.

That’s how my grandfather used to drink it, with buttermilk, although not the onion.Oh hell yes. That’s the greatest snack ever. We always just called it “cornbread and milk.” Now my mamaw used to break it up in a glass, chop up an onion with it and top it off with buttermilk. I couldn’t take that, but cornbread and sweet milk, that’s the best.
