Fuck me on a bed of cornbread, you stud

So is the texture like cake or something?

I think I might be the only person I've met who's just never liked cornbread. I mean, I've never really been into bread that you need to add butter or honey to in order to enjoy, and it's just so crumbly and messy even before adding those things that I've never seen the appeal. Just throw some masa into your chili while it's still on the heat if you insist on adding corn bread to chili; not sure what else it's good for.

There's two kinds of cornbread. Northern cornbread is dry and cakey like in OP. It's usually sweet, too. Southern cornbread is rich and dense, with only a little sugar if it's added at all.

Ever had it griddled? Just take a piece, split down the middle, and fry crumbly-side down in a bit of butter. Even better with a light(!) drizzle of molasses.

I honestly can't say that I have. Pretty sure I've also never used molasses as a condiment on its own either, so no need for the warning to go light with the drizzle (gave me a kek, though).

some people call me cornbread as a nickname

Yeah honey makes it good. When I was a boy I ate cornbread too much and I got sick of it. Need to start eating it more

There needs to be a distinction between sweet corn bread and regular corn bread. Sweet cornbread is basically cake. It should be called Corncake. Regular cornbread is plain and dry as fuck. So dry in fact that you can toss it through a window.

where I live people usually call it "sweet cornbread" if it's sweet. helps some.

Start eating better cornbread. No, that prepackaged Jiffy, or whatever brand name mix does not make good cornbread.

What goes well with cornbread? I'm interested in trying it but I wouldn't know what to do with it. I know BBQ is an option

>>12151913
I think one reason a lot of cornbread is dry is because it probably needs to sit for a while for the cornmeal to soak up liquid and rehydrate before baking. Even regular flour isn't fully hydrated until like 10-20 minutes after mixing with liquid. Try letting the batter sit for like a half hour or even an hour before baking next time you want to make it. And use buttermilk instead of regular milk, since it's thicker you can add a little more for more moisture without making the batter too thin.

I believe Mark Twain said that there is no greater bread in the world than cornbread, and no worse bread than its northern imitation.
