flyover as fuck

South fag here. You eat it with your meal like a dinner roll. I like to scoop up collard/turnip greens and put some hot sauce on it.

i eat it with chili.

>>5917942
Is this a new epic maymay?

Cornbread means different things to different people. My family comes from Appalatcha, where cornbread is seen as a staple to be eaten at each meal. My mamaw told me that if you needed to, a person could live on cornbread alone for a good long time.

>>5917967
*Appalachia
Damned auto correct

use it to soak up juices

>>5917939
Do you not ever eat bread or rolls with your meal?

This is no different.

>>5917939

if you're real country / wholesome as fuck you break it up into a glass of whole milk. farm boy strong shit.

>>5917967
Your mamaw is fucking stupid

Stale cornbread and milk for breakfast is pretty good.

>>5917983

you also put boiled peanuts in your coke because it's the fucking 1950s.

>>5917984
Show some fucking respect.

>>5917989
>he says with an obscenity

>>5917984
DONT YOU DARE FUCKING TALK ABOUT MY SAINTED MAMAW! WHAT KIND OF PIECE OF SHIT TALKS SMACK ABOUT SOMEONE ELSES DEAD GRANDMOTHER.

>>5917989
If I write "Respect" on my genitals will it count?

>>5917992
Maybe if she didn't pop off at the mouth with stupid shit, I wouldn't have said anything

>>5917939
boston market cornbread is nasty, it has way too much sugar.

you can make it sweet or savory, but it should be mildly sweet. put jalapenos, cheddar, and fresh corn in for savory cornbread. put fruit and a small amount of honey or maple syrup for sweet.

>>5918052
>fresh corn

Never

Creamed corn is always the superior choice for making cornbread.

It's a sugary bread, nothing more than a desert like pancakes.

>>5917964
Pour chili into a casserole dish.
Top with cornbread batter.
Bake.
?
Profit.

>>5918115
>I have never eaten proper cornbread

>>5918102
not if your recipe doesn't need the extra liquid you dipshit fuck

>>5918115
>desert like pancakes

>>5918264

It's the exact same ingredients as pancakes.

>>5918102
creamed corn is good, it makes the cornbread more... creamy.

but sometimes i like it where it's kind of crumbly

>>5918264
>he doesn't have pancakes after eating steak for dinner

>>5918278
>It's the exact same ingredients as pancakes.
pretty sure thats not true

>>5918052
or just fucking add msg you pussy

>>5918293
for what? savory cornbread? don't be a retard

>>5918178
>i don't know how to cook
ok, good luck with that you shit faggot

>>5918297
might as well add tomato, mushroom, and fucking walnuts while you're at it then asshole

>>5918302
>sundried tomato and sauteed mushroom cornbread
sounds good to me

>apple walnut cornbread
sounds good to me

>msg cornbread
not so much

>>5918102
>>>5918052
>>fresh corn
>Never
>Creamed corn is always the superior choice for making cornbread.
Did you just admit you didn't know that creamed corn comes from a fresh corn cob and the backend of your knife after slicing off the kernels? Superfresh corn is sweet. That canned stuff is godawful.

OP, southern cornbread is quite a bit different from that Boston Market kind, as >>5918052
said. What you want is something only as sweet as the corn in it, and sweetened no more than a Tbsp for the entire cast iron batch. This is so you can drizzle a little cane or sorgum syrup on it, or honey, if your sweet tooth wants it after your meal for the final bite or two. I also consume mine when I make a pork chop main, have any greens or black eyed peas in my dinner. It does indeed sop up any vegetable side's juices, whether it's stewed tomatoes, some shelled peas, or beans, or greens.

If you want to get hardcore southern or traditional, you'll argue about whether the cornmeal is white or yellow.

>>5918320
>If you want to get hardcore southern or traditional, you'll argue about whether the cornmeal is white or yellow.

White = southern
Yellow = Yankee abomination

>>5918325
This man knows his cornbread!

Oh man what I would give right now for some batch bottled cane syrup. *sniff* Grandma always had some with her muffins in the morning when I sleptover. I haven't had a roadtrip into Georgia in too long!

>>5918042
>>5917984
What was the comment that was so stupid? Living off nothing but cornbread for awhile? Perfectly believable as you could live off only milk for a pretty extended period and older generations had to discover these sort of things during the depression and wartime as emergency measures.

I'll take the tertiary advice of some anon's grandmother over the advice of some other anon acting like a know-it-all dipshit spouting opinions without any support or context.

>>5917939
you eat it with a thick glass of buttermilk.

>>5918345
>I'll take the tertiary advice of some anon's grandmother over the advice of some other anon acting like a know-it-all dipshit spouting opinions without any support or context.

In theory I agree but in practice I'm not so sure. Thanks to the internet everyone knows everything these days, and older folk who have lived most of their lives without it sometimes hold some blatantly insane and incorrect opinions.

>>5918370
>drinking buttermilk
That sounds fucking terrible
Do people actually do this?

>>5918052
thank-you

>>5917939
It's a desert for poor white trash redneck southerners, don't bother yourself with it (if you have any class, that is), have some foie gras instead.

use it as pizza dough

>>5918406
I realize there are other ingredients, but living solely on corn is a great way to get pellagra.

>>5918583
the dutch do

>>5918583
yeah? it's delicious. it tastes like sour cream.

>>5918626
>Similarly, sweet corn in Indonesia is traditionally ground or soaked with milk, which makes available the B vitamin niacin in the corn, the absence of which would otherwise lead to pellagra

apparently you can either cook the corn with lime water to nixtamalize it, or cook it with milk. and since there's milk in cornbread...

>not soaking it in milk and eating it with a spoon

>>5918668
i've never tried this, but i made apple cornbread to try it with. just waiting for it to cool.

>grandfather always put slices of cake into a glass or bowl of milk
>it's delicious

>>5918668
>milk
nigga you put that shit in a glass of buttermilk

>>5918706
>store only sells low-fat buttermilk with starch thickeners
there is no god

I'm not this retard >>5917983 but its good with clabber and molasses

I used to eat it a lot but its kind of like just a starch in your meal. Tons of ways to eat it

>>5918406
>Thanks to the internet everyone knows everything these day

lol no. they just think they do.

>>5918406
No, everyone has access to everything, but we either pretend we know everything while being ignorant or just argue with strangers over any given topic.

I just love them beans and cornbread.

>>5918664
>it tastes like sour cream
that sounds awful

/ck/ I have never eaten corn bread and I don't bake at all; I want to start baking and I want to bake cornbread tommorow, what is the best recipie?

pls respond

>>5919019
i can see why it would be to some people, but i love sour fermented foods, especially dairy. fermented dairy and vegetables are delicious.

cornbread is for shootin' on the prarie

>>5919160
Easiest way to get a general idea of the flavor most America's know is to just get a box of Jiffy Mix cornbread mix and make it from there. If you like it at all, look into more recipes.

>>5917967
Beans and corn bread together create a complete protein. Corn and beans grow easily in mountainous regions unlike most vegetables. While your grandmother probably didn't know why it is good she is mostly correct assuming you eat beans with the cornbread. It doesn't cover every nutrient you need though. Something like 4 years though you will be fine on just cornbread and beans.

>>5918333
>Aunt always made cornbread that was white with a mostly solid top on it
>Never understood why mine was always such a deep yellow til just now
I feel retarded.

>>5917939

Cornbread to me is an essential side to a few dishes. Specifically, ribs, chili, gumbo, and some other cajun or Southern foods. It's eaten with the meal to break the monotony, and in the latter two cases I actually tend to take a bite of cornbread and then a bite of chili or gumbo before swallowing.

My New Year's Day lunch is always a bowl of black-eyed peas with hot sauce and a big hunk of a cornbread. The combination's a great hangover cure, and of course it's good for luck. (I take my greens with dinner later.)

>>5919182
cool thx

>>5918052
You can run a sweet cornbread with jalapenos in it, but if you do so pair it with something fatty or eat it by itself.

>>5919214
>While your grandmother probably didn't know why it is good she is mostly correct assuming you eat beans with the cornbread

that's only if you're eating cornbread made with corn + water. if you're eating cornbread made with milk, eggs, and butter you could live off of that alone for a while.

stop trying to prove this guy's grandma wrong.

>>5919295
Maybe if she wasn't such a whore

>>5919293
>You can run a sweet cornbread with jalapenos in it, but if you do so pair it with something fatty

>cornbread with butter and sweet jalapeno jelly

that sounds really good

>>5919306
well then just say it and move on, don't spread misinformation about poor innocent cornbread. cunt.

>>5919316
>sweet jalapeno jelly
Have you ever had bell pepper jam? It's my absolute favourite jam. I don't generally like jalapeno jam, though.
BPJ is motherfucking fantastic on corn muffins.

>>5918115
>sugary
>cornbread

>>5919343
Cornbread can be made either sweet like a cake or savory.

Sweet cornbread is more popular in the south.

>>5919214
>Beans and corn bread together create a complete protein.
What were the topping on?

>>5919363
Wrong. In the south cornbread is not sweet its savory. If you add enough sugar to make the cornbread sweet, then what you have is called Johnny Cake.

>>5919721
This.

>>5917939
Is cornbread actually good? I've never had it before but it looks like a very thick, dry sponge cake.

>>5919320
i've never had any kind of pepper jam, it does sound good though. fresh ripe peppers taste fairly sweet.

>>5919160

don't do this>>5919182

it's disgusting

>>5919721
This Anon is not a dumbfuck Yankee
