I Have a Confession

Cornbread is a meal in itself. I press slices of jalapeno peppers into the batter before baking. Eat it fresh out of the oven with lots of real butter to melt over the top. Follow that with some sweet corn cake for dessert, all rinsed down with a big glass of ice-cold
milk. Yum!

I love cornbread.

Best baked in a cast iron skillet for nice thick crust.

I eat it with a spoon from a glass with milk as a bed time snack.

Pinto beans, corn bread, fried potatoes, onion, sour kraut and butter milk is the traditional meal of Southern Appalachia.

Fed cornbread to a friend visiting from London and he had no appreciation for it.

Uncivilized barbarians!

I like Scotch; why don’t the Brits appreciate cornbread?

White or yellow?

Absolutely bake it in cast iron. It is best if you put you bacon grease in the skillet and the put it in the oven while you are mixing the batter. Get it good and hot and then pour in the batter. You get a good crunchy crust. Mmmm.

Yellow corn meal!

Scotch? you actually drink that rotgut??

Besides, think that a TRUE Brit would more appreciate gin or perhaps rum...

"Brits" incude the Welsh, Scots, and Irish. The Gaelic invented distilling. The Scots drink Scotch, and some pretty good ale.

Scots Gaelic calls whisky uisge beatha, "water of life."
