Wifey says I'm addicted? V8 low sodium vegetable juice. With a spash of Frank's Hot Sauce. I have to have at least a glass a day. I like it very very cold in nothing but a glass, glass. No plastic drinking glass for me.

I have tried most of they're fruit and vegetable drinks and they're not for me. I like the original flavor low sodium.

But I am strange. I like a glass of very very cold butter milk every now and then. I've been drinking butter milk since I was little. Maybe it's a southern thing? But I like it.

I drink the Spicy Hot V8.
Works good as a Bloody Mary with a few other fixin's, as well.

You aren't the only one who has a liking for this elixir although I prefer the "Spicy" version, it goes really well mixed with a very cool brew.

My dad's idea of dessert was a Mason jar full of buttermilk and biscuits or cornbread. My FIL also eats it every day.

They both said it took them back to their youth in rural Kentucky.

I have tried to wrap my taste buds around it with no luck. I'm glad you enjoy it.

PS: ask Zag about his "Hot 'mater sauerkraut cocktail".

Hadn't had buttermilk with cornbread in a long time!
Just hearing about it makes me want some.
As far as I know, it is a Southern thing, mostly way out there,
Go to the boondocks, gas up, and keep going.

I like V8 low sodium on the rocks I add my own red pepper or Tabasco. I like tomatoes but do not care for tomato juice or soup, Buttermilk is for pancakes.

I like the spicy V8 in a Citron Vodka Bloody Mary. It needs Tabasco, celery stalk, bacon, shrimp and few green olives, ice and enough horse radish to make the straw stand up straight in the glass. The colder the better because the hotter the the better!

I like original V-8, but the cans were so often dented that I quit buying it. I guess I should get a big plastic bottle when I shop next.

I'm more into grape juice. I like the original Welch's variety.

BTW Lt. George Welch, a fighter pilot who shot down some Jap planes at Pearl Harbor, was a member of the grape juice family.

Grape juice is actually higher in Vit. C and antioxidants than orange juice, but I like that, too.

Have you ever tried "snap-e-tom"; which is pretty similar to your mix.

I go through a lot of V8. I'll drink it straight or seasoned, by itself or with beer or gin. I like Clamato, too, which they use instead of tomato juice in their micheladas. Snap-E-Tom is pretty good, but it got expensive compared to the competition. There is a lot of good hot sauce around.

I also like V8 Juice. A little good vodka and a few other ingredients
and it goes down quite well. It used to be a good hangover remedy

When I want a quick snack, I drink of a Glass of of V8. It will fill me up and tide me over for hours. And it doesn't seem to affect my A1c.

I also Love Butter Milk and corn bread. Nothing better than left over corn bread and cold cold glass of butter milk. My dad would take a tiny piece of corn bread and crumble it in a glass and pour butter milk on top and eat it with a spoon. And most of the time I grind a little fresh ground black pepper in my butter milk.

And butter milk is my main ingredient in my homemade corn bread. Along with yellow corn meal, eggs and some bacon drippings. Baked in my momma's iron skillet. Till crunchy. And sometimes to make it a little different, I'll add a little bit of creamed corn in my mixture. It's great with the corn kernels in it.

And nothing better than chicken marinated in buttermilk over night fried in seasoned flourin an iron skillet. Makes it crunchy, crispy and gives it that golden brown look.

Momma also made the BEST crackling corn bread on the planet, with pork cracklings. And it was delicious with butter milk. You very rarely see crackling corn bread any more.

I'm just a Ole Southern Boy, taught to cook and eat like my Grandmother taught my momma. But I never mastered their homemade butter milk biscuits? Or their homemade dumplings? My 80 year old aunt, still talks about my Momma's homemade neck bones and dumplings!!! They were good!

The Mrs. and I both love low sodium V8. I make a heck of a Bloody Mary with it as the base instead of tomato juice.

Love a big, cold glass of cultured buttermilk with black pepper. Yum.

Franks has so much sodium, you aren't cutting back.

Try Tabasco instead.

Spicy Hot for me, every morning with breakfast. I tried the low salt version one time and ended up salting it. High blood pressure is not a thing for me so why go without? Sometimes I love it on the rocks half and half with a good fizzy yellow beer like Miller High Life and a slice of lemon. I use it to make other people Bloody Marys as well, or Bloody Marias, substituting Tequila for the Vodka. Not a vodka fan. It tastes like a hospital smells.
Real buttermilk. The whey left after churning butter left to curdle a bit is so much more refreshing than the carton stuff, which isn't "butter" milk at all but more like a skim milk yoghurt drink.

Not a big fan of v8 but you had me at buttermilk and cornbread. The wife's from Florida and she won't touch buttermilk, claims it's a Texas thing. I'm guessing folks in Alabama, Tennessee,Georgia, Louisiana and the Carolinas might disagree. She doesn't care for pinto beans either. Oh well...

I only add a tee tiny splash, not enough to make it hot. Just to add the tee tiny bit of the spicy flavor. It would give me heart burn for a week, if I loaded it up with Frank's.

But I do watch my sodium intake. I use fresh ground black pepper to season allot of my foods, that I use to put salt on. If I use salt, I use freshly ground sea salt. A doctor once told me to use sea salt. You get the same affect, but you use allot less? And supposedly it's better for you? I guess because you use much less?

But, I'm not a dietitian.

I used to love V-8 but suddenly lost my taste for it a few years ago. I've got several of the big cans and a bunch of the little bitty cans of it in the pantry cupboard that are so old they need to go in the trash.

Nowadays the only V-8 I like is under the hood of a fast car.

Mmmmmmm

V8 makes the BEST vegetable soup I have ever had. Get some good beef chunks. Cook them down till tender. Add chunked potatoes. Add corn. Add green beans. Cook in crock pot several hours. The BEST I have ever eaten...maybe if you do this with your V8, your wife won't think you are weird! I'll bet you she would really like it too...Enjoy!

If that's the worst flaw or habit you have, tell her she is well ahead of a lot of spouses and ought to quit bellyachin'.

Apparently, it's traditional to eat Irish steel-cut oatmeal with buttermilk.

(I just use buttermilk to make pancakes and waffles.)

I only buy V8 in big plastic jugs or little glass bottles. I haven't bought V8 in cans in years. I don't like the aluminum taste of any can.

Even if I drink a diet soda in a can, I use a straw.

I prefer bottles.

The original stuff plus vodka make a pretty good bloody Mary. I add salt, and a bit of hot sauce to the mix.

Tora Tora Tora Was on TV this afternoon showed the couple of US planes that got off and shot some enemy down. HEROES!

I, too, drink Welches in honor of Lt Welch. Don't like grape or orange juice too much but I sure like their cranberry juice, either straight or with a little vodka. Unfortunatly I think it's got a lot of sugar in it.

I'll admit, a tall COLD glass of buttermilk is such a treat. I like to put pepper in mine. There is a small Amish store back home that sells a variety with butter flecks in it.

Let me tell you, if those butter flecks could talk, I'd listen.

WARNING! If you are on a blood thinner like Warfarin (Coumadin)
for example, the vitamin K content in V8 juice could foul up your INR.

I saw that and Lt. Welch was one of the P-40 pilots depicted. He was called George and the name was credited in the cast.

I believe that Welch got several addtional kills later in the war.

I like Ocean Spray Cranapple juice, and it does have some sugar. But I worry more about the sugar that I put in 4-7 cups of tea and coffee most days.

I also eat Ocean Spray Craisins, sort of like raisins, but cranbrries. I eat a small box or two most days.

Low sodium is a big factor when you have high blood pressure. I love tomato juice and V8 but have to stay away because of the high salt content. Even the so-called "low sodium" types have too much salt. But, that said, I still enjoy a bloody mary every so often. Spicy of course with some added hot sauce.

I liked buttermilk as a kid but the stuff available now is not the same.

I love a tall ice cold glass of V8 with a lime garnish, Tabasco sauce and LOTS of black pepper! Yummy!

I like V8, my wife thinks I am weird because I don't care for tomato soup which I call warm juice. She thinks tomato juice is cold soup. Keep yourself happy and don't sweat it. For add on's to V8 I like tapatio hot sauce.

7 ounces Original V8 (plastic bottle) plus one Tablespoon Chipotle Tabasco works for me. Add a quarter of a Nathan's Kosher pickle, a stick of celery and a hot Slim Jim. Goes great with breakfast!

I remembered your post and put some spicy v8 and leftover cut up steak with cut up taters and onions in a crock pot for about 2 hours on high and then just threw the steak in after the taters were done.
Really surprised me for a leftover meal.

REALLY???? I am on something else but no warnings about V8 ??

I'm on Xarelto and according to the tv lawyers, I'm already dead.

I like my V8 everyday with a couple of drops Worcestershire.

Tomato juice and buttermilk both make me want to spew, hurl, egest, blow, projectile vomit, erupt, and exfoliate. Detestable stuff, the Devil's own.

I'm doing something different today. I'm making homemade speghetti sauce today. So instead of tomato sauce as a base. I'm using V8. Still using fresh Roma tomatoes, tomato paste. The usual spices oregano, basil, bay leaves etc. it's been simmering about a hour now and smells delicious.

Also Fix'n to make my homemade meat balls. Also using V8 in the mix, I'm using ground beef with Italian ground sausage (about a 70-30 mix), along with finely chopped onions, celery, bread crumbs, a little touch of parmesan cheese, oregano, basil, an egg as a binder and a splash of V8 instead of my normal speghitti sauce. I'll bake them for about 20-30 min turning them half way. And add them to my sauce. Let the combo simmer about an hour, hour and half, till wifey gets home.

If it's good as a soup base. Why not in a batch of my spaghetti?

I'm NOT going to tell wifey or my grandson. And see if they notice anything different or say anything? They LOVE my spaghetti! And I LOVE V8! Should turn out to be GREAT? We'll see?

If my mother gets sick of chicken noodle soup, before the pot is empty, she adds a can of v-8. Makes it a whole new meal.

When we have shrimp with cocktail sauce, I save the sauce, and use it in a bloody Mary the next day. I wouldn't keep it longer than that because of the shrimp being dipped into it.

She doesn't like pinto beans or buttermilk? The poor dear!

At supper time my mother would ask, "Sweet or butter?", meaning "sweet" milk or buttermilk. (Remember when families sat down to eat dinner, which we called supper, together?) we came from East Tennessee and buttermilk was a staple.

I like the spicy version of V8. But Rusty mentioned my tomato-and-sauerkraut "cocktail". It's a 46 ounce bottle of tomato juice (Kroger's house brand is fine) mixed with a can of Frank's sauerkraut juice, and well seasoned with hot sauce. That's one way I'll use a vinegar-based hot sauce like Frank's or Texas Pete.

The mixture may not smell very sweet, but it's mighty tasty, and it will flat slap you awake in the morning.

I just finished a glass of it.

I like the V-8 Peppered and the Hot. I don't like the low sodium. It's just too bland.

I drink buttermilk on the weekends, when I brew STRONG Kenya AA (none of that Folger's or Maxwell House garbage). It prevents stomach upset from the coffee.

My personal favorite is Kefir
