Buttermilk

[Gutpile Charlie]

When I was a kid, my father used to drink it. It would take a tall glass, break up cornbread in the glass, then top it off with buttermilk.

Now I like cornbread....and I like buttermilk....but I never liked it that way.

Yes, it is one of those flavors you just have to "learn" to like. To me, those flavors are beer, green olives, Roquefort and blue cheese...oh, and I might ad boiled okra. (By the way, I like all of the above.)

p.s. As an after thought, there is just one dish I will not eat...ever...for any reason...even if I were dying of hunger...that is "breaded tomatoes".

Damn, I don't know who thought this up, but it is the most disgusting thing imaginable.

My mother used to make it...and I would not eat it.....period....the end....end of story...."that's the name of that tune."

In case you've never tried it, it is made of canned stewed tomatoes, chuncked up old bread.....and sugar!

Damn! Just makes me want to retch thinking about it.

There is nothing worse than "wet" bread.....covered with tomatoes and sugar!

HOLY COW, GIMME A BREAK!

My mother used to drink it. Once in a while I'd grab the wrong bottle ... euuk. Tasted like a rubber tire filtered through a dead marsupial carcass.

I like to cook with it, but I will not drink it, ever.

good for makin' pancakes and bisquits, but don't think I could bring myself to drink it

Fresh churned ice cold Buttermilk is Grand...Cornbread, pinto beans with a hamhock cook with it
and green onions, cause your taste buds beat your brains out.

Now that's a meal!!
Come to think of it...I've got a smoked hamhock in the freezer from our yearly hog and I'm sure we can rustle up some pinto beans....cornbread..not a problem and fresh green onions from the herb garden...yum!!
And top it off with an ice cold glass of fresh buttermilk

Life doesn't get much better than that


Add...my bride grew up in East Liverpool, Ohio..just across the border from Chester, WVA..when she was a kid, one of the local radio statons had an announcer/dj named Bob Gray...his show was "Bob Gray and the Chester Hour" and his opening line was always "gitcha cold glass o' buttermilk, come sit on the porch and we'll listen to some music" ...needles to say, her grandmother would do just that and my bride would join her for the buttermilk...could be it's an aquired taste...I love it

I just finished a glass as I was looking at the forum. A couple of grinds of pepper and then sit down with the salt shaker next to the glass, so I can salt each sip. It was great. I want to go back to the fridge for another glass, but I will use some self control and save it for tomorrow.
No liver for me thanks.

Bullseye has it right about the absentee ballots not counted yet. The Chicago Cemetary votes aren't in yet. LOL.
