How many of you remember crumbling up cornbread into a glass of sweet milk and eating it with a spoon after supper?
This was a special treat we ALWAYS did when spending the night with my grandparents, only they used buttermilk.
If you ever find yourself wondering why folks call whole milk “sweet milk” just pour yourself up a big old glass of buttermilk! After a sip or two of that, it will make perfect sense!

we call it sweet milk in TN too 🙂
I had never heard anyone other than my husband call whole milk sweet milk. I was beginning to think he had made it up! 🙂 He’s from Montgomery, I guess that explains it!

I am the only one I know who loves cornbread and milk. I was born and raised here in the northwest corner of the map, but both my folks are West Texans and when I make cornbread, it’s mostly so I can have it for dessert!
Yep, In TN we do this with buttermilk. My dh thought I was crazy when I told him about, lol. Then again he never even knew what cornbread was. Yum, I love it growing up we ate that with all meals.
I don’t think I could even bring myself to even take a sip of buttermilk, I can imagine the sourness!
Something similar which I have eaten before is soft white bread with sugar sprinkled over the top and covered with warm milk. I don’t eat it often but like your cornbread and milk, it’s more of a nostalgic thing.
