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!

I absolutely can not believe the number of people who have never heard of eating cornbread and buttermilk ! I have always loved it. My granddaddy always drank buttermilk with his supper and as a child I thought it was great if I could do that too ! Still love it, nice and cold !
Hey Christy! I actually don’t like cornbread and sweet milk, but my daddy LOVED it. Bless his heart!! He even fed it to my daughter when she was young. She still eats it. . She likes buttermilk too, but with biscuits. lol
Cornbread in buttermilk is nectar of the gods to me! When I told my new husband, who is supposed to have Southern roots, about it he looked at me like I had lost my ever-lovin mind!
There’s absolutely nothing better than a bowl of cornbread and buttermilk! When I was dating my husband, he saw me eating the creamy concoction and couldn’t wait to try it. Well, let’s just say, there are some things we don’t share. More for me!!
Crumbled up cornbread, buttermilk, chopped onion, but y’all are forgetting the little bit of left over fried potatoes that go in with the whole mess! Now, I’m hungry!
I am eating, as I type this, what I classify as food of the gods. Warm cornbread broken up into a tall glass with buttermilk and chopped onion. God Bless my late Grandma for introducing me me to this delicacy!
Corn pone or skillet cornbread made with buttermilk and baked in a skillet coated with bacon drippings! Nothing better than to dip it in butter milk or collard green pot liquor. Grew up on both and we still follow this tradition that I can rememember from my Great Grandmother’s farm house every Sunday. Nothing like growing up in the country!
April Haha! Hey, Southerners are nothing if not cRaZy! Lol
I’m with you on the buttermilk. I’ll cook with it and love doing so, but drink it? Hey, as long as Diet Dr Pepper, Coffee, and Crystal Lite are readily available, I don’t get THAT desperate!
As for it going bad by the “sell by” date, I’d feel fine using it up to a week after that date, personally.
Rose I’m a sweet milk drinker, too!! My favorite though, is evaporated milk! YUMMY! I LOVE that in my coffee and whenever I make mashed potatoes, I always save just a weee little sip in the can for me!
Su Ooh the bread,sugar,milk combo sounds great! I can understand folks in my grandmother’s generation loving buttermilk like they do, even though its not my personal thing. Back in a time where they couldn’t afford or didn’t even have available, candy and sweets like we do, buttermilk would have been a treat. It is rich, thick, and very tangy. I think of how much my son likes sour candy and such and it makes sense that kids would like something like that back in the day. I have actually tried it a time or two and could see myself liking it if I was raised on it.
Webblech I get to wanting it myself. I remember eating it at my grandparents house when I was a little girl. I would curl up next to my granddaddy on the couch and we’d each have a glass and an iced tea spoon to dip the cornbread out with. I still miss my granddaddy, always will.
Scraphag Hey! The hurricanes bypassed this area in Florida completely. It would have been nice had they of at least left us a little cloud cover! LOL . Thank you for your kindness! We know firsthand why this is called the sunshine state after this week, believe me! We usually come when it is cooler, I think we will be sure to do that from now on!
CeeOOOOOOOOOOOOOH I LOVE GREEN ONIONS! I have to make cornbread when I get back so I can try that!!
Sondrelyn I know just what you mean, at first I thought it was a family thing, then I found out it is definitely a southern thing – sweet milk that is. Gosh, all this talk of cornbread and milk is really making me look forward to going home tomorrow!
Noor I have always lived within ten minutes of the Tennessee state line. I consider myself to have dual citizenship
Gratefully,
Christy
