Really? I have to admit that it's been a long time since I have had corn
bread but I always enjoyed it. It's just not a thing here.

I like cornbread and am a bit partial to the Northern 'yankee-type' due

Jiffy Mix is too sweet. Too much sugar in corn bread is cringe-worthy.
I went on a business trip to Boston years ago and met up with a good
friend (born and raised in Tennessee) who had relocated there after she
got married. We went to a pub to have a beer and they were handing out
free "cornbread". She said, "You won't like it." It was so sweet it
tasted like a piece of white cake sans frosting. She was right, I
didn't like it. I also never figured out why they were giving out free
cornbread.

They were giving away free cornbread because they bigtime
messed up their recipe and wanted to get rid of it but
didn't want to throw it away?? That's the only reason I
can come with.

I can see them giving it away as a promotion if they thought it was
good. I don't see much marketing value in giving away bad food because
people would be more likely to think all the other food is as bad. I
remember trying a sample of hummus in a grocery store and thinking it
was horrible. At the time I wondered why they would be giving it away
and that they would be better off to hope someone would buy it and not
realize how bad it was until they got home. You can't take food like
that bad just because you don't like it. I doubt that anyone who tried
the stuff would be inspired to buy it.

Beats me! Cornbread is not exactly what I would consider a "bar snack".
It wasn't like we were in a restaurant where they were going to serve
us a meal so they bring a basket of bread/rolls/cornbread to the table.
It was totally out of the blue. More like "here's some cornbread".
Yeah. That's not cornbread. LOL

Hehe, you are a purist on southern corn bread. Mom came from BYC so I
grew up on Yankee style. I can and have done the southern kind but
like better the jiffy sort. Unless they've upped the sugar a lot over
the years, it's not that sweet. I've had southern types that make your
teeth hurt, they are that sweet.

Been a typo prone day here. Canned. I was raised on canned cranberry

NEW YORK TIMES:

Trump Transition Live: Inauguration Weekend Kicks Off With Parties and
Protests

"Saturday's demonstration is called the People’s March. The movement
grew out of the Women's March, which began when hundreds of thousands of
people turned out a day after Donald Trump’s 2017 inauguration to rally
for women’s rights...

Saturday's march has a broader focus, with participants rallying around
reproductive rights, democracy and equality...

This march is expected to draw only several thousand people...

The majority are wearing the infamous bright pink "pussy hats"...

People’s March demonstrators are not alone downtown...

Hundred of people wearing MAGA hats in support of President-elect Donald
Trump have gathered on the sidewalks, taking selfies and jeering at the
protesters as they watch the march go by...

Maybe this could be a good thing? Maybe Trump could just deport the pussy

LOL, I got those once for a 'something new'. Grin, note 'once'. I can
see some might have them as an odd 'comfort food' from childhood. With
the right hot sauce they might hit the spot.

Here's an odd one of Mom's and a rare treat when growing up. Date
bread in a can, spread with philly cream cheese. I haven't seen it in
years.

we make Boston Brown bread fairly often, date nut bread is
also pretty good, but we don't make that as often, recently
dried cranberries have been substituted for the raisins in
the Boston Brown bread.

i like them all with or without butter, sometimes with
peanut butter for breakfast.

as to something i've not eaten often in the past 30 years
but Mom picked up a 12 pack of Spaghetti-O's with meatballs
which are not the best, but as something different and a
quick and filling meal it will do until they are gone.

her own meatballs and spaghetti sauce are much much better
for sure.

No. She used to use those chocolate cookies that were apparently
recently discontinued. She could crush them and mix them with something
for the crust.
She also used those chocolate cookies for a whipped cream dessert. She
just slathered whipped cream on the cookies and set them vertically in
two rows and then covered the whole thing with cream. It was sliced
diagonally to get the stripe effect. It was good when freshly made and
sometimes even batter after sitting and the cookies were softened.

My memory of Hyrox - more chocolate flavor, thinner and crispier
wafer than Oreo, not as greasy as Oreo. The few times I've eaten
Oreos, they were disappointing - and the double stuff Oreo . . .
once was one time too many.

if you like the chocolate cookies, but not the center
you can buy Stauffers chocolate animal crackers and they
are fine. we use them to make crusts with (putting the

this. The marshmallows are regular sized, not mini's and not jumbos.

There were no marshmallows in the grasshopper pies my mother used to
make. If there had been I would not have liked it as much as I did. They
were something I liked toasting when I was young but I quickly learned
to associate them with that horrible feeling I had after eating them

That being said, I still like Rice Crispy squares and I am often tempted
to get a bag of marshmallows and some Rice Krispies to make some.

No marshmallows in my grasshopper pie either. That's sounds
rather stomach lurching.

Dave, I was probably 7 years old. The cost of marshmallows vs. a jar of

Green bananas are what people here use to make pasteles and pastele
stew. We should be using plantains but we don't really have much of
those around here. That's okay, nobody's complaining.

Green bananas are often used by royalty as a natural dildo.

They're perfect for reaching the g spot in elderly menopausal monarchs.

Rice Crispy squares are the first recipe that I ever made. Within my
memory, they were way better than the commercial ones sold by Kellog
today.
Why? Because they were poorly mixed, made with real butter and cut
uneven by me!
I really ought to make them again. It's been seventy years, and it ain't
rocket science.

Northern cornbread mixes corn flour and white wheat flours. Also
usually uses more sugar. Southern uses less to no wheat flour and
usually more syrups or honey versus white sugar.

It's a blended line though.

Thank you! I think intuitively I'd go with the southern style. Not a fan

Southern style cornbread is dry and crumbly. It's made to accompany a
dish like chili or beans. Northern style is less dry. It's mostly made
to eat with another dish too. We eat chili with rice so we don't
normally eat chili and cornbread. Sometimes, I'll have coffee and
grilled cornbread for breakfast.

Oh?? I must be doing something wrong as my cornbread is
neither dry nor crumbly. It's cooked in a round skillet
and then sliced into wedges, then split open and LOTS of
butter is slathered in between. Butter melts in a flash,
after several seconds, the top half of that sliced wedge
is separated from the bottom half, picked up, and devoured.
Definitely not dry or crumbly even without copious amounts
of buttah.

Next time cornbread is on the menu I must have a talk
with the batter and the skillet to see what they're
doing wrong.

Sorry to disappoint you Clementine. I make cornbread just

it. It's just standard cornbread and who said anything about
flour or oil?? Bacon grease my love, bacon grease is the
lubricant of choice for cornbread. Mmmmmmm-mmmm
Now you know why cornbread in the south tastes so good.

I can possibly see why cornbread can be dry and crumbly.
Not enough liquid for the amount of cornmeal used, an
egg wasn't part of the batter and cooked too long.

I know what Southern cornbread is, missy. I've made it. I don't use
bacon grease because I don't eat a mess'o bacon. As far as I know, bacon
grease is oil. I know that Southern cornbread is made with little or no
flour. Big deal, you think you're the only person to cook cornbread in
cast iron, you think that you're the only one cut cornbread in half and
put butter on it. Wrong. I've made Southern style cornbread with no
flour and no sugar in cast iron. That nasty crumbly, dry, texture
certainly is a problem. All the bacon grease and sugar in Hawaii won't
change that.

You like your cornbread, that's fine and good. Vaya con Dios. Just don't
tell me that it ain't crumbly and dry. That insults my intelligence.

That's pretty ironic. A little boy is one of your personalities that
takes over when you can't handle real life. It's the one that keeps
gloating over Trump's victory. Hopefully, you'll find that one day you

psych doctor and get your disruptive affliction under control.
P.S., you don't need that Rogers hick either.

it. It's just standard cornbread and who said anything about
flour or oil?? Bacon grease my love, bacon grease is the
lubricant of choice for cornbread. Mmmmmmm-mmmm
Now you know why cornbread in the south tastes so good.
I can possibly see why cornbread can be dry and crumbly.
Not enough liquid for the amount of cornmeal used, an
egg wasn't part of the batter and cooked too long.

I know what Southern cornbread is, missy. I've made it. I don't use
bacon grease because I don't eat a mess'o bacon. As far as I know, bacon
grease is oil. I know that Southern cornbread is made with little or no
flour. Big deal, you think you're the only person to cook cornbread in
cast iron, you think that you're the only one cut cornbread in half and
put butter on it. Wrong. I've made Southern style cornbread with no
flour and no sugar in cast iron. That nasty crumbly, dry, texture
certainly is a problem. All the bacon grease and sugar in Hawaii won't
change that.
You like your cornbread, that's fine and good. Vaya con Dios. Just don't
tell me that it ain't crumbly and dry. That insults my intelligence.

Loosen up your BVD's as I'm here to tell you my cornbread and
the cornbread I've eaten in other people's homes AND restaurants
is not, definitely not dry, and crumbly.

The pictures of the cornbread in this site you posted looks like
it was baked in the Sahara Desert it's sooooo dry and unappealing
looks. Blech! This stuff looks like it would require either a
quart of milk or a quart of sweet tea just to get it down.

Oh??  I must be doing something wrong as my cornbread is
neither dry nor crumbly.  It's cooked in a round skillet
and then sliced into wedges, then split open and LOTS of
butter is slathered in between.  Butter melts in a flash,
after several seconds, the top half of that sliced wedge
is separated from the bottom half, picked up, and devoured.
Definitely not dry or crumbly even without copious amounts
of buttah.
Next time cornbread is on the menu I must have a talk
with the batter and the skillet to see what they're
doing wrong.

I've made Southern, Northern, and other cornbread. Your cornbread is not
normal. Perhaps you're using too much flour and/or oil.

Southern style cornbread is dry and crumbly. It's made to accompany a
dish like chili or beans. Northern style is less dry. It's mostly made
to eat with another dish too. We eat chili with rice so we don't
normally eat chili and cornbread. Sometimes, I'll have coffee and
grilled cornbread for breakfast.

I like, but hesitate to recommend, putting a pie-slice of cornbread on a
small serving plate, applying a thick coat of margarine or butter to the
top, squirting a load of Log Cabin Syrup on top of the mess and
microwaving for thirty seconds.
My wife refuses to try it.

For some reason that reminded me of my grandfather. One of his favourite
desserts was a bowl of maple syrup with bread and butter. He would eat
the maple syrup with a spoon and take an occasional bite of the bread
with butter.

[Mike Duffy]

I like [...] cornbread [...] a thick coat of margarine or butter

(1) The fact that you can use butter OR margarine with no
preference says more about your sense of taste than anything.

[...] a load of Log Cabin Syrup on top

(2) Update: Forget #(1) re your sense of taste.

[...] my grandfather. One of his favourite desserts
was a bowl of maple syrup with bread and butter.

If I leave leftover rice in the fridge, it's not too
long until my wife saves us from any incipient danger
via judicious application of maple syrup.

Oh, and I add butter to my rice, NEVER margarine.

She's probably a purist. She likes her cornbread split open,
a stick of butter smeared on the bottom portion and the top
slapped down on the butter to melt it. Once the top and bottom
are dripping with butter, then it's ready to eat. 😋

What's the difference between northern and southern style apart from
where it ends up?

Northern cornbread mixes corn flour and white wheat flours. Also
usually uses more sugar. Southern uses less to no wheat flour and
usually more syrups or honey versus white sugar.
It's a blended line though.

Thank you! I think intuitively I'd go with the southern style. Not a fan
of sugar, and I do use honey for sweetener. Let's see if I ever get around
to baking some myself. =)

My flawed understanding is that Northern uses sugar and Southern
doesn't. I use the recipe directly off an Albers box of cornmeal.

<https://alberscorn.com/albers-corn-bread/>

I always use a cast-iron 8 inch skillet instead of what Albers
recommends. When I skip the sugar, I call it "Southern Style" and stuff
it in a turkey. :)

There also exists Hawaiian cornbread. It's "cornbread" with very little
corn meal, a lot of sugar, and a lot of butter. My wife's friend gave me
the recipe when we were in college. The hand-off had a feeling of danger
to it. We met at a quiet corner of a Christian reading room and the
recipe was written on a sheet of yellow legal sized paper. Rather than
ripping the sheet out, she gave me the entire pad. She probably thought
the recipe was too important to rip out of the pad and fold up.

"Hawaiian Cornbread" did not come from Hawaii. Judging from the gal's
pale, blond, gawky, appearance and her conservative mainland style
dress, and the setting, I'm thinking it's from the Midwest or Utah or
some similar state heavy with old time religion. A land where Bisquick
is considered to be a staple.

The only thing I will say about making this is that you should not bake
this in a frying pan - unless you think that baking light cakes in a
frying pan is a thing.

As usual, it's the Hawaiians that will get the blame for this cake
that's considered to be an abomination in many parts of the United
States. People should just lighten up and learn how to relax.

Peter Thiel held a party for tech leaders and other power brokers in
Washington on Saturday.

https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/01/18/us/trump-inauguration-news#trump-party-peter-thiel-zuckerberg-vance

"The who’s who of Silicon Valley and Washington converged at Peter
Thiel’s Beaux-Arts mansion in D.C. on Saturday evening, as the power
brokers gathered in anticipation of the inauguration of President-elect
Donald J. Trump...

Mr. Thiel prides himself on his elaborate parties, and his inauguration
event, held in his seven-bedroom home, included a hired juggler who
rather than juggling, instead posed trivia questions to guests about
U.S. presidents...

Snack cakes and other appetizers were passed around, and larger bites
were served at stations...

The Mar-a-Lago station had shrimp, steak and salad with Thousand Island
dressing; there was also a food delivery from McDonald’s...

Gift bags were filled with small bottles of Moët champagne. There were,
of course, red MAGA hats..."
