Cornbread?

[dragnlaw]

In Quebec there are two Coleslaws, creamy and vinegar. Which one are you referring to? I like both but think I prefer the creamy.

And good is a bit ambiguous, no? One man's good is another man's blech!

I always wondered if people that don't like Cole Slaw or Corn Bread ever had good Coleslaw or Cornbread.

If you don't like cabbage, it doesn't matter how good the cole slaw is. If you're a southerner, you won't like Yankee cornbread, only the cornbread popular in the South.

I don't make cornbread too often, just occasionally with things it goes with, like bean soup. But for things like chili, and similar Mexican flavored things, I'm not serving corn tortillas with, I'll make some with a third or a quarter of masa harina, for the dry ingredients, to get that delicious flavor. There's a masa harina made for tamales, that's a coarser grind and better for this, but I don't want to buy a 5 lb bag of it, as seldom as I use it.

I am inclined to say 'yes.'

Well, people who don't like cats would OBVIOUSLY adore *my* cats, right? Same has to hold true with cole slaw and cornbread.

I do not know what Cole Slaw has to do with corn bread. But I do not care how good corn bread is I still do not like it. Taste is a very personal thing and it really doesn't matter how good any product might be in your (general, not you personally) opinion, it is not good in my opinion. For example majority Americans I have met do not like caviar. I do not know any, any, Russian that doesn't like the caviar.

Incidentally, i like coleslaw pretty much in any form. I simply like cabbage.

Maybe someday we can discuss how I feel about all cats.

Never trust anyone who doesn’t like cats.

Ever get the feeling you're being ignored?

No. That wasn't a remark I was expecting to be answered.

No. That wasn't a remark I was expecting to be answered.

The context of that remark is cats ignore us. All of us. It's a joke.

A friend of mine, a big foodie, gave me a recipe for cornbread that is, by far, the best and is truly Southern plus, as someone has already mentioned, southerners do not put sugar in their cornbread. Taboo, for sure.

The creator of this recipe is a lady called Edna Lewis and has my respect for the best cornbread I've ever made/eaten.

Here's a link to it: https://www.thekitchn.com/corn-bread-edna-lewis-23099603

Plus, here's a little tidbit about the lady herself:

Edna Lewis’ cornbread recipe is included in her “Morning-After-Hog-Butchering Breakfast” menu in ‘The Taste of Country Cooking’. “Hog killing was one of the special events of the year and generally took place in December,” she writes in the introduction. Other recipes in the menu include oven-cooked fresh bacon, country-fried apples, wild strawberry preserves, and plenty of coffee.

Thanks for the recipe. I think I’ve made it before.

Edna Lewis was one of the most esteemed chefs in America. I have a couple of her cookbooks.

She founded the Society for the Revival and Preservation of Southern Food.

Her friendship with Scott Peacock is a story for the ages.

“Throughout the 1990s, she won several awards (see below) and befriended a chef named Scott Peacock, after meeting him while he was a cook in the Georgia Governor's Mansion in 1990.The two formed a deep friendship, with Lewis moving to Atlanta to be near Peacock in 1992,and they eventually collaborated on the book The Gift of Southern Cooking (2003).Their long standing friendship – and seemingly at odds personas (he – a younger, gay European American man and she – an older, widowed African American woman) resulted in them being referred to as "The Odd Couple of Southern Cooking". For the rest of her life, Lewis and Peacock would work together to try and ensure that classic Southern dishes and details would not be forgotten – as they were both deeply dedicated to the preservation of Southern cooking. As Lewis aged, Peacock would go on to become her caretaker up until her death in 2006.”

I feel exactly the same way about my ex-wife.

Ignored but not forgotten. I have patience.
