@@cup_cuppy_cuppers5817 Sweet. I'm from Iowa, king of corn, that is how we do it. Half a cup a sugar in the recipe, sugar sprinkled on top as it bakes.
A couple of distinctions: Corn bread comes in two varieties, one sweet and one not. It’s usually not a starter but served with the meal. No one here would know what you mean by American barbecue. There is Texas barbecue, Kansas City barbecue, Memphis barbecue, two kinds of Carolina barbecue and maybe others I’m not thinking of. The flavors differ a lot. (BTW, what Brits call a barbecue, Americans call a cookout.)
My grandparents used to crumble it into buttermilk and eat it with a spoon. Maybe that was just hoecakes, but I think they did it with normal cornbread too.
@@CCoburn3 I like to make my cornbread with corn kernels, cream corn, and finely chopped Serrano peppers. Sometimes I add shredded, sharp cheddar cheese. After I pull it from the oven, I sprinkle the zest and juice from 1 lime on the top. And serve with soft butter and honey. 😋
I eat cornbread with Spaghetti, Greens, stews, beans; especially pinto, etc. You can put Chili in a cast iron pan and pour cornbread mixture over it and bake.
There are two types of sweet potato casserole. Our family doesn't do the marshmallow one any more. We've switched to the one with the brown sugar/pecan crumble on top.
You should give Vicky your mum in-law a challenge of trying to make some of the different types of American cornbread's because there's a variety of them such as Northern & Southern with the Northern types being sweet and the Southern being non-sweet savory, plus there's a number of other cornbread and corn flour items she can attempt like "Hushpuppies" which go with fried fish.
Pro-tip: Corn flour is a different thing in the US versus the UK. What the UK calls "corn flour" we call "cornstarch." In the US, corn flour is very finely milled dried corn -- not just the starchy part.
My favorite meal, that my Mom would always make when I was having a bad day, was Fried cornbread, black-eyed peas, and fried cabbage. I have missed it so much since she passed. I just can't do it justice like she did.
American barbecue is extremely regional. It varies from state to state and sometimes within a state. This is not even considering which animal that gets eaten, or if it's directly over the fire(roasting), or smoked(baked). Creamer is for people who don't like coffee, but drink it anyway.
I make mini cornbread muffins with shredded cheddar and chopped roasted jalapeños. I eat them as a snack. They freeze really well, so they are great when you are traveling.
We eat MOUNDS of cornbread with seasoned green beans and ham hocks cooked rather slowly in the crock pot (at LEAST 10 hours on low heat) - some dam good eating!
Buttered cornbread is great with seafood. It's good with beans that are cooked with salt pork (pork belly & pork sides) and seasoned well with pepper. Once the beans are cooked, mash some of them with a fork to thicken the liquid. Then cover the buttered cornbread with beans and the liquid. I have Pumpkin Pie on Thanksgiving and Christmas and occasionally at other times.
You and James should convince Vicki into opening up an American BBQ joint! 😝 Corn bread with chili or any stews really. It goes with butter. Some people even drizzle with both honey and butter as well. Whatever you fancy! Pumpkin pie with whipped cream on top. Or if you’re like my family they literally cover their entire pie slice with whipped cream (top, sides and all). **You can buy canned pumpkin filling but not sure if you have any available on your side of the world. Some people will use fresh grown pumpkin and bake it in the oven until softened and make pumpkin filling from scratch. The only thing you have to distinguish is that they grow pumpkin for Halloween carving and pumpkin for cooking/consumption. I use milk/half-n-half with my coffee.
The Wampanoag Indians gave the Pilgrims corn flour that they made into flat bread or tortillas, the Pilgrims gave them yeast. Hence cornbread, still consumed by both.
Cornbread goes really well with chili which ideal in the winter, like January or February for me personally so Christmas is more focused on the special Christmas treats we enjoy solely this time of year. However, you could have chili anytime of the year from camping or when the Autumn season arrives. Ironically some bbq mom and pop shops offers cornbread as a side for their bbq meals. Generally varies the region or cultural influence, some people can find an excuse to bring in cornbread.
My favorite as a Virginian, is Pinto beans, cornbread, fried potatoes and Virginia country ham. Never put sugar in cornbread. Thems muffins. You can take warm cornbread and put in in a waterglass and pour in cold milk. Eat it with a spoon. Great!
Sweet potato casserole is the same reason we think french fries and chocolate ice cream go so well. Cornbread like biscuits can be a starter, a dessert, part of a meal like bread, or a snack with a spread or dip, it's really versatile.
Sweet potato casserole can also be topped with a butter pecan crumble top instead of marshmallows. You can also put things within the casserole itself like pineapple chunks, pecans, etc.
I am not a fan of sweet potato casserole but I agree it would be better with candied /butter pecans......I personanly like sweet potato pie more than the casserole...so you are right to think it was a dessert, because it is a dessert :p I am glad I live in Texas, lots of BBQ :)
You have the right idea with cornbread: it’s perfect with soup, stew, or chile. It’s also great when mopping up the pot liquor from vegetables. Any leftovers also make an awesome bedtime snack when crumbled into a glass of cold milk.
One of my favorite meals I don't have very often is blackened peas with smoked meat, macaroni and cheese, collards with smoked sausage and jalapeno cornbread. Of course butter and honey on the cornbread
Just to clarify for The Beesleys: The first dish is called "black-eyed peas." I'm guessing that's what this person wrote, but the auto(in)correct changed it.
After you put your cornbread batter in the pan. You can use home made or store bought chili pour in a zig zag pattern and shredded cheese. What comes out is cornbread with chilli and cheese marbled inside.
Yep, "Creamer" is used instead of milk/cream in coffee and hot tea. A common and simple way to have cornbread is to crumble some in a cereal bowl, about the same amount as any cornflakes or any other dry cereal you would use and add milk. Dress it up like you would a bowl of cereal, with honey, fruit, preserves, jam, marmalade... etc. Heating up the milk to make a hot bowl of cornbread mush is common too. You could even use Coffee Creamer.
I prefer putting half n' half in my coffee, but many people put creamers in their coffee instead of milk. One of the attractions is the multiple flavors you can have - hazelnut, french vanilla, caramel, etc.
Vicki should make blackeyed peas and cornbread for new year's. We make it as well as Cabbage dishes for the new year. It's supposed to bring you luck throughout the year. I haven't really ever believed the good luck bit but it's a fun tradition. Some restaurants offer blackeyed peas as a good luck side dish on New Year's Day. And cornbread (savory, not sweet cornbread) goes great with it.
Before the fancy creamers, we used milk or half and half (cream and milk) with or without sugar. Then the “International Coffee” line was introduced, which was instant coffee mixed with powdered creamer and other flavors. Cocoa, caramel and others. Just add hot water. After the espresso drinks became popular, the fancy creamers were developed which were reminiscent of the espresso drinks, but you added them to your own coffee at home. I’ve gone back the other way and started adding milk along with (less) creamer to my coffee, when I don’t drink it black. I don’t enjoy it as sweet any longer.
Cornbread = served warm, just with a smear of butter. Don't overcomplicate things. Punkin pie = strictly an autumn thing. Coffee creamer = ya got yer powder creamers, ya got yer liquid creamers, but good old milk always works... American BBQ = there ain't no such thing-- it's "Carolina BBQ," "Kansas City BBQ," "Texas BBQ,' etc. A bit like "Italian food," "Chinese food", saying the name of the country tells you nothing about the regional variations.
Cornbread can be either sweet or savory depending upon where you’re at in the United States. In my family we have savory cornbread served alongside chili, soups, and beans in particular. It’s also popular crumbled into a glass of cold milk as almost like a dessert.
The best sweet potatoe casserole has a streusel topping with pecans butter brown sugar and flour ., Then you bake that so it gets crunchy , I add a handful of miniature marshmallows to that and let it crisp up , then add more marshmallows to the top and bake till they’re brown , because you know how good they are !
Corn bread . We eat with soup and chili and with beans . White beans , northern beans are the best with ham. In it . Cooked in a crockpot . We eat corn bread with it . Some people crumble it in , some serve the beans on top , I eat mine buttered on the side . But we also have corn bread casserole which is so good you need to try it and it’s easy to do . Search corn bread casseroles and see what you find ! We like easy cheap food lol
There are different kinds of barbecue in the US, and there's a lot of regional and even state pride and tradition attached to them. Some use dry rubs, some use sauces, which can be sweet ones, tomato ones, vinegar ones, mustard-based ones, etc. Also, the main meats can vary, like beef in Texas and pork in the South, for example, although it can be anything anywhere depending on what people like/want. Typically the meat is slow-cooked at low temperature over wood chips of various kinds that add to the flavor, so it's incredibly tender - doing it right is an art form. I think "American barbecue" is kind of an umbrella term for a general type of food, rather than a particular dish with specific ingredients.
Cornbread can be eaten as part of an appetizer, or with your main course. It goes especially well with Chili. It can be eaten plain, with butter, or drizzled with honey. You could even top it with gravy or jam { not recommended }.
I hope all these great food experiences help with the food fear. No need to be afraid of eating something. Just try it and the worst that can happen is you don’t really like the flavor. Nothing dangerous will happen. Unless it’s puffer fish. Don’t eat that.
Lots of us do not put marshmallows on Sweet potato casserole. We put a streusel topping made of a bit of flour, and equal amounts of brown sugar and cold butter and scatter it on top of it.
I used International Brand , Irish Cream Creamer, in my coffee . Many flavors and you can at certain small stores that sell coffee with little packs of creamers for free .
We have cornbread with chili typically or some kind of beans.., or we eat it warm from the oven with butter and a drizzle of honey. Don't be shocked but my family does not use marshmallows on our sweet potato casserole. It is topped with brown sugar and pecans but no marshmallow. Pumpkin, sweet potato and pecan pie for my family is typically just fall/winter pie and not other seasons. Americans do grill items but bbq is a different item altogether. Creamer is used for coffee or sometimes hot tea but it is not a milk substitute for us.
Half and half is half milk and half cream. Creamer usually means a premade nondairy mixture that amounts to a replacement for milk, sweetener, and usually flavorings (like hazelnut) for coffee.
One Thanksgiving, my uncle took a slice of every pie, which I remember to be 12 completing a full pie on his plate. He ate every bit after a full Thanksgiving meal!
I eat sweet potato casserole like dessert. You can eat it anyway you want honey! 😂 Yes creamer instead of milk. Creamers here are banned in the UK because of some of the ingredients. Probably should be here too!!! 😂
You embrace our foods better than I, an American, do! 😊 I don’t eat sweet potato casserole, and I’ve always hated corn bread. One of my favourite “I’m an idiot” moments was that it took me until I was 11 or 12 to realise why I hated corn dogs so much. I would always rip off “this nasty bread stuff they put on it”. Um…you mean the corn bread? On the CORN dog? Never occurred to me that it was corn bread. I thought the name came from it being sort of shaped like corn on the cob. 🤦🏼♀️
Cornbread is good with soups, stews, beans or just with butter. No sweet stuff with it. My dad liked pouring milk over crumbled cornbread and eating it that way.
I used to get Cornbread at Boston Market with a half roast chicken and a couple sides (like creamed spinach / mac and cheese, etc) Boston Market had take out ready to eat food. It may have gone out of business. I would put butter on the cornbread usually.
I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but there are two styles of cornbread. Northern cornbread has a lot of white flour and is sweet, like cake, and has somewhat the same consistency. Southern cornbread goes from some white flour and additives like peppers or kernel corn to Johnny cakes, which are just meal, egg, milk, salt, and baking powder, fried like pancakes in bacon fat. None of it is sweet. We had Johnny cakes with beans, chili, beef stew, etc. For other meals, there was about a 2/1 ratio of Corn meal to white flour, with the egg, salt, milk, and baking powder, which was poured into a hot cast iron skillet coated in bacon fat and fried to make a crust, and then flipped (a tricky maneuver I never got the hang of, but my grandma could accomplish without spilling a drop) then baked through in the oven. I'm from Texas, BTW.
Its been my experience that cornbread is more of a Southern thing...up in the Pacific Northwest not so much. I'll eat it but if I had my choice I'd choose an old fashioned biscuit.
Corn bread would go well with w bowl of chili. It can be paired with with many things. In many places people have corn bread and beans it I often pinto beans usually coked with a ham bone..
"creamer" is non-dairy - usually a soybean derivative - used in lieu of milk or cream in locations with no refrigeration. I think it's awful and would rather drink black coffee than use creamer. If you go to a restaurant and they serve creamer, just get up politely and go elsewhere! I see it most often in offices or gas stations. They come in all these awful flavors, too - yuk!
You were given corn muffins, you can have plain corn muffins, blue berry or chocolate chip you can have all toasted. I would only add jelly and butter to the corn muffin.
I've never had jam with cornbread. It would be weird, but it might be all right? Don't want to yuck your yum, but I've never heard of anyone having jam with corn bread. I'm not a fan of super sweet cornbread. Butter for sure!!
We love cornbread.. We cut the individual piece of cornbread in half so we can slather it with butter in the middle. We eat cornbread with stuffed green peppers, or sauerkraut or green bean shell outs, or. any cooked cabbage dish , bean soups. The list goes on and on. My Dad liked to eat a slice of cornbread with a glass of buttermilk for a snack.
You can't fool me. You're really Charlisse Leger-Walker. English foods most Americans have never tried or heard of: Toad in the hole Bubble and Squeak Pork n Beans for breakfast Spotted Dick Black Pudding Scotch Eggs Kippers Pie and mash Steak and Kidney pie (coffee creamer is something some Americans use. I stopped drinking cream or anything like it in my coffee when I was 18 years old. Used it for about 4 months is all. Gotta be black coffee for me and many other Americans feel the same way. I want the taste of strong coffee not cream, I am suspicious of people that put cream in their already perfect cup of coffee)
We make cornbread to go with chili. Vicki might love making chili and cornbread. I am an American who only likes savory sweet potato dishes- I have never liked the weird sweet casserole or even the pie. Same with anything pumpkin- I groan when pumpkin spice season hits. I make cherry or blueberry pie (vanilla ice cream only!) and pineapple upside down cake for Thanksgiving because I like those so much better. Black coffee only.
We usually make corn muffins rather than corn bread. If they are warm, cut in half and smear on butter which melts into the muffin. Will also eat them with honey. Like them with chili. I think powdered creamer is used because it doesn't need refrigeration. I will use creamer to make hot cocoa mix instead of (on in addition to) powdered milk. Not a fan of pumpkin pie. Prefer fruit pies (especially peach) or lemon meringue pie.
It's quite easy to make cornbread. For southern style (like Cracker Barrel), first put some shortening in a cast-iron pan and put it the oven as it heats. When making the batter, omit the sugar (with sugar is northern style). Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven, swirl the melted shortening around, and pour in the batter. Bake at 425 F/218 C for 20 minutes. Eat it hot with lots of butter (but no jam or other sweet topping) as a side with your meal. (By the way, most restaurants in the US serve bread, whether dinner rolls, cornbread, etc., first, before the food comes out. It's complimentary and you can ask for more at no cost.) My mom was from southern Mississippi, and she always saved a piece to crumble in a bowl to eat with milk poured over it, as she ate that as a child growing up during the Great Depression. As mentioned elsewhere, it's an especially good side for chili, as well as for ham, green beans and potatoes, or even crumbled into tomato soup.
Creamer is just for coffee. There's no other use for it. There is also half & half and light cream, both are dairy can be used for coffee and cooking. Dairy is not only milk from cows but oat milk, almond milk and lactose free which is cows milk.
Yes, creamer is used instead of milk. Your can get a flavored creamer and that will alter/enhance the taste of your coffee as well. Also i don't see a lot of Americans doing this but you can put creamer or milk in your tea as well. My family who is fun the south introduced that to me as a child. It's sinilar to thai tea but I've only ran into one other person outside my family that does that. I only drink coffee to stay awake but i drink tea because i one the taste. My family ate more tea (cold and hot) drinker.
A lot of people use creamer either because it's shelf stable and doesn't need to be refrigerated, or they have lactose issues. I don't like it, because it's mostly corn syrup.
I've never seen creamer on the shelf, except for the non-dairy powdered creamer. I don't use that stuff unless it's all that's available. I'm pretty sure she means the flavored creamers in the refrigerated section. That's the only kind I buy and it's made with real cream.
@debbsc5176 I think "creamer" typically means non-dairy creamer, not half and half, although I have found some shelf stable half and half packets in the grocery store too. But yeah, non-dairy creamer is not my favorite.
Creamer is for coffee....thick and creamy unlike milk which waters coffee down
French Vanilla for me.
Cornbread goes with Texas beans with brisket and any American chili
And just put butter on it. No jelly, eeek

Have your cornbread as a side dish to accompany barbequed pork ribs. Eat the cornbread with a small bit of butter and honey topping each bite.
Pecan, pumpkin, and sweetpotato pies are always at our Thanksgiving.
I hope all these great food experiences help with the food fear. No need to be afraid of eating something. Just try it and the worst that can happen is you don’t really like the flavor. Nothing dangerous will happen. Unless it’s puffer fish. Don’t eat that.

Corn bread with ham and beans is a favorite of mine. Also warm cornbread with butter and a little honey is really good.
Black eyed peas, smoked ham hock and cornbread 👍
corn bread with chili or beef stew.
Sweet or savory cornbread?
You can always beg Mr. H to make ya'll some barbeque.
Baked sweet potato with butter, brown sugar and cinnamon is delicious!
We have those pies all year long. It's just mostly popular during the holiday's.
We have cornbread with chili typically or some kind of beans.., or we eat it warm from the oven with butter and a drizzle of honey. Don't be shocked but my family does not use marshmallows on our sweet potato casserole. It is topped with brown sugar and pecans but no marshmallow. Pumpkin, sweet potato and pecan pie for my family is typically just fall/winter pie and not other seasons. Americans do grill items but bbq is a different item altogether. Creamer is used for coffee or sometimes hot tea but it is not a milk substitute for us.
Never heard of it for tea myself. I could see half and half for people who like hot tea with cream, which few people do.
Few people in the US I meant. 🤦🏻♂️
Half and half is half milk and half cream. Creamer usually means a premade nondairy mixture that amounts to a replacement for milk, sweetener, and usually flavorings (like hazelnut) for coffee.
@@JustMe-dc6ks Hi. I'm few people. LOL I do like hot tea (Earl Grey, English or Irish Breakfast) with sugar and milk or cream.
Nothing wrong with eating sweet potato casserole for dessert.
I consider it a dessert because for me, it just does'nt fit with the rest of the meal.
If you want to eat your sweet potato casserole with ice cream, go for it.
One Thanksgiving, my uncle took a slice of every pie, which I remember to be 12 completing a full pie on his plate. He ate every bit after a full Thanksgiving meal!
😂 wow! I’m afraid to ask how he fared that night…
I eat sweet potato casserole like dessert. You can eat it anyway you want honey! 😂
Yes creamer instead of milk. Creamers here are banned in the UK because of some of the ingredients. Probably should be here too!!! 😂
Corn bread with honey, or butter or even mix it in with some chili. I would always crumble it up and add it to bean stew.
You embrace our foods better than I, an American, do! 😊 I don’t eat sweet potato casserole, and I’ve always hated corn bread. One of my favourite “I’m an idiot” moments was that it took me until I was 11 or 12 to realise why I hated corn dogs so much. I would always rip off “this nasty bread stuff they put on it”. Um…you mean the corn bread? On the CORN dog? Never occurred to me that it was corn bread. I thought the name came from it being sort of shaped like corn on the cob. 🤦🏼♀️
Cornbread is good with soups, stews, beans or just with butter. No sweet stuff with it. My dad liked pouring milk over crumbled cornbread and eating it that way.
I used to get Cornbread at Boston Market with a half roast chicken and a couple sides (like creamed spinach / mac and cheese, etc) Boston Market had take out ready to eat food. It may have gone out of business. I would put butter on the cornbread usually.
I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but there are two styles of cornbread. Northern cornbread has a lot of white flour and is sweet, like cake, and has somewhat the same consistency. Southern cornbread goes from some white flour and additives like peppers or kernel corn to Johnny cakes, which are just meal, egg, milk, salt, and baking powder, fried like pancakes in bacon fat. None of it is sweet. We had Johnny cakes with beans, chili, beef stew, etc. For other meals, there was about a 2/1 ratio of Corn meal to white flour, with the egg, salt, milk, and baking powder, which was poured into a hot cast iron skillet coated in bacon fat and fried to make a crust, and then flipped (a tricky maneuver I never got the hang of, but my grandma could accomplish without spilling a drop) then baked through in the oven.
I'm from Texas, BTW.
We have corn bread with butter on it with chili and taco soup. If we are doing a huge mexican spread with tacos, etc, I make corn bread.
Buttered cornbread with honey is really good.
Vast majority of Americans love pie
Its been my experience that cornbread is more of a Southern thing...up in the Pacific Northwest not so much. I'll eat it but if I had my choice I'd choose an old fashioned biscuit.
Soup beans and cornbread....yum Plenty of apalachia recipies online. This would be a good one for mum to try.
You can also eat your cornbread like a hot dinner roll with butter & drizzle honey over it.
Corn bread, buttered with maple syrup.
Corn bread would go well with w bowl of chili. It can be paired with with many things. In many places people have corn bread and beans it I often pinto beans usually coked with a ham bone..
"creamer" is non-dairy - usually a soybean derivative - used in lieu of milk or cream in locations with no refrigeration. I think it's awful and would rather drink black coffee than use creamer. If you go to a restaurant and they serve creamer, just get up politely and go elsewhere! I see it most often in offices or gas stations. They come in all these awful flavors, too - yuk!
In Louisiana in the 60's my mother made sweet potato pie in lieu of pumpkin pie. Very similar look, taste and texture. Ya'll should try that too.
I hate anything with pumpkin in it. Yes it's good for you, but I hate the taste....Dallas, Texas
Millie, most people use cream or milk in coffee. Only people who don't like milk/cream use some sort of substitute creamer.
You were given corn muffins, you can have plain corn muffins, blue berry or chocolate chip you can have all toasted. I would only add jelly and butter to the corn muffin.
Yes, creamer replaces milk. Nice Jammies, Archie.
I've never had jam with cornbread. It would be weird, but it might be all right? Don't want to yuck your yum, but I've never heard of anyone having jam with corn bread. I'm not a fan of super sweet cornbread. Butter for sure!!
Some people make pumpkin pie from fresh pumpkin but most start with canned pumpkin. Would love for Vicky to make one.
We love cornbread.. We cut the individual piece of cornbread in half so we can slather it with butter in the middle. We eat cornbread with stuffed green peppers, or sauerkraut or green bean shell outs, or. any cooked cabbage dish , bean soups. The list goes on and on. My Dad liked to eat a slice of cornbread with a glass of buttermilk for a snack.
You can't fool me. You're really Charlisse Leger-Walker.
English foods most Americans have never tried or heard of:
Toad in the hole
Bubble and Squeak
Pork n Beans for breakfast
Spotted Dick
Black Pudding
Scotch Eggs
Kippers
Pie and mash
Steak and Kidney pie
(coffee creamer is something some Americans use. I stopped drinking cream or anything like it in my coffee when I was 18 years old. Used it for about 4 months is all. Gotta be black coffee for me and many other Americans feel the same way. I want the taste of strong coffee not cream, I am suspicious of people that put cream in their already perfect cup of coffee)
As far as I know, we only use coffee creamers in coffee. But I'm sure other recipes are out there for using it i other things. But primarily, coffee.
Born an raised American here, Chili & cornbread, but if alone, butter and honey :D 100%
We make cornbread to go with chili. Vicki might love making chili and cornbread.
I am an American who only likes savory sweet potato dishes- I have never liked the weird sweet casserole or even the pie. Same with anything pumpkin- I groan when pumpkin spice season hits. I make cherry or blueberry pie (vanilla ice cream only!) and pineapple upside down cake for Thanksgiving because I like those so much better. Black coffee only.
We usually make corn muffins rather than corn bread. If they are warm, cut in half and smear on butter which melts into the muffin. Will also eat them with honey. Like them with chili.
I think powdered creamer is used because it doesn't need refrigeration. I will use creamer to make hot cocoa mix instead of (on in addition to) powdered milk.
Not a fan of pumpkin pie. Prefer fruit pies (especially peach) or lemon meringue pie.
It's quite easy to make cornbread. For southern style (like Cracker Barrel), first put some shortening in a cast-iron pan and put it the oven as it heats. When making the batter, omit the sugar (with sugar is northern style). Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven, swirl the melted shortening around, and pour in the batter. Bake at 425 F/218 C for 20 minutes. Eat it hot with lots of butter (but no jam or other sweet topping) as a side with your meal. (By the way, most restaurants in the US serve bread, whether dinner rolls, cornbread, etc., first, before the food comes out. It's complimentary and you can ask for more at no cost.) My mom was from southern Mississippi, and she always saved a piece to crumble in a bowl to eat with milk poured over it, as she ate that as a child growing up during the Great Depression. As mentioned elsewhere, it's an especially good side for chili, as well as for ham, green beans and potatoes, or even crumbled into tomato soup.
Creamer is just for coffee. There's no other use for it. There is also half & half and light cream, both are dairy can be used for coffee and cooking. Dairy is not only milk from cows but oat milk, almond milk and lactose free which is cows milk.
Corn bread can go great with a Ham and Bean soup.
We use both milk and creamer in our coffees...yes more videos about American food
I've even put creamer in my cereal milk for something different.
Milk is good in tea but unheard of in coffee. Experiment with creamer it will make sense quickly ❤
Yes, creamer is used instead of milk. Your can get a flavored creamer and that will alter/enhance the taste of your coffee as well. Also i don't see a lot of Americans doing this but you can put creamer or milk in your tea as well. My family who is fun the south introduced that to me as a child. It's sinilar to thai tea but I've only ran into one other person outside my family that does that. I only drink coffee to stay awake but i drink tea because i one the taste. My family ate more tea (cold and hot) drinker.
A lot of people use creamer either because it's shelf stable and doesn't need to be refrigerated, or they have lactose issues. I don't like it, because it's mostly corn syrup.
I've never seen creamer on the shelf, except for the non-dairy powdered creamer. I don't use that stuff unless it's all that's available. I'm pretty sure she means the flavored creamers in the refrigerated section. That's the only kind I buy and it's made with real cream.
@debbsc5176 I think "creamer" typically means non-dairy creamer, not half and half, although I have found some shelf stable half and half packets in the grocery store too. But yeah, non-dairy creamer is not my favorite.
