I LOVE CORNBREAD AND MILK,REGULAR OR BUTTERMILK BUT WHAT IS GOOD IS SOME FRIED POTATOES WITH IT AND OF COURSE SOME ONION I PREFER SWEET ONION,GOD BLESS AND STAY SAFE
I do not ear cornbread and milk, but my mama did. She loved it, but one time with my second pregnancy I would eat cornbread and buttermilk. That lasted about a month, then not again have I had any.lol
Yup. Poor folks did what they could with the little they had. My aunt used to tell how she'd roast a wild onion over the fire just to have something sweet.
Daughter of a WV coal miner, a childhood memory is that mom always saved a big piece of corn bread for Dad to eat with milk when he got home late from working 2nd shift. In the quiet house, I can remember hearing his spoon hit the glass as he ate it before going on to bed❤️
Cornbread and buttermilk was one of my Mom’s favorite meals. She’s been gone for a couple of years and this post brought back so many wonderful and warm memories of her and my incredible childhood. We grew up on the land and I wouldn’t trade my childhood for all the money in the world. I miss her every day and wish I could have one more day with her. My memories of our time together are my legacy.
My mama used to eat buttermilk and cornbread at night. She called the cornbread a " pone" , regular milk was " sweet milk" , and white bread was " light bread". It brings sweet memories to hear all these things again. Thank you , God bless
I heard mom say the same thing and when we went to Grandmama's and grandaddy's in the Smokeys, we always had cornbread with buttermilk or sweet milk. Oh, I would love to hear mom say "sweet milk and " white bread again. Thanks for bringing back some great memories.
My granny's handwritten cornbread recipe is one of my most treasured family heirlooms. She was from White City,Alabama and lived to 97. Her recipe used lots of butter and no sugar. If you wanted it sweet we would pour molasses on it. My entire childhood my grandfather would mix that cornbread with a glass of buttermilk. I miss them both every day
How awesome that you kept her recipe. I have some recipes from my mother in law wish I had more from other departed loved ones. My Mom and I would always have corn bread and milk for breakfast anytime there was leftover cornbread especially if it had gotten stale or dried out. We were somewhat poor back then and beans, potatoes, biscuits, and cornbread were the main foods we could afford back then. My Mom liked buttermilk, but I preferred sweet milk.
My 85 year old dad was talking about cornbread and milk when we talked Sunday. Then this video appears in my feed. I always thought that was just something he did.
i use to sit on the old front porch with my grandfather and eat, cornbread and milk, we talked about everything, I sure do miss him. He also use to give me when i was small and had a bad cough, he would mix up moonshine, lemon juice,and pepper mint candy in a mason jar.
If I had only one meal left to eat...it would be Granny’s beans and cornbread with some fried apples and some fried sweet potatoes. Oh what great memories and fun times!! Thanks Tipper!!
When I was little and stayed over, my grandmother would often fix baked apples as a treat, very simple, warm, and tasty. Your post reminded me of that. Gosh, I miss her.
@@benw9949 it’s wonderful to have those memories. I adored my grandmother and miss her as well. I don’t cry because it’s over, I smile because I got to be a part of it. ☺️
Hello I will always think of my dad & grandmother when I eat cornbread soup beans ❤️ one of my favorite meals I never ate corn bread and milk Don’t know why ? Pops liked his with sweet milk Mamaw liked hers with buttermilk Dad went to heaven this past Easter and when I saw your video My heart was filled with memories of mom , dad and our family ❤️🙏❤️ There from St Paul Va & Bristol Thanks for your awesome videos Best wishes Brenda
I love how moved you were by the story at the end it is definitely touching. I am a weird hybrid fully raised in the north with half my family from NC. I do remember my Grandma making dirty rice w/ fatback and greens, cornbread with southern fried steak and everything covered in gravy. Just thinking back reminds me of my Great Aunt too, speaking as fast as an Auctioneer saying “tell ya wot” every third word and uh-huh. All my Southern Family members that lived up here, always had a pot of greens ready to serve the minute you walked into their home. 😊
My mammaw loved cornbread and buttermilk, at the end of her life if I couldn’t get her to eat anything else, she would always eat cornbread and buttermilk. I miss her!
My mom would cook cornmeal like you would grits, and called it mush. She would take a spoonful and dip it into milk. I ate mine with a pat of butter. She always cooked extra and put it in a loaf pan and sliced it the next day and fried it and we put syrup over it. Was so good.
For years I thought we were having 'mush' but Mom would boil a pork roast, put it in the frige overnight, skim off the fat in the morning, shred a little of the meat, cook the cornmeal in the broth, then put it in the loaf pan like you said and fry it crisp and have it with eggs. She put syrup on hers then I found out later it was called Scrapple. lol
Mary C, we grew up in a Northern Italian house.. polenta (pretty much grits) was a staple. Yes, sliced the next day, then heated up and in a bowl with milk and a touch of sugar for breakfast😋. Simple, good meal, and great memories.
My mom was an orphan from Savannah, Georgia and she had memories of eating cornbread in buttermilk when she was very young. When she went back to visit Georgia as an adult, she had to ask the locals if she had only dreamed about eating cornbread in buttermilk or if she had imagined it.
I can remember my aunt cooking up some cabbage and bacon for dinner, and on the side she had a glass of cornbread and milk. That was the first time I had ever seen anybody eat it but that was also when I first learned it was a pretty common meal back in the day.
My dad told of many suppers as a boy on the farm that were homemade bread dipped in fresh milk. This was of course after grandma had worked all day in the cotton field and the garden. I’m surprised she had the energy for that! What with seven kids and grandpa working off the farm.
The power of suggestion is so great, I swaney I could smell that cornbread baking in the oven! I remember when I was young a dear neighbor lady who always started preparing her supper early in the afternoon as her husband would be home by around 3:30 or so. She always had cornbread and in the summer all the doors and windows would be open so that the smell of that cornbread would waft around all over the place. More good memories you bring, thanks Tipper!
Wow, this hits very close to home. If I was staying with granny we’d have us an afternoon snack of cornbread and buttermilk. Depending on granny’s mood, if she was ornery she’d salt the buttermilk, but if she was feeling good she’d make it my favorite with molasses mixed into the milk...talk about good.. Make ya curl your toes!!!
As sure as we had cornbread growing up Daddy would have a glass of sweet milk with cornbread in it that evening. We also ate it with buttermilk. And if there was no cornbread, saltine crackers in a glass with buttermilk is also good. Dad would go into the garden before supper and pull his green onions to go with supper because they were a must. Especially with beans and cornbread. And he never wanted sugar in his cornbread like some people do. He said "If I wanted cake I would have asked for cake! lol" Sweet memories of a happy childhood call me back home when I think of these things. So often food is tied to love in our memory.Thank you for another great video. God Bless!
Yes, yes, yes, yes! I love cornbread and milk, buttermilk or sweet milk. Too this wonderful meal, I would add sliced onions or tomatoes. We often had this meal as our "only meal" and were thankful to have it. This video has taken me back to my childhood. Many wonderful memories. Thank you. Jeri Whittaker
I can't tell you just how much watching all of your videos has touched my heart. We really do have so much in common, Tipper, and it's a joy to see other's relishing our culture, our traditions and even our sayings and foods. It's all a part of the whole that makes up Appalachia. My husband has been watching these with me, he grew up really hard up in a coal tipple holler and their family lost their home to the great flood of 1970 here in SW Virginia. Cornbread and milk was very often their supper. His daddy worked in "scab" mines mostly, never a union mine, and dug coal on his knees. It was backbreaking work for the pittance he earned to feed a family with 7 children. He watched this one and had to get up and "go get him a snack"... of course it was cornbread and buttermilk. But I think he needed to go wipe his eyes, too. Lord how his daddy loved to go to the garden and just pull up some fresh onions and peel them on the way up to the house. He'd be grinning and munching on that fresh onion all the way to the back porch. Sweet sweet memories....
You brought back so many memories! My Dad pastored the same church for 54 years. We would always eat supper early, especially on church nights because Dad didn’t want to get in the pulpit with a full stomach. He joked about the preacher who got up and said, “And Peter said unto them......BUUURP.”😂 He didn’t want to be that guy! He also joked that, that way, we’d have time for another meal before bedtime. Many times our meal consisted of cornbread and either pinto beans or cabbage or homemade soup. My Dad would finish it off with a big glass of cornbread (crumbled first, of course) and buttermilk. My friends didn’t eat that way so I was embarrassed. Youth is wasted on the young! Now I love those foods. My Dad’s early years were spent in the foothills of the Ozarks. His grandfather was an old circuit-rider preacher. Meals were a time for fellowship and music, which remained a large part of his life.
Bowl full of crumbled cornbread with sweet milk poured on top. Lots of wonderful memories of my momma's cornbread. No one can make it like she could. How I wish she could make me another pan of it.
I've never been one for milk unless it's cultured like cheese, yogurt or sour cream. But, I'll never turn down some cornbread and have even been known to mix it into vanilla ice cream a time or two! Thank you for taking the time to bring us together once again.
I really enjoyed this video. I am in my 50"s and I grew up in southern Ohio about 25 miles north of the Ohio river. Most of my family and neighbors were from Kentucky and West Virginia. We all ate cornbread and milk regularly. We were taught to add sugar to ours and I still eat it like that today. It's kind of a dessert snack. Thanks for sharing your memories, I thought everyone loved cornbread and milk. The one's who don't have never tried it!😀
It is so interesting to me all the traditions that you have that my family also enjoys. We are in Dallas, Texas. I did not like cornbread and buttermilk when I was little. I love it now. I am blessed to have my Nanny's cornbread skillet.
As i listen, it is very interesting. My grandma is 96. She hated cornbread as that was all they could afford in the 30s. White bread was such a luxury. But man... She makes the best cornbread in the world!
When my twin boys were near about 2 years old they were just getting used to solid food. I made a cake of cornbread for dinner one fall night. I cut a slice up and mashed it with some sweet milk in a small bowl. Those boys cleaned the bowl. My wife, hadn't heard of the combination before but I told her how it was something that always helped me sleep. Those two had no trouble sleeping that night I can tell you. I always add the milk afterward and just a drop or two of honey two sweeten it a might.
Hello Tipper! I was raised on cornbread and milk that's for sure... it was a staple that we country folk had with almost every meal and some meals were nothing more than cornbread and milk particularly of an evening. Thank you again for celebrating Appalachia and helping to conserve and spread the word on our decency, love of Country and God and one another! God Bless!
I was eight years old, back in '54, when we got our first television. Mom would have a skillet of hot cornbread fresh from the oven, ready for her brood to get off the school bus. First thing we did was crumble the cornbread into glasses, pour fresh sweet milk over it, then go plop down on the floor in front of the television, and gobble up our 'before supper' snack. Then Mom made another skillet of cornbread to go with the soup beans and fried potatoes for our supper. Food fit for a queen! Thanks for stirring up the memories! ❤
Love cornbread and milk. I crumble it in a glass if I'm having sweet milk with it...but if I have buttermilk I drink the milk and eat the cornbread with it. My parents and grandparents all ate it. Soooo good!
Wow, Tipper. I used to watch my daddy eat cornbread that way except he would use buttermilk. He grew up in the 20's & 30's down in Grant, Alabama. Maybe, that was what kids had for a snack during that time. Still love your videos and, yes, they still make me hungry. God bless you and your family.
I wouldn’t get crumbs down the front of my shirt if I ate my cornbread this way. Good idea. Edit: I love that you’re still touched at the memory that Junior came home.
Diane...I was also touched that Tipper showed her emotions about her Uncle Junior coming home from the military. I teared up over such a sweet story...
My heart broke a little when you got choked up after sharing the story of Junior coming home and the emotions felt by sharing Granny's memories. Bless your heart and thank you for sharing all the wonderful recipes and stories from your home in Appalachia. My Best, Lisa from Ohio
I REALLY love this story/video.... My mom often told me about my great grandpa having coffee & bread for breakfast (1st generation Germans @ turn of the century--) this reminded me of it-- really enjoy your videos!
My mom made her cornbread in the same bowl and pan! She also had the same plate but it was only used on the holidays. We often ate cornbread and milk in a glass with green onion, all of us crumble first. Dad eats it with Buttermilk instead of sweet milk. Since mom passed we haven't had a a good batch of cornbread. Mine always seems a little heavier than moms. Another thing we ate a lot was homemade biscuits and raw potato slice sandwich and then a quarter of an onion on the side. We ate the onion like people eat potato chips these days.
My Mother and Father in law, born and raised in Brevard NC, love cornbread and milk. Any wich way. My Mother in law was in the hospital. I took Father in law a pan of cornbread. He said where is the buttermilk. I am from Southern Alabama. I am sorry to say I never heard of this. Thank you for this interesting education. My in laws are in their 90s. Makes me glad for my southern heritage.
Moved to Western Tennessee when I was 15 months old. Neighbor was from Eastern Tennessee and wanted to ensure us yankee children were raised proper. I learned to eat this from them. I like it for breakfast. I always make an obscene amount of cornbread to have extra for breakfast. Now, 50+ years later, it is my go to warm breakfast. I will warm cornbread, add melted butter and honey to it (because there is not sugar in the cornbread!), then warm milk. Best part of waking up is cornbread in the cup.
I was the only one of us three kids that really craved it, but I remember the milk had to be really cold and the cornbread needed to be completely cold too. So it was usually the second day that I ate it. It was one of my mother’s favorite comfort foods.
I grew up eating cornbread & milk…sweet milk for me…I still like it…it does bring back memories of growing up….I like for my cornbread to be warm, crumble in a large mug, then add milk, I add salt & pepper too….I have added chopped up cucumbers before and sometimes I will add in fresh green onions…it’s definitely a comfort food for me…I’m glad your mama remembered a memory from her childhood that she had not told you before….I wish I had asked my Granny & my mama & daddy about more of their memories growing up… I just love that almost every video you do seems to always bring sweet memories to mind for me…. Brenda
Daddy taught me as a young lad growing up in Alabama to eat cornbread crumbled up in a tall tea glass with buttermilk in it. Ate it with a tea spoon. My kids just hold their nose at the notion.
LOVE buttermilk... just love it! We had cornbread OR soda crackers or those oyster crackers in a bowl, poured buttermilk over it , and we always put salt and pepper on it...
Oh gosh.... Often, my dad liked to tear up a piece of white bread or homemade cornbread in sweet milk or buttermilk, and that would be an evening snack. Both my parents also liked clabbered milk. -- I've never acquired a taste for buttermilk or clabbered milk, but I do love cornbread. I just realized it's been months since I last made some. I'll confess I use a store-bought mix with eggs and milk, though. I'd have to look at a recipe nowadays to do it from scratch. This brought back memories and gave me the urge. Will have to add a few things to the grocery list. -- My mo and dad and both sets of grandparents would've loved this. I miss them. -- My dad used to tell stories of how he and his brother and sisters would go to school with a biscuit and jelly or else cornbread, and that was a common thing back then.
My gram and granddaddy did a nighttime cornbread and milk in a bowl with preferably sorghum, but mostly maple syrup drizzled on top! It never sounded good to me, but they sure loved it. I preferred all the elements separate, probably like most little kids, haha. ;)
Oh my stars! Now this is a treat I truly miss from my childhood. Your cornbread looks just like mommy's. I'm sure it's absolutely delicious Tipper. And the buttermilk is great too! ❤
Milk and cornbread was always a supper and the dinner leftovers were used. Served in a glass with tons of black pepper. My mom still has it if we take her out to lunch, she gets a small cornbread muffin that she wraps in a napkin and carries it home for supper.
Ate cornbread and milk and buttermilk as a child. My mother cooked a lot like you do. I miss that. We were as poor as church mice, but didn't know it because we were rich in good ole mountain cooking. I still love cornbread, more now than ever. I could eat it everyday. I eat leftover cornbread split in half with butter and eggs on top the next morning. My daughter thinks that's gross, but I love it. And I love watching your videos. Brings back so many good memories. Thank you.
My wife and her mother liked cornbread in buttermilk seasoned with pepper. My mother in law was from Hazard Kentucky. My dad was from Bullcreek Kentucky. He liked cornbread and buttermilk too.
Ooohh my goodness!!! I dont know how many times me and my family would have cornbread and in a glass of milk, it's still soooo good!!! My dad would pack it in his dinner bucket for his lunch the next day. My dad and grandfather always called it steak in a jar!! Wonderful video, thanks for sharing!!
I like cornbread and gravy even better than biscuts and gravy. Cornbread and milk is hard to beat though, espically the way you make cornbread. You make it right.
I have never heard of cornbread and milk, but I sure will try it. My dad would take a piece of white bread, pour evaporated milk over it and then sugar but only if he did not have dessert. When I was sick, he would make toast, pour hot milk over it with pepper and butter, I sure miss him and mom. Thank you for bringing up such sweet memories!
My grandmother would make her cornbread in a black frying pan sometimes,and when she cooked collard greens she would crumble up the cornbread and eat it with her fingers 😋.
Cornbread hot out of the oven with a good slab of butter is so good . At my paternal grandparents house, they crumbled cornbread into a glass and poured buttermilk over...My sister loved it thataway...I didn’t like butter milk as a child so I crumbled lite bread into a big glass and poured sweet milk over ...Still enjoy that. This is how my Mama’s daddy (granddaddy) ate his milk and bread .
Jo Hubbard..SW VA.. I love your videos…so many tie into my life and the people I love. I’m originally from Letcher County. My Daddy loved sweet milk and cornbread.. he crumbled the bread into the milk. He ate it after he finished supper as a dessert . He liked cornbread thin and very crisp. I like it to be thick.. love the crumbles or center of the bread. I love sweet milk and bread. I learned to make it thick ..2 cups of self rising Martha White corn meal, 1 cup of self rising MW flour and enough buttermilk to make it the consistency that you make yours in a Crisco greased cold cast iron skillet baked at 420 for at least 30 minutes or golden brown on top. My mother-in-law taught me this way. I also love the words and sayings of the Appalachian people and I am proud to be a Kentucky Hillbilly. I don’t comment much on your videos because I watch them on the tv rather than IPad or my phone. Thanks.
My husband just came in and saw me watching this, he says he adds honey. He's only 39. My dad likes his with butter milk. My husband and dad are both Native American and swear corn bread is Native American.😁
I think so, too. Weren’t the Native American’s grinding corn from way back. In New Mexico a few years ago, I found a “manno”, which I’m told was used by the natives to grind corn on another rock that had been carved out like a bowl. The name of the bowl escapes me. At the risk of having you think I’m “out there”, I absolutely think I can “feel” the souls who used this manno. It’s hard to explain. ❣️♥️🙏🏼♥️❣️
Oh my goodness! One of my favorite meals! I will often eat this for breakfast if I have leftover cornbread. My kids think it's nuts lol! But I love it! 😋I have yet to try the buttermilk on it, but it's on my food bucket list! Thank you so much for doing a video on this!! Have you eaten lettuce and onions? If anyone doesn't know what it is, it's a salad type thing with bacon crumbled, and the "dressing" is made from bacon grease, vinegar and a little sugar. This is often eaten with a pone of cornbread. Thank you Tipper for keeping Appalachian history alive and well! God bless!
Crazy about cornbread, plain or with milk! This reminds me of how much we loved popcorn and milk as a kid. Dry cereals weren’t perceived as healthy, not to mention they were expensive so if we wanted dry cereal, we had one choice -popcorn and milk! Thanks for all the wonderful videos you and your family share!❤
I had it when I was a child 40some years ago and I just remembered it and had some about six months ago. It just wasn't as good without my grandmother's cornbread.
I saw you chunking up the cornbread into a glass and began to cry. Too many memories connected with that act. My dad, granny, aunts, uncles and some of the "greats" all did this along with me the green onion for buttermilk and jam for milk, if you wanted. 💖
My grandparents use buttermilk in their cornbread. My Mama chopped onions and her cornbread and milk I just had to be sweet milk I paid it before it's pretty good I just don't eat it much often
My parents always ate cornbread and sweet milk but I wanted my cornbread with butter and separate from the milk. When I make cornbread now, my husband eats cornbread and sweet milk. He pours the milk in the glass first and then crumbles the cornbread into it. I still eat mine with butter and drink the milk separately. Loved the video. TFS. ~ Betty
Cornbread and buttermilk brings back so many wonderful memories of my sweet mother. Your recipes and watching you prepare them is therapy for my soul. Thank you for celebrating Appalachia.
My grandfather, who we called “Big Pop”, ate cornbread crumbled in a glass of milk and also Saltines crumbled in a glass of milk. He had dentures but seldom wore them. I always thought it was because it was easier for him to eat but perhaps it was a preference. Always enjoy your videos💕
I miss all the good old home cookin my prefence was cornbread in the glass first the sweet mike poured over being a diabetic I dont get to eat the good stuff like times past .
I still love corn bread, any way that you can eat it. When I was a kid, grandpa fought us a habit. Put your corn bread in a bowl, crumbled, sliced open, or a hunk, put sugar on it, then the kicker, cover it with warm coffee. We also used biscuits. Grandpa called it soakies. I still have it with black coffee once in a while. When I was a kid, it was our sweet treat and of course the only time I got coffee, which I've always loved. I also crumble corn bread on a plate and put my eggs on top. I love that also. Thank you Miss Tipper for your balls channels. Love them.Watch all I can find. Brings back a heap of memories.
Sure is hard to beat a pint mason jar filled with some cast iron skillet buttermilk cornbread and sweet milk. Great snack before bedtime. Helps me relax and sleep well. -Tennessee Smoky
Oh, each video takes me back home to my younger years. My grandma Honaker would fix hers in a grass and my momma would fix hers in a cup. I cannot remember daddy having any, but he must have. They always had there's with buttermilk. It's funny the place I just retired from had people from all over this country and world working there. There would be times that I would be tell them about the foods I had while growing up in the hills of West Virginia. They would laugh and tell me that they would never eat that kind of food. I would just laugh back that them and tell them that alright there would be more for me. I've had my corn beard and buttermilk in a cup, grass and bowl: and it does not matter which one it's in they all taste the same. Bless you, looking forward to the next one. You'll have a great evening.
- IMy grandmother had a recipe that is my favorite comfort food and it is called 'ham and cornbread. It was basically a white sauce with diced ham and served over cornbread. In Arizona you try to tell people about this meal and it's amazing the looks you can get. Thank you so much for your videos, I just love watching them!
My mom liked cornbread in a glass of buttermilk. Mom always told me that when her and dad married he said as long she gave him “milk and bread” every night he wouldn’t ask for anything else.
So sweet the emotion showed in your reading of the memory. I think most of our good memories involve food, each celebration has a unique dish to serve. Sometimes we are so used to only having it at a certain time, we neglect to have it anytime! Momma Moore a lady that took care of my sister and I Made the best egg noodles and cinnamon rolls, hers were not rolled out and cut into rounds, but pulled and stretched into a knot! Anybody else grow up with those?
I’d be lying if I told you I didn’t get emotional listening to your story about your great uncle’s return from war. I cry too leasy and some say it’s not something a man should do. I guess I feel the exact opposite. The reason for me sharing has to do with your memories of cooking. I had a wonderful childhood growing up with both sets of grandparents..that was the best ever. Years later after getting married, I was going to cornbread for my new bride. She asked why I was using an iron skillet, white plate and chipped water glass. After all, we’d “just received new dish ware for our wedding”. Besides cornbread it must’ve been the first time I got emotional in front of my new bride. She looked at me and said, “ OMG what’s wrong?” I said not a thing these were good tears. I cooked the cornbread in papaw’s old skillet, the plate was granny June’s and the chipped glass was granny Lane’s. I told my wife it was as if we’d all sat down and were eating together again...like we used to do in the cool summer evenings. After dinners my brother and I, would catch fireflies. All you could smell freshly cut grass mixed with the smoke from my grandpa’s pipe. Oh how I long for the return of days like this.. Apologies for the super long post. Be Safe !
We ate it all the time growing up in SWVA. Mom would leave a glass each in the fridge for me and my brother when we went out carousing. There's nothing better before bed! We always used sweet milk. My grandmother would always put a little cold coffee in hers. Thanks for bringing back fond memories!
I eat both sweetmilk and buttermilk with cornbread. I only eat sweetmilk with a crumble-in. I have to be careful these days when I eat cornbread though. For some reason I get strangled easily on it. Even when soaked with milk. I hate that too. I've lived on cornbread and milk all my life and now it seems it wants to take my life.
Papaw, I had the same problem with cornbread! My son had the idea to mix about 1/2 cup of sourcream in the batter, and it took away all that scratchiness, but didn't affect the taste. Now I can eat cornbread worry- free. 😊
My grandfather grew up in Arkansas and worked farming. He always had a strong work ethic of course and held many secrets upon his death-mostly because his life seemed mysterious to me when in reality it was just his collection of experiences. Anyway one memory I have of him is that he would drink buttermilk! Grandma always had it on hand. And when we’d go out to eat, he’d drink through all the coffee cream sitting on the table in little cups 😂. It was great to hear about buttermilk and cast iron skillets and corn bread. Thank you.
My grandpa, I called dad, every night he would have cornbread and milk. If he didnt have cornbread he crumbled saltine crackers. He always crumbled first, then poured. ❣
@@CelebratingAppalachia Your welcome. Brings tears to my eyes, their both gone. But I think alot about their ways. I learned so much from them. You dont realize ths value of those memories until you begin to use some of them. If my grandpa new I put the mower up without cleaning it .... I only do that if it's going to rain or gets to late 🙄😁
OK....I had never heard of Chocolate Gravy before....and now Corn Bread and Milk! I will try it...I always liked cornbread. My Mother used to buy it ready made in the bakery section of the Jewel Supermarket in River Forest, IL. (She hated to cook!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!)
I might be the oddball here, I LOVE buttermilk in a tall glass with ice in it. Sprinkled with fresh cracked black pepper. Absolutely delicious, any time of year.

I LOVE CORNBREAD AND MILK,REGULAR OR BUTTERMILK BUT WHAT IS GOOD IS SOME FRIED POTATOES WITH IT AND OF COURSE SOME ONION I PREFER SWEET ONION,GOD BLESS AND STAY SAFE
I do not ear cornbread and milk, but my mama did. She loved it, but one time with my second pregnancy I would eat cornbread and buttermilk. That lasted about a month, then not again have I had any.lol
I can’t tell you how many times cornbread and milk was our supper at night. Often that was all we could afford. I absolutely love it!
Yes ma’am! I ate the same many times!
Yup. Poor folks did what they could with the little they had. My aunt used to tell how she'd roast a wild onion over the fire just to have something sweet.
there ya go! 110° & no a/c my grandmother would have buttermilk with hers & "sweet" milk in mine.
That's the way of life in our family. We were very thankful and grateful to have something so tasty to fill our bellies!
Yes ma'am. I also remember eating this many nights.
Daughter of a WV coal miner, a childhood memory is that mom always saved a big piece of corn bread for Dad to eat with milk when he got home late from working 2nd shift. In the quiet house, I can remember hearing his spoon hit the glass as he ate it before going on to bed❤️
What a wonderful memory 😀
🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
My Father in law was WV coal miner also, loved listening to his stories as I dated his son my now husband of 42 yrs😊
My fav breakfast is cornbread with butter and real maple syrup
This woman is a jewel.
That she is❣️😉
Yes!
Cornbread and buttermilk was one of my Mom’s favorite meals. She’s been gone for a couple of years and this post brought back so many wonderful and warm memories of her and my incredible childhood. We grew up on the land and I wouldn’t trade my childhood for all the money in the world. I miss her every day and wish I could have one more day with her. My memories of our time together are my legacy.
Debra-so glad you've got those wonderful memories 😀
I grew up similarly...blessings🙏🏻💖
Debra are you related to the Jarrell's?
@@datilman9146 not that I'm aware of.
My mama used to eat buttermilk and cornbread at night. She called the cornbread a " pone" , regular milk was " sweet milk" , and white bread was " light bread". It brings sweet memories to hear all these things again. Thank you , God bless
That is my favorite as well. Salted buttermilk with a big slice of cornbread.
I heard mom say the same thing and when we went to Grandmama's and grandaddy's in the Smokeys, we always had cornbread with buttermilk or sweet milk. Oh, I would love to hear mom say "sweet milk and " white bread again. Thanks for bringing back some great memories.
When I was a kid, my daddy used to take milk & cornbread in a mason jar for lunch at his lineman job...what a precious memory...
My granny's handwritten cornbread recipe is one of my most treasured family heirlooms. She was from White City,Alabama and lived to 97. Her recipe used lots of butter and no sugar. If you wanted it sweet we would pour molasses on it. My entire childhood my grandfather would mix that cornbread with a glass of buttermilk. I miss them both every day
Molasses sounds like a nice sweet bite to add.
How awesome that you kept her recipe. I have some recipes from my mother in law wish I had more from other departed loved ones. My Mom and I would always have corn bread and milk for breakfast anytime there was leftover cornbread especially if it had gotten stale or dried out. We were somewhat poor back then and beans, potatoes, biscuits, and cornbread were the main foods we could afford back then. My Mom liked buttermilk, but I preferred sweet milk.
My 85 year old dad was talking about cornbread and milk when we talked Sunday. Then this video appears in my feed. I always thought that was just something he did.
i use to sit on the old front porch with my grandfather and eat, cornbread and milk, we talked about everything, I sure do miss him. He also use to give me when i was small and had a bad cough, he would mix up moonshine, lemon juice,and pepper mint candy in a mason jar.
If I had only one meal left to eat...it would be Granny’s beans and cornbread with some fried apples and some fried sweet potatoes. Oh what great memories and fun times!! Thanks Tipper!!
That is a feast for sure 😀
When I was little and stayed over, my grandmother would often fix baked apples as a treat, very simple, warm, and tasty. Your post reminded me of that. Gosh, I miss her.
@@benw9949 it’s wonderful to have those memories. I adored my grandmother and miss her as well. I don’t cry because it’s over, I smile because I got to be a part of it. ☺️
Hello
I will always think of my dad & grandmother when I eat cornbread soup beans ❤️
one of my favorite meals
I never ate corn bread and milk
Don’t know why ?
Pops liked his with sweet milk
Mamaw liked hers with buttermilk
Dad went to heaven this past Easter and when I saw your video
My heart was filled with memories of mom , dad and our family ❤️🙏❤️
There from St Paul Va & Bristol
Thanks for your awesome videos
Best wishes
Brenda
@@MrCorvettegirl2 hey Brenda. Funny seeing you here too. Guess I’ll see you at Tammy’s tomorrow 💕
I love how moved you were by the story at the end it is definitely touching. I am a weird hybrid fully raised in the north with half my family from NC. I do remember my Grandma making dirty rice w/ fatback and greens, cornbread with southern fried steak and everything covered in gravy. Just thinking back reminds me of my Great Aunt too, speaking as fast as an Auctioneer saying “tell ya wot” every third word and uh-huh. All my Southern Family members that lived up here, always had a pot of greens ready to serve the minute you walked into their home. 😊
My mammaw loved cornbread and buttermilk, at the end of her life if I couldn’t get her to eat anything else, she would always eat cornbread and buttermilk. I miss her!
Hearing you talk about family and food. I sure miss my mom and grandmother. They both made sure we all were fed and that we all got along.
I could sure go for some milk and cornbread right now!!
My mom would cook cornmeal like you would grits, and called it mush. She would take a spoonful and dip it into milk. I ate mine with a pat of butter. She always cooked extra and put it in a loaf pan and sliced it the next day and fried it and we put syrup over it. Was so good.
For years I thought we were having 'mush' but Mom would boil a pork roast, put it in the frige overnight, skim off the fat in the morning, shred a little of the meat, cook the cornmeal in the broth, then put it in the loaf pan like you said and fry it crisp and have it with eggs. She put syrup on hers then I found out later it was called Scrapple. lol
Mary C, we grew up in a Northern Italian house.. polenta (pretty much grits) was a staple.
Yes, sliced the next day, then heated up and in a bowl with milk and a touch of sugar for breakfast😋. Simple, good meal, and great memories.
My mom was an orphan from Savannah, Georgia and she had memories of eating cornbread in buttermilk when she was very young. When she went back to visit Georgia as an adult, she had to ask the locals if she had only dreamed about eating cornbread in buttermilk or if she had imagined it.
I can remember my aunt cooking up some cabbage and bacon for dinner, and on the side she had a glass of cornbread and milk. That was the first time I had ever seen anybody eat it but that was also when I first learned it was a pretty common meal back in the day.
Thank you for a lovely discussion of a simple but delightful food and how memory turns on the small sweet moments of family life.
I grew up eating cornbread and sweet milk,still love it! Crumble first then add milk. Such great memories of this bed time snack! TFS!
My dad told of many suppers as a boy on the farm that were homemade bread dipped in fresh milk. This was of course after grandma had worked all day in the cotton field and the garden. I’m surprised she had the energy for that! What with seven kids and grandpa working off the farm.
The power of suggestion is so great, I swaney I could smell that cornbread baking in the oven! I remember when I was young a dear neighbor lady who always started preparing her supper early in the afternoon as her husband would be home by around 3:30 or so. She always had cornbread and in the summer all the doors and windows would be open so that the smell of that cornbread would waft around all over the place. More good memories you bring, thanks Tipper!
Wow, this hits very close to home. If I was staying with granny we’d have us an afternoon snack of
cornbread and buttermilk. Depending on granny’s mood, if she was ornery she’d salt the buttermilk, but if she was feeling good she’d make it my favorite with molasses mixed into the milk...talk about good..
Make ya curl your toes!!!
My Mama always made pintos, cornbread and onion. So good
Shelie...OMG! Mine, too. Completely forgot until just now.
My grandmother made the best beans and cornbread and her and her mother always had cornbread and milk
I love fresh chipped up onion in my bowl of pintos. That is good eating.
Also love to take a bite of cornbread and then onion together. That’s good to me.
@@craig9843 That's how I eat it also.I do like to put butter in my beans, well it was margarine when I was a child. So good
My dad would eat this every evening as an after supper snack. He would also use a lot of black pepper on it.
As sure as we had cornbread growing up Daddy would have a glass of sweet milk with cornbread in it that evening. We also ate it with buttermilk. And if there was no cornbread, saltine crackers in a glass with buttermilk is also good. Dad would go into the garden before supper and pull his green onions to go with supper because they were a must. Especially with beans and cornbread. And he never wanted sugar in his cornbread like some people do. He said "If I wanted cake I would have asked for cake! lol" Sweet memories of a happy childhood call me back home when I think of these things. So often food is tied to love in our memory.Thank you for another great video. God Bless!
Thank you Karen and Buz 😀
Me and the dog prefer it with buttermilk! Of course she likes collards and sweet potatoes too =)) I have a country hound!
Lol!!! only kind to have !
Yes, yes, yes, yes! I love cornbread and milk, buttermilk or sweet milk. Too this wonderful meal, I would add sliced onions or tomatoes. We often had this meal as our "only meal" and were thankful to have it. This video has taken me back to my childhood. Many wonderful memories. Thank you.
Jeri Whittaker
Ah cornbread and buttermilk was a special treat for me and daddy
I can't tell you just how much watching all of your videos has touched my heart. We really do have so much in common, Tipper, and it's a joy to see other's relishing our culture, our traditions and even our sayings and foods. It's all a part of the whole that makes up Appalachia. My husband has been watching these with me, he grew up really hard up in a coal tipple holler and their family lost their home to the great flood of 1970 here in SW Virginia. Cornbread and milk was very often their supper. His daddy worked in "scab" mines mostly, never a union mine, and dug coal on his knees. It was backbreaking work for the pittance he earned to feed a family with 7 children. He watched this one and had to get up and "go get him a snack"... of course it was cornbread and buttermilk. But I think he needed to go wipe his eyes, too. Lord how his daddy loved to go to the garden and just pull up some fresh onions and peel them on the way up to the house. He'd be grinning and munching on that fresh onion all the way to the back porch. Sweet sweet memories....
Jan-thank you for your comment 😀
You brought back so many memories! My Dad pastored the same church for 54 years. We would always eat supper early, especially on church nights because Dad didn’t want to get in the pulpit with a full stomach. He joked about the preacher who got up and said, “And Peter said unto them......BUUURP.”😂 He didn’t want to be that guy! He also joked that, that way, we’d have time for another meal before bedtime. Many times our meal consisted of cornbread and either pinto beans or cabbage or homemade soup. My Dad would finish it off with a big glass of cornbread (crumbled first, of course) and buttermilk. My friends didn’t eat that way so I was embarrassed. Youth is wasted on the young! Now I love those foods.
My Dad’s early years were spent in the foothills of the Ozarks. His grandfather was an old circuit-rider preacher. Meals were a time for fellowship and music, which remained a large part of his life.
Bowl full of crumbled cornbread with sweet milk poured on top. Lots of wonderful memories of my momma's cornbread. No one can make it like she could. How I wish she could make me another pan of it.
I've never been one for milk unless it's cultured like cheese, yogurt or sour cream. But, I'll never turn down some cornbread and have even been known to mix it into vanilla ice cream a time or two! Thank you for taking the time to bring us together once again.
That’s interesting! I might give cornbread and ice cream a try one of these days.
Mix buttermilk with vanilla ice cream. So delicious 😋 I call it buttermilk ice cream.
I heat my grease/oil and pour it in the bowl of mixed cornbread batter then back into the hot skillet! 😄
Dad and grandparents were from KY & used to do this. I was born and raised in Chicago and I do too. Love it. Great breakfast with sweet milk.
I really enjoyed this video. I am in my 50"s and I grew up in southern Ohio about 25 miles north of the Ohio river. Most of my family and neighbors were from Kentucky and West Virginia. We all ate cornbread and milk regularly. We were taught to add sugar to ours and I still eat it like that today. It's kind of a dessert snack. Thanks for sharing your memories, I thought everyone loved cornbread and milk. The one's who don't have never tried it!😀
@Steve Whitt, My parents were both born and raised in Pike Co, Ohio. Cornbread and milk was one of my dad's favorite things to eat!
It is so interesting to me all the traditions that you have that my family also enjoys. We are in Dallas, Texas. I did not like cornbread and buttermilk when I was little. I love it now. I am blessed to have my Nanny's cornbread skillet.
My Daddy enjoyed it as a meal. Maybe with onion and tomatoes. I love it with cracklings.
Thanks for watching Tim! I like it with cracklings too 😀
As i listen, it is very interesting. My grandma is 96. She hated cornbread as that was all they could afford in the 30s. White bread was such a luxury. But man... She makes the best cornbread in the world!
Tipper thank you for this. I grew up on cornbread and milk. It is a simple dish for many but, it is hard to beat for those of us who enjoy it!
When my twin boys were near about 2 years old they were just getting used to solid food. I made a cake of cornbread for dinner one fall night. I cut a slice up and mashed it with some sweet milk in a small bowl. Those boys cleaned the bowl. My wife, hadn't heard of the combination before but I told her how it was something that always helped me sleep. Those two had no trouble sleeping that night I can tell you. I always add the milk afterward and just a drop or two of honey two sweeten it a might.
Hello Tipper! I was raised on cornbread and milk that's for sure... it was a staple that we country folk had with almost every meal and some meals were nothing more than cornbread and milk particularly of an evening. Thank you again for celebrating Appalachia and helping to conserve and spread the word on our decency, love of Country and God and one another! God Bless!
I was eight years old, back in '54, when we got our first television. Mom would have a skillet of hot cornbread fresh from the oven, ready for her brood to get off the school bus. First thing we did was crumble the cornbread into glasses, pour fresh sweet milk over it, then go plop down on the floor in front of the television, and gobble up our 'before supper' snack.
Then Mom made another skillet of cornbread to go with the soup beans and fried potatoes for our supper. Food fit for a queen!
Thanks for stirring up the memories! ❤
Love cornbread and milk. I crumble it in a glass if I'm having sweet milk with it...but if I have buttermilk I drink the milk and eat the cornbread with it. My parents and grandparents all ate it. Soooo good!
Wow, Tipper. I used to watch my daddy eat cornbread that way except he would use buttermilk. He grew up in the 20's & 30's down in Grant, Alabama. Maybe, that was what kids had for a snack during that time. Still love your videos and, yes, they still make me hungry. God bless you and your family.
I wouldn’t get crumbs down the front of my shirt if I ate my cornbread this way. Good idea. Edit: I love that you’re still touched at the memory that Junior came home.
Thank you Diane 😀
Diane...I was also touched that Tipper showed her emotions about her Uncle Junior coming home from the military. I teared up over such a sweet story...
My heart broke a little when you got choked up after sharing the story of Junior coming home and the emotions felt by sharing Granny's memories. Bless your heart and thank you for sharing all the wonderful recipes and stories from your home in Appalachia. My Best, Lisa from Ohio
I REALLY love this story/video.... My mom often told me about my great grandpa having coffee & bread for breakfast (1st generation Germans @ turn of the century--) this reminded me of it--
really enjoy your videos!
Thank. you Jeff-so glad you enjoyed it 😀
My mom made her cornbread in the same bowl and pan! She also had the same plate but it was only used on the holidays. We often ate cornbread and milk in a glass with green onion, all of us crumble first. Dad eats it with Buttermilk instead of sweet milk. Since mom passed we haven't had a a good batch of cornbread. Mine always seems a little heavier than moms. Another thing we ate a lot was homemade biscuits and raw potato slice sandwich and then a quarter of an onion on the side. We ate the onion like people eat potato chips these days.
My Mother and Father in law, born and raised in Brevard NC, love cornbread and milk. Any wich way. My Mother in law was in the hospital. I took Father in law a pan of cornbread. He said where is the buttermilk. I am from Southern Alabama. I am sorry to say I never heard of this. Thank you for this interesting education. My in laws are in their 90s. Makes me glad for my southern heritage.
Moved to Western Tennessee when I was 15 months old. Neighbor was from Eastern Tennessee and wanted to ensure us yankee children were raised proper. I learned to eat this from them. I like it for breakfast. I always make an obscene amount of cornbread to have extra for breakfast. Now, 50+ years later, it is my go to warm breakfast. I will warm cornbread, add melted butter and honey to it (because there is not sugar in the cornbread!), then warm milk. Best part of waking up is cornbread in the cup.
I was the only one of us three kids that really craved it, but I remember the milk had to be really cold and the cornbread needed to be completely cold too. So it was usually the second day that I ate it. It was one of my mother’s favorite comfort foods.
I grew up eating cornbread & milk…sweet milk for me…I still like it…it does bring back memories of growing up….I like for my cornbread to be warm, crumble in a large mug, then add milk, I add salt & pepper too….I have added chopped up cucumbers before and sometimes I will add in fresh green onions…it’s definitely a comfort food for me…I’m glad your mama remembered a memory from her childhood that she had not told you before….I wish I had asked my Granny & my mama & daddy about more of their memories growing up…
I just love that almost every video you do seems to always bring sweet memories to mind for me….
Brenda
Thank you Brenda 😀 I'm glad you'e got those sweet memories too!
Daddy taught me as a young lad growing up in Alabama to eat cornbread crumbled up in a tall tea glass with buttermilk in it. Ate it with a tea spoon. My kids just hold their nose at the notion.
LOVE buttermilk... just love it! We had cornbread OR soda crackers or those oyster crackers in a bowl, poured buttermilk over it , and we always put salt and pepper on it...
Stewart White, that just leaves more for you.
@@lynnmaupin-simpson1215 yes ma’am. More for me indeed!
Oh gosh.... Often, my dad liked to tear up a piece of white bread or homemade cornbread in sweet milk or buttermilk, and that would be an evening snack. Both my parents also liked clabbered milk. -- I've never acquired a taste for buttermilk or clabbered milk, but I do love cornbread. I just realized it's been months since I last made some. I'll confess I use a store-bought mix with eggs and milk, though. I'd have to look at a recipe nowadays to do it from scratch. This brought back memories and gave me the urge. Will have to add a few things to the grocery list. -- My mo and dad and both sets of grandparents would've loved this. I miss them. -- My dad used to tell stories of how he and his brother and sisters would go to school with a biscuit and jelly or else cornbread, and that was a common thing back then.
so happy you made this video. I just happen to had kilt lettuce and onions. Then finish it with milk and cornbread lastnight.
Grew up eating cornbread and milk,I miss my sweet mothers cornbread,really like your videos brings back very good memories for me
Corn bread and milk is common here in the flatwoods of Tennessee, good stuff indeed if you have enough black pepper.
My gram and granddaddy did a nighttime cornbread and milk in a bowl with preferably sorghum, but mostly maple syrup drizzled on top! It never sounded good to me, but they sure loved it. I preferred all the elements separate, probably like most little kids, haha. ;)
Oh my stars! Now this is a treat I truly miss from my childhood. Your cornbread looks just like mommy's. I'm sure it's absolutely delicious Tipper. And the buttermilk is great too! ❤
Love cornbread and milk!!
Milk and cornbread was always a supper and the dinner leftovers were used. Served in a glass with tons of black pepper. My mom still has it if we take her out to lunch, she gets a small cornbread muffin that she wraps in a napkin and carries it home for supper.
Ate cornbread and milk and buttermilk as a child. My mother cooked a lot like you do. I miss that. We were as poor as church mice, but didn't know it because we were rich in good ole mountain cooking. I still love cornbread, more now than ever. I could eat it everyday. I eat leftover cornbread split in half with butter and eggs on top the next morning. My daughter thinks that's gross, but I love it. And I love watching your videos. Brings back so many good memories. Thank you.
My wife and her mother liked cornbread in buttermilk seasoned with pepper. My mother in law was from Hazard Kentucky. My dad was from Bullcreek Kentucky. He liked cornbread and buttermilk too.
My Mom lived in Hazard Kentucky! I've was there as a child. But she lived most of her childhood in Jackson Kentucky just northwest of Hazard.
Ooohh my goodness!!! I dont know how many times me and my family would have cornbread and in a glass of milk, it's still soooo good!!! My dad would pack it in his dinner bucket for his lunch the next day. My dad and grandfather always called it steak in a jar!! Wonderful video, thanks for sharing!!
I like cornbread and gravy even better than biscuts and gravy. Cornbread and milk is hard to beat though, espically the way you make cornbread. You make it right.
I like cornbread and with chicken and dumplings 😀
@@CelebratingAppalachia uh oh! I’m gonna have to give that a shot! My wife makes the best chicken/rabbit and dumplings! Thanks!
I have never heard of cornbread and milk, but I sure will try it. My dad would take a piece of white bread, pour evaporated milk over it and then sugar but only if he did not have dessert. When I was sick, he would make toast, pour hot milk over it with pepper and butter, I sure miss him and mom. Thank you for bringing up such sweet memories!
My grandmother would make her cornbread in a black frying pan sometimes,and when she cooked collard greens she would crumble up the cornbread and eat it with her fingers 😋.
cornbread and the pot liquor from a mess of greens is just ambrosial!
I liked corn bread and milk. My mom always corn bread and buttermilk. I also liked corn bread with canned peaches poured over top for desert
Cornbread hot out of the oven with a good slab of butter is so good . At my paternal grandparents house, they crumbled cornbread into a glass and poured buttermilk over...My sister loved it thataway...I didn’t like butter milk as a child so I crumbled lite bread into a big glass and poured sweet milk over ...Still enjoy that. This is how my Mama’s daddy (granddaddy) ate his milk and bread .
Jo Hubbard..SW VA.. I love your videos…so many tie into my life and the people I love. I’m originally from Letcher County. My Daddy loved sweet milk and cornbread.. he crumbled the bread into the milk. He ate it after he finished supper as a dessert . He liked cornbread thin and very crisp. I like it to be thick.. love the crumbles or center of the bread. I love sweet milk and bread. I learned to make it thick ..2 cups of self rising Martha White corn meal, 1 cup of self rising MW flour and enough buttermilk to make it the consistency that you make yours in a Crisco greased cold cast iron skillet baked at 420 for at least 30 minutes or golden brown on top. My mother-in-law taught me this way. I also love the words and sayings of the Appalachian people and I am proud to be a Kentucky Hillbilly. I don’t comment much on your videos because I watch them on the tv rather than IPad or my phone. Thanks.
So glad you enjoy our videos! Thank you for watching and for sharing your cornbread memories 😀
My husband just came in and saw me watching this, he says he adds honey. He's only 39. My dad likes his with butter milk. My husband and dad are both Native American and swear corn bread is Native American.😁
I’m thinking they could be correct💖
I think so, too. Weren’t the Native American’s grinding corn from way back. In New Mexico a few years ago, I found a “manno”, which I’m told was used by the natives to grind corn on another rock that had been carved out like a bowl. The name of the bowl escapes me. At the risk of having you think I’m “out there”, I absolutely think I can “feel” the souls who used this manno. It’s hard to explain. ❣️♥️🙏🏼♥️❣️
@@judyabernathy80 yes but it was made a little differently back then obviously. They would add other stuff like beans to it too.
My Indian side of the family, Cherokee, say thats true.
From the Mexicans 9,000 years ago.
Oh my goodness! One of my favorite meals! I will often eat this for breakfast if I have leftover cornbread. My kids think it's nuts lol! But I love it! 😋I have yet to try the buttermilk on it, but it's on my food bucket list! Thank you so much for doing a video on this!!
Have you eaten lettuce and onions? If anyone doesn't know what it is, it's a salad type thing with bacon crumbled, and the "dressing" is made from bacon grease, vinegar and a little sugar. This is often eaten with a pone of cornbread. Thank you Tipper for keeping Appalachian history alive and well! God bless!
We love lettuce and onions-call it kilt lettuce. I have a video about it 😀
We we're very poor also, but love the food I ate as a child
Crazy about cornbread, plain or with milk! This reminds me of how much we loved popcorn and milk as a kid. Dry cereals weren’t perceived as healthy, not to mention they were expensive so if we wanted dry cereal, we had one choice -popcorn and milk! Thanks for all the wonderful videos you and your family share!❤
I had it when I was a child 40some years ago and I just remembered it and had some about six months ago. It just wasn't as good without my grandmother's cornbread.
I saw you chunking up the cornbread into a glass and began to cry. Too many memories connected with that act. My dad, granny, aunts, uncles and some of the "greats" all did this along with me the green onion for buttermilk and jam for milk, if you wanted. 💖
My grandparents use buttermilk in their cornbread. My Mama chopped onions and her cornbread and milk I just had to be sweet milk I paid it before it's pretty good I just don't eat it much often
My parents always ate cornbread and sweet milk but I wanted my cornbread with butter and separate from the milk. When I make cornbread now, my husband eats cornbread and sweet milk. He pours the milk in the glass first and then crumbles the cornbread into it. I still eat mine with butter and drink the milk separately. Loved the video. TFS. ~ Betty
A food group unto it's self. Cornbread with cracklins and sweet milk. I usually crumble first, always in a glass.
Cornbread and buttermilk brings back so many wonderful memories of my sweet mother. Your recipes and watching you prepare them is therapy for my soul. Thank you for celebrating Appalachia.
Grandpa had cornbread in milk every night, unless some cornbread bandit ate supper with Grandpa and Grandma.
Cornbread bandits are bad around here too 😀
My grandfather, who we called “Big Pop”, ate cornbread crumbled in a glass of milk and also Saltines crumbled in a glass of milk. He had dentures but seldom wore them. I always thought it was because it was easier for him to eat but perhaps it was a preference. Always enjoy your videos💕
I miss all the good old home cookin my prefence was cornbread in the glass first the sweet mike poured over being a diabetic I dont get to eat the good stuff like times past .
I still love corn bread, any way that you can eat it. When I was a kid, grandpa fought us a habit. Put your corn bread in a bowl, crumbled, sliced open, or a hunk, put sugar on it, then the kicker, cover it with warm coffee. We also used biscuits. Grandpa called it soakies. I still have it with black coffee once in a while. When I was a kid, it was our sweet treat and of course the only time I got coffee, which I've always loved. I also crumble corn bread on a plate and put my eggs on top. I love that also. Thank you Miss Tipper for your balls channels. Love them.Watch all I can find. Brings back a heap of memories.
Sure is hard to beat a pint mason jar filled with some cast iron skillet buttermilk cornbread and sweet milk. Great snack before bedtime. Helps me relax and sleep well. -Tennessee Smoky
Cast iron skillet cornbread is the Only real cornbread as far as I'm concerned! 😉
Oh, each video takes me back home to my younger years. My grandma Honaker would fix hers in a grass and my momma would fix hers in a cup. I cannot remember daddy having any, but he must have. They always had there's with buttermilk. It's funny the place I just retired from had people from all over this country and world working there. There would be times that I would be tell them about the foods I had while growing up in the hills of West Virginia. They would laugh and tell me that they would never eat that kind of food. I would just laugh back that them and tell them that alright there would be more for me. I've had my corn beard and buttermilk in a cup, grass and bowl: and it does not matter which one it's in they all taste the same. Bless you, looking forward to the next one. You'll have a great evening.
Thank you Michael 😀
I like my cornbread crumbled up in pinto beans and ground beef crumbled up in it. Like chili. That's good eating 😋.
- IMy grandmother had a recipe that is my favorite comfort food and it is called 'ham and cornbread. It was basically a white sauce with diced ham and served over cornbread. In Arizona you try to tell people about this meal and it's amazing the looks you can get. Thank you so much for your videos, I just love watching them!
My mom liked cornbread in a glass of buttermilk. Mom always told me that when her and dad married he said as long she gave him “milk and bread” every night he wouldn’t ask for anything else.
😀
So sweet the emotion showed in your reading of the memory. I think most of our good memories involve food, each celebration has a unique dish to serve. Sometimes we are so used to only having it at a certain time, we neglect to have it anytime! Momma Moore a lady that took care of my sister and I
Made the best egg noodles and cinnamon rolls, hers were not rolled out and cut into rounds, but pulled and stretched into a knot! Anybody else grow up with those?
I’d be lying if I told you I didn’t get emotional listening to your story about your great uncle’s return from war. I cry too leasy and some say it’s not something a man should do. I guess I feel the exact opposite.
The reason for me sharing has to do with your memories of cooking. I had a wonderful childhood growing up with both sets of grandparents..that was the best ever. Years later after getting married, I was going to cornbread for my new bride. She asked why I was using an iron skillet, white plate and chipped water glass. After all, we’d “just received new dish ware for our wedding”. Besides cornbread it must’ve been the first time I got emotional in front of my new bride. She looked at me and said, “ OMG what’s wrong?” I said not a thing these were good tears. I cooked the cornbread in papaw’s old skillet, the plate was granny June’s and the chipped glass was granny Lane’s. I told my wife it was as if we’d all sat down and were eating together again...like we used to do in the cool summer evenings. After dinners my brother and I, would catch fireflies. All you could smell freshly cut grass mixed with the smoke from my grandpa’s pipe.
Oh how I long for the return of days like this..
Apologies for the super long post.
Be Safe !
You should be a writer sir. This certainly took me back.......😓
Tracey Hellsten
Miss Tracey,
Flattery will get you everywhere 😉
Scott-thank you for sharing that wonderful story!!
Charming and sweet story.
We ate it all the time growing up in SWVA. Mom would leave a glass each in the fridge for me and my brother when we went out carousing. There's nothing better before bed! We always used sweet milk. My grandmother would always put a little cold coffee in hers. Thanks for bringing back fond memories!
I eat both sweetmilk and buttermilk with cornbread. I only eat sweetmilk with a crumble-in.
I have to be careful these days when I eat cornbread though. For some reason I get strangled easily on it. Even when soaked with milk. I hate that too. I've lived on cornbread and milk all my life and now it seems it wants to take my life.
Papaw-I've always thought it was easy to get strangled on cornbread 😀
Papaw, I had the same problem with cornbread! My son had the idea to mix about 1/2 cup of sourcream in the batter, and it took away all that scratchiness, but didn't affect the taste. Now I can eat cornbread worry- free. 😊
My grandfather grew up in Arkansas and worked farming. He always had a strong work ethic of course and held many secrets upon his death-mostly because his life seemed mysterious to me when in reality it was just his collection of experiences. Anyway one memory I have of him is that he would drink buttermilk! Grandma always had it on hand. And when we’d go out to eat, he’d drink through all the coffee cream sitting on the table in little cups 😂. It was great to hear about buttermilk and cast iron skillets and corn bread. Thank you.
My grandpa, I called dad, every night he would have cornbread and milk. If he didnt have cornbread he crumbled saltine crackers. He always crumbled first, then poured. ❣
Thanks for sharing his method Theresa 😀 And for watching!

Your welcome. Brings tears to my eyes, their both gone. But I think alot about their ways. I learned so much from them. You dont realize ths value of those memories until you begin to use some of them. If my grandpa new I put the mower up without cleaning it .... I only do that if it's going to rain or gets to late 🙄😁
OK....I had never heard of Chocolate Gravy before....and now Corn Bread and Milk! I will try it...I always liked cornbread. My Mother used to buy it ready made in the bakery section of the Jewel Supermarket in River Forest, IL. (She hated to cook!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!)
My favorite dessert!
Eric-you sound a lot like Pap and Granny 😀
I teared up at that story about Uncle Junior's homecoming...wow, what a beautiful memory.
I might be the oddball here, I LOVE buttermilk in a tall glass with ice in it. Sprinkled with fresh cracked black pepper. Absolutely delicious, any time of year.
