[QUOTE="It Takes Eleven, post: 1431840, member: 11353"] I never developed a taste for buttermilk, but I love it with sweet milk. My Dad would always eat the remaining cornbread as an evening snack, with buttermilk. When he was younger, that might be all he would eat, because that's all they had. Many of our favorite meals come from those before us, who had to make do with little. A little off the path, but when my Dad was a kid growing up, the older kids were gone, his Dad was gone, and it was just him, his Mom and a little sister. They had nothing, and what my Dad could kill with a ragged .22 was what they ate, along with buttermilk from a nearby dairy, what they could scrape up in their garden or pick from a neighbors, and grease and cornmeal. Nothing went to waste. Any leftover went into the next day's meal. "Pea Patties" were a batter from leftover blackeyed peas, an egg, cornmeal and some onion. Fry it in a skillet. Growing up, I would purposefully eat fewer peas knowing we would be having Pea Patties the next day. RTR, Tim [/QUOTE]
