493302 Mon Feb 25 17:49:11 -0800 2008 10 31 Home Cooking 0 3434377 i'm sitting here eating one of my favorite snacks: - slice some cornbread in half (top half and bottom half) so that it's two thin, wide slices - toast it to dry it out a little - in the meantime, heat up some (maybe 1/4 C?) milk in a bowl - lay the toasted cornbread in the milk - sprinkle with sugar if you are using unsweetened cornbread i just tried doing a search for it, but i can't seem to find anyone else who eats it this way. i did see that some people crumble cornbread into a glass of milk as a snack, but i haven't seen it heated up as more of a hot cereal. anyone else? Mon Feb 25 17:49:11 -0800 2008 10383 arifa 1 3435275 ever layer it with warm milk and honey butter? cornbread, i certainly miss it... i like mine sweet though, a la marie callendars... it also makes a good stacking base (assuming yours doesn't have corn pieces in it) for strawberry or raspberry or blueberry "shortcake" Tue Feb 26 02:49:54 -0800 2008 3434377 15572 Emme 1 3435394 This used to be common farm food in the south. Paul Laurence Dunbar wrote about eating it for dinner. Also, according to wikipedia, 'In Vermont, ground nutmeg is often added, and day-old "Johnny cake" is crumbled and served with cold milk similar to cold cereal.'

As I recall it was pretty good. I might have to try some tomorrow morning.

Tue Feb 26 10:24:35 -0800 2008 3434377 124908 jeanmarieok 1 3437089 I like it that way - that's dinner. Tue Feb 26 12:46:34 -0800 2008 3434377 12806 curiousbaker 1 3437141 I always had crumbled leftover cornbread in a tall glass topped with cold buttermilk (you used to be able to get good buttermilk back a ways). Always ate it with an iced teaspoon Tue Feb 26 12:57:48 -0800 2008 3434377 10285 Candy 2 3439687 Yep - except for the iced teaspoon, this is how I still eat it. Wed Feb 27 08:24:10 -0800 2008 3437141 146449 SoulFoodie 1 3439156 I love dried cornbread crumbled into my chili. Wed Feb 27 05:22:05 -0800 2008 3434377 11097 coll 1 3441345 Crumbled into cold sweet milk was how we always got it when we were kids, back in Illinois. It was never the good, crunchy Southern cornbread I grew to love later, usually just that sweet Jiffy mix, but didn't know any better then. I still have it sometimes when the mood hits me, with good stout skillet-made cornbread and a drizzle of dark molasses before the milk goes in. Never thought of it with hot milk - I'll have to try that. Wed Feb 27 15:08:39 -0800 2008 3434377 11478 Will Owen 1 3442957 Try Coush-Coush Enjoy!!
