The mystery of which came first will finally be revealed, ( The Peanut or the Goober)?  The rise of  Georgia’s prominence in peanut production is attributed to a botanist in Alabama.  Would you like to know how many uses there are for peanuts.  The answers await in episode 26 of Cornbread & Buttermilk’s, southern culinary stories.  Join in the discussion, who do you think has the biggest peanuts, Georgia or Virginia?  Cornbread would like to hear your Coca-Cola/Peanut stories too.  Have you ever got tickled and sneezed a mouth full of Coca-Cola while on a date?  We hope we answer some of the questions our listens have about the origin of this well traveled crop.  Like Coca-Cola the peanut has a welcoming home in the state of Georgia.  For Cornbread they will always be linked to memories of a simpler time, when the local grocery store owner was also your neighbor.

Cornbread & Buttermilk recall July 4th’s of the past.  They discuss the special meaning of the celebration, and why we celebrate with fireworks, parades, and food.  They call attention to the South’s contribution in winning our countries freedom from British rule, and taxation without representation.  Cornbread recalls the Swamp Fox, South Carolina’s original gorilla warfare General who drove the Red Coat insane, and disappeared into the Low Country Swamps.  We salute our countries Southern forefathers, Washington, Jefferson, and Madison, all great contributors  to the freedom that Americans enjoy today.  As they each took part in the creation of the U.S. Constitution.  It is the wisdom of these men, and the courage of those who served under them that we celebrate on July 4th.  
Now, on to the food, parades and Bar-B-Q. 
 Cornbread reviews Ellijay Georgia’s Holt’s ACE Hardware, at 305 S. Main St. Ellijay Georgia,  and their great selection of BlackStone Griddle’s, rubs, and Lanes sauces.

In this episode Cornbread & Buttermilk, tell what they have learned about the Southern Biscuit.  Cornbread gives his listeners a recipe for Lard biscuits, in which one can swap out butter if one prefers.  The southern biscuit is often overlooked in the culinary world.  Cornbread believes the neglect comes from cooks taking too many shortcuts in preparing these delightful components of the Southern traditional table.  To truly appreciate the unique experience Cornbread believes one must first eliminate the distraction of a meal, and concentrate on acquiring the best quality biscuit ingredients.  White Lily all purpose flower, unsalted butter, (homemade is preferred), or good lard if you can find it, and of coarse whole buttermilk.  I found a nice pastry knife from William Sonoma on Amazon that I would recommend to aspiring biscuit makers.  As alway, we hope you enjoy the podcast, and if you learned something new, share it with a friend or family member.  As always, God Bless y’all.

Monday will be Memorial Day.  Cornbread & Buttermilk would like to thank those who gave their lives so that Americans can continue to enjoy freedom.  We are grateful to be born Americans.  It does not matter how our ancestors got here, or who they were.   It doesn’t matter where they came from, what they came with, or what they left behind.   It only matters that they came, they stayed, and they built something better than what they had left behind.  My ancestors harnessed a wild land.  However, they first had to harness the wilderness in their  mind,  and halter the fear of not knowing.  
There’s lots of work to be done.  You should learn everything, and teach what you learn to others.  I taught Linda Cakes how to make cornbread last week on the podcast, so she can teach her grand daughter.  Share the knowledge, learn to fish, then teach someone to fish.  This is the way according to Cornbread.

In this episode Cornbread & Buttermilk talk about their recent trip to Bermuda, and the surprising connections to Virgina tobacco farming, in the Jamestown colony.  Cornbread meets chef Oscar in the 1609 Restaurant and they discuss chef Oscar’s preference for using heavy cream and butter in his cornbread muffins.   Cornbread found Southern food in every corner of the island.   Ending his stay while having a pulled pork Bar-B-Q sandwich with a  bowl of collard greens.  Cornbread concludes that Bermuda is a treasure trove of southern culinary experience.  Secluded in the cradle of an extinct volcano crater, and having  the Atlantic Ocean as a moat.   Bermuda stands out as an example of what old southern culinary art was in its purest form, fresh vegetables, fresh seafood, prepared with a passion for flavor.
Cornbread & buttermilk would like to thank; 
Concierge, Mounis, of the Fairmont Princess in Bermuda.  Mounis, we never had a worry with you taking care of our every request, thank you!
Rolly, and the kitchen staff, of the Fairmont Princess in Bermuda,’s, Gold Club
Alisha, of the Fairmont Princess in Bermuda‘s, Gold Club
Bellman Donnie, for arranging our Island  tour with Mr. Whitter
Michael, our waiter at the Intrepid
Also Loyde Ferro of the Intrepid, our dinner was truly a memorable occasion, we thank you and you staff for a marvelous experience.
Chef Oscar of the 1609, thank you for two wonderful meals, and the best cornbread muffins I ever had.
Rafael, our server at the 1609,  you are the best, thanks!

A special thanks to Mr. Whitter our tour guide and teacher.  Buttermilk & Cornbread are grateful to you for sharing your knowledge of your beautiful island home and its history.
