An introduction to the Cornbread & Buttermilk Podcast, and the legend of its origins. The Cornbread & Buttermilk Podcast is where we discuss the culinary uniqueness of the Deep South. Our mission is to explore the culinary origins of the southern kitchen, while sharing our passion for recipes from the south’s agrarian past. We bring stories, recipes, book reviews, and tips for the kitchen garden.
In this episode,
Buttermilk sets the stage as Cornbread takes us back to where it all began. Cornbread spins a tale that’s deeper than Georgia’s Tallulah Gorge. This is the story of two orphans—twins, no less—barely old enough to speak, yet somehow knowing the taste of cornbread and buttermilk like they’d been raised on it since birth. How could a meal so humble and plain stir something deep in those little souls? There’s a mystery in it, like the hills and hollers that hold their secrets tight, and today, Cornbread’s gonna lay it out for you, piece by piece. So pull up a chair, pour yourself a cold one, and listen close. This is Cornbread and Buttermilk, and some stories taste as strange and familiar as home.”
