My Dad liked it really well. As for me, I do not even drink cows milk in any form.

Other than buttermilk I'm rather fond of the the form it takes in ice cream.

I was born and reared North of the Mason-Dixon line by about two miles, but I can recall my parents and grandparent eating buttermilk and cornbread regularly. I don't think it was as much a Southern thing as it was a poor folks thing. I never developed a taste for it myself, even though I really like cornbread. Buttermilk, not so much.

I guess there's a little spillover near the Mason-Dixon line, I agree it was definitely a poor folks thing.

BTW, I have been to both Cordele and Araby. Back before I-75 was completed, my family's route to Florida was US41 which goes through both towns. I don't think we stopped in either...our target was Valdosta for an overnight stopover before finishing the trip the next day.

Wow! That just pushed my memory button. One of the places my grandparents lived when I was elementary school aged, was in a tiny little house next to US-41 about a mile south of Araby, there was a couple of acres next to the house where my grandpa had a truck patch and raised peanuts and a few vegetables.

While I've never had cornbread and buttermilk I am quite certain I would like it. I did eat a lot of cornbread when visiting my grandparents but buttermilk was not part of their life in town in central Illinois.

Yeah I think buttermilk is partly a southern thing and partly a poor folks thing. Real whole buttermilk is not that easy to find, and I think if it wasn't used for cooking, such as making biscuits, cornbread, and things like that it might not even be around anymore.
