A southern comedian said that cornbread, prepared properly, has to be so salty it sucks every bit of the moisture out of your body.
That may be overstating it, but do any of you -- like the comedian and me -- hate sweetened cornbread, and love "savory" or somewhat salty cornbread? My mom always made cornbread you'd eat primarily with cheese or butter or gravy or meat, and she never put a speck of sweetening in it. To us, that would have just been wrong.
When you answer, let me know whereabouts you grew up. I am curious as to whether this preference is a Southern or a Northern thing.
And by the way, I never heard of the concept of sweet and sour until I was about 25. Thanks.
