I like how Ray is playing this but I have no idea what cornbread is as I have only seen it in american movies? What is it's texture, it's density? Is it bready as the name implies or more like an english muffin, is it some sort of wheaty spongecake? I cannot imagine it being sweet, though the whole concept reminds me of pumpkin scones (which are simply the best use you can put a pumpkin to by the way).

Like a bread pudding, but a little firmer and prone to crumble under pressure.

[Doc]

Oh
actually that does sound like pumpkin scones.

I'd be more likely to describe it as grainy, slightly sweet almost-cake.

And nowhere near as brittle as a scone.

[side_show]

Yes.  Definitely not like a scone.  There are a lot of variations, but everytime I've had it I've found it to be slightly sweet and moist/tender.  The granular quality comes from corn meal.  I generally agree that there should not be crap added, but a few kernels of corn, just lightly added in, are cool with me.

Are there really pre-made mixes for cornbread?  It's so damn easy to make though!  Anyway, in my book nothing can make cornbread classy - it's just not classy, sorry.

I do enjoy the diced-up jalapenos in cornbread. And there are indeed instant mixes for cornbread. So, instead of four ingredients, you have two.

Agreed.  To borrow a meme, eating cornbread is like eating watermelon.  Nothing classy about it.  Its not a knock either - but if you have a fork in one hand, scooping hot chili from a bowl into your hungry face, with the other hand wrapped around a buttered hunk of cornbread I can guarantee you're happy.  Just don't think that you'll catch Martha Stewart or QE2 doing it.

Of course, how often do you see them happy?

Actually, HRH keeps cornbread in her little purse.

Well, I'm glad the Colonies benefited the Empire in some, small way.

This "Cornbread" of which you speak sounds pretty dang good. I love the fact Leon Sumbitches is getting so tired of explaining that he is in fact Brian Wheat, that he must come up with an acronym to convey said fact. This is probably the scammer equivalent of LMFAO or something.

[littlefox]

Dannnng, cornbread is so good.

I'll probably end up trying Muse_of_Fire's cornbread recipes soonish, because I like kitchen experiments and have been known to make up recipes on the fly as well. I shall post pictures of my success and/or failure.

During much of the time I was General Counsel to the State Fire Marshal's Office, the State Fire Marshal's nickname, which he went almost exclusively by, was "Cornbread".

God I love this state.

[littlefallsmets]

the State Fire Marshal's nickname was "Cornbread".

Cornbread? Ain't nothin' wrong with that.

[Nabubrush]

Pronounced "Khaaanbread"?
