I am not sure if anyone eats like this anymore but down here in the southern USA we still like our cornbread and milk.
I think this way of eating began back in the depression of the 1930`s when there was very little money and less food. If you did not grow it and preserve it you could starve.
What people would do is cook a meal each day and eat off of it all day long, meaning when supper time came around there might be just cornbread left. If they owned a cow they always had milk so that was supper, cornbread and milk.
How to make cornbread :
First heat an iron skillet with a little canola oil, or oil of your choice, on a preheated oven of 400°.
Next on a bowl add :
2 cups of cornmeal
2 tablespoons of sugar
1 egg
enough milk or water to moisten the mixture, not to thin and not to thick.
Pour into the skillet of hot oil, bake till edges turn golden brown, about 30 minutes.
Now comes the good part, slice and while hot put into the milk. This is one of the best flavors ever!
While some like good plain milk some go for the buttermilk, I am one of those that does and its just as good, of not better.
While I like a little diced onion in my milk and bread I have to pass nowadays due to the old heartburn.
If you have never tried milk and cornbread, do it once or twice and see if its not a new go to for supper.

Looks delicious. I think i will prepare this cake.
Its not a sweet, its more savory.
I can see where cornbread and milk would be filling, but I prefer to drink tea with mine, slather the cornbread with apple butter or honey, and have it as a snack.
Never had apple butter on cornbread, that is interesting.
I’m a great fan of apple butter. Had it on my toast this morning. Do you make it?
Yes I make apple butter, I love it too.
Never had it but sounds good.
I say ” Try it once if you do not like it, try it again another time, never know.”
We all ate this growing up. I don’t do milk these days but love cornbread and butter.
I cant do milk often myself, but Tony loves it.
So delicious, I love cornbread!
So do I, I cook it and what is left I freeze for more meals.
I had not had cornbread in some time, but, I love it.
M e too, I love it with cabbage or beans.
Of course it was a cheap flour and procedure before. Now I don’t know
Yes cornmeal is still cheap, about $2.50 for 5 pounds.
My mom still makes the best cornbread around. She loves it with milk, I like mine with beans!
I eat mine with beans all the time.
Cornbread tastes good, I think it should be more popular.
It still is down here in Alabama
