The product is misnamed since it's not buttery at all and has much less fat than regular milk. Regardless, it works well as a battering agent for fried foods. Southerners are well known for marinating their chicken pieces in buttermilk overnight before they fry it properly. It creates a perfect coating before you dip the chicken into flour. And I don't make skillet cornbread without buttermilk--it's essential.
I read or heard somewhere that drinking it settles the stomach. I don't know if that's all that true, but I sure like drinking a small glass of it from time to time. Good stuff, people.

Mark another check to tally the fluff pieces! :)
What about Buttermilk being applied to the hangover situation?
Southern?

Buttermilk to help with a hangover?
Hmmm...I don't know about that home remedy, but I distinctly remember a gentleman who lived in Kirksville for quite a while (worked at Hy-Vee) who swore by drinking a big glass of milk to help "coat his stomach" before going out.
"Southern".........Was more refrencing your stint in the South plus you strong appreciation for the South.
I know, Kenson. I like to bust balls.
Likewise........
You talkin about me Taylor??
Yes, Mr. Horner, I am referring to you. And I'm glad to see you're part of the Planned Ob community. It's an exclusive club, my brother.
I can't remember whether you drank milk before going out or after? It was before you/we went out, right?
