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.
Are you the Southern version of Cliff Claven?
ReplyDeleteMark another check to tally the fluff pieces! :)
What about Buttermilk being applied to the hangover situation?
Southern?

Buttermilk to help with a hangover?
ReplyDeleteHmmm...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.
ReplyDeleteI know, Kenson. I like to bust balls.
ReplyDeleteLikewise........
ReplyDeleteYou talkin about me Taylor??
ReplyDeleteYes, 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.
ReplyDeleteI can't remember whether you drank milk before going out or after? It was before you/we went out, right?
