Cornbread can be eaten with a spoon if it's in a glass of milk or buttermilk.
That's the way Dad did it. Mom was from the hills of Tennessee and made cornbread literally every night. I never experienced the sweet or jalapeñoed heresy until I left home.
I'm sure Mom learned the art of cornbread with meal grown on their place and ground at the mill down the hill. Grandpa preempted some for more liquid purposes I hear. 😁
