nectar of the gods.

+1 agreed, I enjoy a frosty cold glass on a hot summer day.

Mighty good, but not exactly. A fine womans peach cobbler.....

I never dreamed of drinking butter milk..

Younger-self, gagged on that nasty stuff.

Never more...

Me neither.

[bleep] that!

Love it.

Ice cold, in a glass with salt and pepper.
In a bowl with mashed potatoes.
Often just chug a quart.

Back in the day when my grandparents bought it directly from the dairy there were actually small flecks of butter in it.

WTF?

Nasty stuff.

it's good, always have some in the icebox, plus 1 one on the salt and pepper.

All my drunks on the roofing jobs, I’d stop and get them a qt of buttermilk. Cept one dude, had to have his mtn dew

Set it up on the chimney cap in the morning sun. By 10:30, it’s good to go.

All them cultured critters....ease the hangover for my main man ‘Shaky Mike’. lol

The original OG energy drank.

Same here. Id near puke if i smelled the old man drink some, until one Sunday high school morn i was headed to Church and dying with a hangover.

Stopped by the filling station i worked at and asked the old Negro working there what to do. Told him i was dying. He told me and i stopped by the whatever and bought a pint. I mean, i almost fainted when he told me what i had to do. Wouldnt have done it but i was dying.

Held my nose and drank it and went to church. I think it saved me. Dont know which saved me first.

Now days youngsters have had a taste of spoiled homogenized milk and instantly associate the taste with that. Big mistake. I mean, rememder that first taste of a womans peach pie?

Real clabbered churned buttermilk, leftover liquid from making butter, is good stuff haven't had it since I was a kid.

Another magic negro intervenes and saves the day

LOL

it's one of the little pleasures in life I really enjoy.

Buttermilk is some good schitt and good for you.







Same here. I also like crumbling up cornbread in a bowl with buttermilk, salt and pepper and eating it like cereal. I remember seeing the yellow flakes in some brands back in the day.

My wife found a carton in the refrigerator on Sunday. She turned it into scones, pizza crust and an amazing lemon/blood orange cake. It was a good day.

Seriously, I don't think I've ever had it. Sounds pretty gross...

The true aficionados will understand, when you get a really good quart, dump in a palm full of salt/pepper and shake like hell.....it's almost has a feel of being carbonated? Many times Ive tilted the quart , and just can't stop till it's empty....good chit.

you know.

The other little pleasure being "side" pussy?

Hahaha!


Thats like saying you like knitting and free base.

Not as a beverage anymore but as an ingredient in cornbread. Corn bread BTW is not very common in Germany. Some elder people still have nightmares when thinking of the stuff that was given to them under the name von "cornbread" after WWII.

that's always been a given, can't have just one.

No, thank you.

Buncha lard asses.

have lost 8lbs in the last two weeks. might go play golf
,,,... not.

^^^^^^^

Grandmother would drink the crap.
And she felt that if she liked it and wanted it,
I did too.

Forced me to drink it.

Buttermilk is nasty.
Granny wasn't much better.

My grandmother loved it.She'd pour it in a bowl, crumble up cornbread in it, and that was her supper many times. We keep a carton in the fridge to cook with, but I'd never drink it unless I was absolutely forced to.

I use it when I'm baking bread.

Regular buttermilk for cooking, Bulgarian buttermilk for drinking. miles

I love to drink the stuff, and do a lot of cooking with it as well

Use it in several dishes
I've drank it before, but not as a rule.
Hard to find in this neighborhood anyway.
Granny and aunt both did the crumbled cornbread
in a glass of buttermilk and drank it like the best
milkshake that ever was.
Granny lived to 95
Aunt 91 and still here
Mother didn't like it and passed at 88

My dad used to crumble cornbread into a glass full of bm plus salt and pepper. I have tried many times to like it but haven’t succeeded yet. Maybe I ain’t trying hard enough.

you either like to don't. my father and I are the only ones in the house who do.

I haven't had buttermilk since I was a kid, but I'm partial to lassi, which is not a million miles away from it. It is plain yogurt mixed with water to a consistency like milk, with a bit of salt and sometimes a few mint leaves. Goes well with a hot curry. Anyone else like it?

Mom and dad, both grandmothers and many of my kinfolk loved buttermilk but I never could stomach it. One of my earliest memories is eating at a restaurant with parents, me about 3 or 4 years old, and dad sneaking and having the server give me a glass of buttermilk instead of my usual whole sweet-milk. First sip I gagged and threw the glass as far and as hard as I could breaking it and spit as much as I could that I already had in my mouth all over the counter top. Don't mind buttermilk pancake, biscuit, etc., mixes but still can not drink it straight.

I’m headed out to the store for a couple quarts later today.

Don’t forget the pale of lard.

Makes the best white russians, puts a twist on the same ole same ole.

Buttermilk, cornbread and black pepper is the best👍

The Irish have buttermilk on their steel-cut oatmeal, and it's pretty darn good. I indulge myself in some buttermilk once in a while as a treat. Buttermilk is like so many other things that seem just plain awful the first time you try them, but if you get to a second try, turn out to be enjoyable. By your third time, you're almost hooked.

Never heard of the salt and pepper thing; I drink mine straight. One important tip: rinse the glass immediately or buttermilk will pit the glass.

Funny you should mention that. Growing up there was always a block of lard in the refrigerator.
Never knew there was any other way to cook meat (steak, hamburger, pork chops) than frying it in lard in a cast iron pan until I was 13 or 14 years old. My grandmother was Slovak and she used a lot of lard for cooking, delicious.

Tried some....pretty sour!

Hmmm, never heard of buttermilk eating away glass🤔 if that's the case just think of what it would do to your insides?

Buttermilk, cornbread and black pepper is the best👍

You guys are aliens....

"Pit" the glass may be a bit of an exaggeration, but if you leave that film of buttermilk on glass for an extended time (such as in the dishwasher) it will frost the glass.

Buttermilk pancakes are tasty.

You can keep your BMilk, eggnog too !

Gross 🤮

🦫

Are your glasses from the 1800s?

“Pail”

I like it but it’s been awhile. Might look for some here now that you made me think of it.

Jar of sauerkraut had a half a glass of juice left in it last night. Chugged it and mixed it with a white claw. Very tasty.

I would rather drink buttermilk than beer!! Love it in a bowl with day old cornbread or fresh bread.

Neil

Dang.


You carry around an ORM-D sticker when you travel??

Day old cornbread, wrap in paper towel and nuc for 10-15 seconds. Almost like fresh made, but not quite. miles

Great for recipes; totally disgusting to drink.

Holy Fugg! Been an exec chef for 30 years and this is first I’ve ever heard of drinking that schitt! Now, I cook with it
Plenty. Irreplaceable in a scratch ranch dressing, others. Baking, some cakes and breads. Marinades and battering for various fried [bleep], but drinking it?!.....

WHUH

Exactly.

For those that use a lot of buttermilk, you can make your own at less than half the price at the store. Buy a half gallon of one percent milk, pour in a pint or so of buttermilk. Shake really well. Leave on counter all day (warm). That night shake again and put in frig. Next day the one percent should be thick, approach pudding thickness. Shake and drink. Use until the last 2-3 inches in the half gallon and add that to a new half gallon of one percent...never have to buy buttermilk at the store again. IT WORKS.

And - you can pass the starter on to your friends! "My great-grandmother started this buttermilk during the Civil War."

Lactic acid, what makes silage keep.

Nothing like a plate of silage and a glass of buttermilk!

I'll admit to tasting silage.


Wasn't any better than BM.

Impossible to find the real thing anymore

Oh there are some nasty mennonites around here, bet I could score some.

when I was a kid we had a few milk cows. Mom would make butter and save the buttermilk. My brother loved it but I couldn't stand it. Still can't.

must be an acquired taste that i have never acquired. i will use it in cooking though. my old man always drank it with a bunch of S&P on top. of course he also ate souse, blood pudding, limburger and a lot of other horrid things. he was a mans man.

My father used to buy concentrated buttermilk in big yellow barrels to feed hogs. We still may have a couple of the barrel staves.

Few things in the world smell as good as silage. I've ate some too.

Lordy, i can happily eat my beer with a big shot of homemade salsa in it, cant get by the chunks and smell of buttermilk, is it not rotten/clabbered regular milk?

I'll send you a pic of what i consider 'nectar of the gods'

That 'shine you sent me the real nectar of the gods.

Dang.

.

I'd say more like spunk of the devil, but that's just me.

Probably had a little "nectar" mixed in. Was it cloudy? Did you get pregnant after imbibing?

Now that you mention it....I am a little late....
..

Pears sent.

Give the baby a spanish name at least.

When I was a short person, I could not stand it. However, as I have aged quite a bit, I do enjoy buttermilk. Like beer, the colder, the better. Way back when, I remember it used to have little yellow flakes of butter in it. My understanding is that the processing has changed a bit. I don't like lowfat buttermilk near as much and the "Bulgarian Style" is much better tasting. My favorite brands are Dairy Fresh found in Alabama and parts of Mississippi, Hiland found in Arkansas and Borden found here in Texas. Of the three "Bulgarian Style" buttermilks mentioned, I like Dairy Fresh and Hiland the best. Never tried it with black pepper. Goes real good with corn bread. Odd how a person's taste can change over the years. My wife cannot stand it, but sure likes what I cook with it. Try it as a replacement for regular milk, or what we used to call "sweet milk", when making gravy. Good stuff there!

Hideous!

It sucks that you can only find "low fat" buttermilk out here.



Thats gayer'n aids.

WTF is the point?

So gay. Rheeeeeeeeee!

Its for cooking n schit.

I need to buy some, just to taste it, so I can have a frame of reference here. I gotta plead total ignorance on this thang.

Consider yourself lucky - ignorance is bliss in this case.

Hahaha! Says the guy who used to skin hog schit outta hog guts and then pack them in a pail.

I'm going to Walmart later this week.

I'll get some...to be continued..

My Walmart is not the best place to buy buttermilk. I think they carry an upscale brand and usually only have a few containers of it. I buy mine at one of the local grocery stores.
OTOH Walmart Great Value 1/2 & 1/2 for coffee is the absolute best, always very fresh and the price is right.

It's like drinking puke. Silage, isn't that what livestock eat?

I grew up on a dairy farm and my mother and grandmothers churned our butter. That probably made the best buttermilk and it still sucked. Good in homemade ice cream though.

Gag reflex...hurl.

It's good cooking, Buttermilk marinated chicken.

Hey, at least I was smart enough not to eat them!

Hahaha!

That is true.

Of course, Roy had both Trigger and Bullet stuffed when they passed. This caused Dale a great deal of concern.

One time when I got real run down I got a mouth full of canker sores, My GP told me to drink a quart of buttermilk a day and they would go away. It didn't work but by the end of the first week I was addicted to buttermilk. I finally went to Austin Diagnostic Clinic and they prescribed some mouthwash with tetracycline in it. The canker sores disappeared in a few days.

I always have some in the fridge.
