    And your IGNORANT post "takes the cake" for DUMBEST rfc "Post 'o the
    Year"....SHEESH...!!!

    Beside being starved for content, your continuing quest to be even more
    vulgar, irrelevant and pointless than Sheldon is proceeding wonderfully.

    No, seriously...

    [censored] Boy you are just jealous...

    <LOL> Right. Sheldon says that, too. Boy are you in the company you
    deserve. How on earth could I possibly be jealous of your illiteracy,
    ignorance and ineptitude? <LOL>

    idiot" but that would be a most severe insult to all the idjits out
    there (and there are many)...

    So much bluster and so many words - in fruitless quest of an idea.

    Read Pandora PANDEMIC's reply to Ranee...it makes NO sense. She has

    has her army boot all the way in yer grovelling FILTHY pie hole of a

    <LOL> Wonderful. Clear thinking. English reduced to formulaic words

    Now as to Ranee's original concern, I'd say go ahead and make the
    cornbread without the eggs, it'll do in a pinch...I've done it before,
    it's acceptable.

    Really. It is. And the demonstration of your stunted mentality,

    Pandora PANDEMIC ignorantly said:

    Cornbread doesn't need eggs, IMHO. It is a bread, not a cake!
    I always make my bread without eggs.

    And yer brain has NO cells...and let's face it, you don't even KNOW
    what cornbread is.

    Cornbread is a quick bread, which is technically a cake, a heavy cake
    but a cake nevertheless. Cakes can contain eggs or not... some don't
    even contain flour. Quick breads can contain eggs or not. Yeast
    breads can contain eggs or not. But here the Subject line says "Corn
    Bread"... a real bread, actually the king of breads, and doesn't
    contain any egg or a lick of corn. Now I just joined in here, didn't
    bother to read much but the last few posts to this thread... so don't
    know who the real idiots are, but I strongly suspect every one is
    filthy dirty ignorant guinea [censored]... only bread they know is what
    they *pickpocket*, called Conbread! <G>

    Guinea Conbread... get it! Hohoho....

    I believe, that there are two completely different corn breads
    discussed in this thread.

    Ranee was referring to Southern Corn Bread, Pandora to a very dense
    Jewish kind of Rye Bread, also called Corn Bread.

    I remember the disappointment, the first time I ordered Corn Bread in
    a Florida restaurant and was given a sweet, crumbly, sweet, almost
    cake like piece of something, that neither looked not tasted like the
    Rye Bread I expected. :o(

    Well, yes... but really, really easy to differenciate as they are

    with corn (maize)... "corn bread" (two words) is the one made with rye
    (and no corn).

    I didn't know that either! My husband, (bred in Tennessee), claims that
    "real" southern cornbread is dense and dry, not cakey, sweet and fluffy.
    I'm a West Coast ,USA girl sadly displaced in Florida, and am gently trying
    Southern style cooking. Not liking it, mind you, but gently trying. I
    haven't had good cornbread here yet. I'm used to the sweet cakey stuff,
    warmed up, with honey butter. Jill gave me her recipe, which looks
    promising, I just have yet to try it.

    It's nonsense. Here in the south where Sheldon doesn't live and I do,
    it's two words. And sometimes, one word. Point is, the rule isn't a
    rule. It's a sometime thing. Can be either way.

    Lots of sometimes things: pareve (non-dairy) corn bread
    <http://judaism.about.com/od/thanksgivingrecipes/r/bread_corn.htm>

    "Corn" or "korn" is an old word that used to mean any grain, whether
    seed or tiny piece of stone or anything else granular. That old meaning
    still survives in words like "peppercorn." In German, the grain of film
    is called "korn." Here's more info:

    I grew up in East Texas, and corn bread ("cornbread" was a perfectly
    acceptable alternate spelling) both always yellow. No rule about it,
    that's just the way it was. My wife grew up in Alabama, and the corn
    bread (I don't know how they spelled it) there was always white. Both
    Alabama and Texas -- especially East Texas* -- are part of the old
    South, and yet 2 different variations of corn bread. How can that be?
    I bet if one did some research, there would be at least a dozen
    different variations of corn bread, and it varies by family more than it
    does by region.

    Best regards,
    Bob

    *other parts of Texas are more like the American South West than the Old
    South, IMHO.

    I beg to differ; a lot of places make cornbread from white cornmeal, not
    yellow. No, it's not rye flour, it's cornmeal. But it is not always
    *yellow*.

    hehe. I know where you are coming from, Margaret.

    That sweet, almost cake like item is a Southern cornbread. But just
    to complicate matters, there is another Southern cornbread that is flat,
    dry and usually crumbly. In a Southern restaurant you can't ever be sure
    what you are getting until it arrives at the table.

    I make the sweet, cake-like cornbread and I'm always disappointed when I
    get the flat, dry stuff.

    Then there's cracklin' cornbread. boo, hiss. If you try this stuff, have
    your dentist's number handy.

    There is definitely a Southern US style cornbread that is distinctly
    different than cornbread from most other regions of the US. I'm not
    referring to what one gets in a restaurant, but what is made in private
    homes in the South. Agreed, it is a totally different type of bread than
    "corn bread".

    Note following differences:

    Little if any flour used in the batter
    Little if any sugar used in the batter
    Coarse cornmeal, more often white than yellow, and often stoneground
    Bacon or ham drippings most often used as the fat
    Buttermilk more often used than whole milk
    Baking soda more often used than baking powder
    Baked at a high temperature in cast iron until very crusty
    Some version made without eggs

    In the restaurants around here the chance of white or yellow cornbread
    is about 50-50. It just depends on what the owner wants to serve. My
    favorite is yellow cornbread, too!

    We always called it "Yankee cornbread" if it was sweet.

    It's a sometime thing. Can be either way.

    I grew up in East Texas, and corn bread ("cornbread" was a perfectly
    acceptable alternate spelling) both always yellow. No rule about it,
    that's just the way it was. My wife grew up in Alabama, and the corn
    bread (I don't know how they spelled it) there was always white. Both
    Alabama and Texas -- especially East Texas* -- are part of the old
    South, and yet 2 different variations of corn bread. How can that be?
    I bet if one did some research, there would be at least a dozen
    different variations of corn bread, and it varies by family more than it
    does by region.

    Yes, I think it's regional. White is prevalent in Mississippi, Alabama,
    the Carolinas, yellow in Tennessee and Arkansas. White in Kentucky, if you
    consider it part of the South. Other Southern states I'm not sure of.

    I never knew that. Thank you. :o)

    It's nonsense. Here in the south where Sheldon doesn't live and I do,
    it's two words. And sometimes, one word. Point is, the rule isn't a
    rule. It's a sometime thing. Can be either way.

    I grew up in East Texas, and corn bread ("cornbread" was a perfectly
    acceptable alternate spelling) both always yellow. No rule about it,
    that's just the way it was.

    So did Bush!

    Cone Bray-ed!

    Ahahahahaha. . . .

    Ranee was referring to Southern Corn Bread, Pandora to a very dense
    Jewish kind of Rye Bread, also called Corn Bread.

    I remember the disappointment, the first time I ordered Corn Bread in
    a Florida restaurant and was given a sweet, crumbly, sweet, almost
    cake like piece of something, that neither looked not tasted like the
    Rye Bread I expected. :o(

    hehe. I know where you are coming from, Margaret.

    That sweet, almost cake like item is a Southern cornbread. But just
    to complicate matters, there is another Southern cornbread that is flat,
    dry and usually crumbly. In a Southern restaurant you can't ever be sure
    what you are getting until it arrives at the table.

    We always called it "Yankee cornbread" if it was sweet.

    Bob

    tee hee hee. I didn't know Yankees made cornbread. My grandmother, who
    never even met a yankee (<g>😉, made everything sweet. She added a bit of
    sugar to just about everything she cooked. Something from the olden days.
    Many nights, "supper" was cornbread and "sweet milk" for her family "back
    in the day". Maybe she thought it had more food value if it had a little
    sugar in it or that it was tastier in the milk or buttermilk. I'm sure she
    had some reason that seemed logical at the time.

    Elaine, too
