Was watching "Wagon Train" today and the 'Parson' asked if the gentleman would like a glass of "cool buttermilk". I was wondering how many here have actually drank buttermilk and if so did they like it. I happen to think it is great, but finding it is sometimes difficult.
 
Who hasn't had a cold glass of buttermilk?

Good for the digestion, good anytime. And what better snack than cornbread crumbled up in a glass of buttermilk? Mix til thick enough to eat with a spoon.

Well, unless it was really cold out, no one on the wagon train.

Yep, cool buttermilk, and warm milk straight from the source.

If you ain't been kicked by a cow, you ain't been kicked. :oops:

I would put buttermilk in the same class as liver. :evil:
 
I've wanted to find some real buttermilk for pancakes, I guess it is supposed to taste different than the "cultured" buttermilk sold in stores? The magazine, Cooks Illustrated, says to take cultured buttermilk and add a dollop of good mayonnaise. This is pretty close to real buttermilk supposedly. And nope, I've never had real buttermilk.
 
My old man use to pour a tall glass of Buttermilk add a crushed fist full of saltine crackers sprinkle it with salt and pepper and enjoy. Me I never acquired a taste for the stuff.

Unfortunate, I have to also...I say unfortunate as I LOVED the smell of fried liver and gravy my Mother made for Father, but couldn't swallow any. Father also loved buttermilk

Fox Mike,
When I was a little kid (1942) in Mount Pleasant Texas, my uncle Joe loved buttermilk.
I tried it, and did not like it. I do not like yogurt either. Not condemning butter milk,
just saying it is not for me.

Sorry, Fox Mike,
I am a fried liver man, and have been for 82 years, love it with onions. But I agree on not liking Buttermilk.

There's only one thing worse than liver. That's liver basted with buttermilk.
 
To all that want it, but haven't tasted it find local small dairy.

My mother got a gut bug that modern science and doctors could NOT cure after multiple surgeries. Although she hated it, she drank 4oz of non pasteurized (or whatever happens to buttermilk) from the local dairy farm twice a day. She was back to herself in a week. She kept on it for a month and would go back to it after any serious medical work.

It's good stuff.
 
I don't care much for buttermilk or the mustache it gives you when you drink a glass but my wife uses it for cooking occasionally.
 
I've tried it when I was younger, and as I got older my tastes changed I tried it again a year or so ago and found that I still can't swallow it. I do get some periodically for cooking....

I LIKE LIVER; BUT I draw the LINE at Buttermilk and Egg Plant !!
 
Long ago; there was a still operator at the plant where I worked (Southern Calf) that you could always tell when he was DRUNK; He would show up for the Midnight shift with a HALF GALLON of Buttermilk; He was a "Native American" but I don't remember which tribe. Made an excellent product those nights !!
 
One time our parents left us kids with the old lady next door while they went out. She gave us buttermilk----we thought she had poisoned us!

Since then I have developed a taste for it, on occasion. It makes great soda bread. I also like calves' liver, properly prepared. The best I ever had was at a Cajun restaurant. Haven't found good liver anywhere for years, and it isn't available at the supermarket.
 
Real buttermilk is the liquid left over after churning butter from cream.

Not to be confused with whey, which is the liquid left over after making cheese (the curds of the process) from whole milk.

"Cultured" buttermilk is made from pasteurized, homogenized milk to which stuff is added.

If I never see a glass of buttermilk or a plate of liver, I won't feel that I've ever missed anything. Just never took a liking to either.

Finally, a man after my own heart. He hates em' both.
 
Not a fan of buttermilk, but I love fried liver, beef, pork, chicken, or deer, doesn't matter, and please do not cook it to death, over cooked liver has no taste and the texture of cardboard.

I tried buttermilk when I was very young, waited 50 years before trying it gain.
Everyone's taste changes for some things when they get older, & knowing that, I decided to try it for a second time. No go. My taste didn't change for that.

Liver, heart, tongue? Bring it, potatoes on the side, please. Actually, I like cooked tongue that has been chilled, cubed, & served with fancy mustard for an appetizer. Had Bison tongue that way once in Denver, surprisingly good.

I have never personally done this but have seen this made. A sack in the basement dripping the whey. I still am a 'cottage cheese' lover.
 
Buttermilk seems to be like beer in the preference spectrum. You either love it or hate it. I still haven't decided about buttermilk completely, but as my Mama loved it over cornbread, I occasionally raise a short glass of buttermilk in her memory. 59 years old and still sure miss my folks. Don.
