Simple if you think about it. Corn bread, onions, and butter milk was a late night snack for some of the older folks when I was coming up.Quite possible you are a generation, and geographically removed from such events. It's one of them, you kindly had to be there, to take it all in.
Corn bread and onions I can do. Love em both, separate or together. Buttermilk? That's another story. I use it in coleslaw dressing and for making biscuits sometimes. I will not drink it.
My daddy was from Alabama and we lived in Indiana. He used to eat some things that them Hoosiers thought was pretty strange. Cornbread and sorghum molasses in a glass of milk. Saltines and sugar in a glass of milk. Fried okry, as he called it. He loved his dessert, and if my ma hadn't baked a pie or a cake or something for dessert, he would make his own. When the peaches were ripe he would go get a peck or so and make his "fried pies". Goodness.
