My parents and grandparents did too, we must be related;

 

I 'make' buttermilk when needed for a recipe, but other than that, I'm not drinkin' anything 'chunky' that smells like that!

 

Not for 'the one above', love or money!

 

ETA: I felt the same way while watchin' them slurp down raw oysters.....that ain't happenin'!

 

I like oysters as long as they're cooked, but raw.....no way!

My grandmother mixed  buttermilk with canned chopped pineapple and put the mixture in a cold metal loaf pan and placed it in the freezer. She would stir the mixture several times as it began to freeze. Once frozen, all the grandkids loved eating it as a dessert.

@KingstonsMom  It's not chunky, it's made from skim milk and has the same calories.  I've always liked it but not with crumbled cornbread.  That's a "Southern" thing.

I make a delicious Banana cake using Buttermilk, and then of course pancakes & waffles a couple fruit/cool whip salads that call for Buttermilk, Buttermilk Fried Chicken, the list goes on.

 

I don't know if I could drink it though, BUT then again I have never tried it!

Being a Southerner, where buttermilk is a beverage as well as an ingredient, I've always found it a little hard to understand how people who embrace yogurt and love sour cream and enjoy a variety of cheeses somehow balk at buttermilk.  Maybe there's an impression that if it's still a liquid, it's not quite "done" yet ?????  {{ SMILES }}

I love buttermilk as a beverage!
My mom turned up her nose to it, but my dad drank it regularly.
I usually buy 2 half-gallons at a time, and favor Kemp's (brand) for best taste and texture.

It is the absolutely best treatment for upset or sour stomach. Soothes my stomach. Works well taken with meds that cause stomach issues. Works better than Pepto!

It's my understanding dairy has either a 'Best by' or a 'Sell by' date (NOT a 'Use by') and has to be good for one week past that stamped date.

buttermilk pie is so good.

 

I use it for baking, marinating, and have even enjoyed a buttermilk shake. This is what some call the cornbread mixed with the buttermilk .

@x Hedge  Thanks for the tip about buttermilk as a stomach soother.  I'll keep that in mind.

 

Also, @doxie1  I like the term "buttermilk shake" -- never heard that before.  Someone who used to post on the old Recipe Swap said her family ate their cornbread-in-buttermilk hot, like a soup.

Since I use only for baking, I wish I could find in a pint size. Has anyone tried any of the powdered buttermilks for baking?
