Do you drink buttermilk?

[Old_Fart]

One of my pals drinks buttermilk because he says that it cures hangovers. The smell of it made me sick and I can't figure out what it is and why would someone want to drink it?

[Jack_Dawson]

1. I thought my grandpa bought the last container?

I don't think I've seen one in the store since. Or I blocked it out.

[tuvor]

2. I used to, but I don't think I could stand it now.

Hell, I don't drink milk at ALL these days.

[Left Is Write]

3. No way. I remember my grampa loved it, though.

It's a great ingredient for cookies, pancakes, cakes and such, but to drink? Not me.

[AverageJoe]

4. I loved it when I was a kid

but haven't had it in years. Maybe I'll go buy me a quart....

5. The worst thing about buttermilk

is not the taste. It's the way the glass looks when you're thru!

7. My eyesight is bad

Who is that in your avatar?

9. An ancient goddess who looks just like me!

16. Greek Goddess?

6. My Mom used to drink it all the time.

I had to wash the glass. I get the shivers just thinking about it!

[Old_Fart]

8. What would happened if you added chocolate syrup to it

:puke:

[Suich]

15. Your smilie echoes my sentiments exactly!

10. My wife likes it. I occassionally drink it, with, lots of black pepper,

believe it or not.

[Robeson]

11. No. But my mom loves it, and mixes it with cornbread. Yes, I'm from....

...South.

[funkybutt]

27. Yeah, my grandma does the cornbread thing

I'm from the south too.

buttermilk looks so nasty, i don't think i've ever even tried it.

[tridim]

12. It's chock full of good bacteria

But I don't think the modern stuff (cultured milk) is really meant to be drank. I love it in waffles and pancakes though.

18. acidophilus

like yogurt---very good for your GI tract

[leftofthedial]

13. I make buttermilk

it's great to cook with

when I was a kid, I'm told I liked cornbread and buttermilk.

I can't even imagine . . .

[Old_Fart]

17. My mom use to do the same thing

14. Buttermilk?

Is that still around? We used to make it in Home Ec classes (60s). When it's fresh, it's not bad.

Now, eggnog! That's another story. I usually buy several litres at Christmas time and throw them in the freezer so I can enjoy the nutmeggy goodness all year long. 'course the rum doesn't hurt either.

[MissMillie]

19. eggnog is a thing of beauty

I add cognac to mine.

[noonwitch]

21. I've used it in recipes, but never have drunk it.

I made a bannana cake recently that I used it for.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

22. I think it's a generational thing

My maternal grandmother (born 1899) and my father (born 1911) both loved buttermilk and happily downed glasses of it.

Neither I nor my siblings can stand the stuff.

[indypaul]

23. Nothing like it on a real hot day.

Tall refreshing cool glass of buttermilk instead
of ice cream or yogurt.

24. My dad put cornbread in his.

He loved it. He also ate raw oysters--not in the shell fresh but in plastic containers from the A&P. :shrug:

[Old_Fart]

31. The A & P

My dad use to buy coffee for his percolator from the A & P. The aroma of coffee being made in the percolator has stayed with me for life.

[swag]

25. It's good stuff.

But not for everybody.

[Shell Beau]

26. Yuck!

No, but it is good in certain recipes!

[Mr. McD]

28. I love real churned buttermilk but

the cultured stuff they sell now days isn't that good.:)

[BikeWriter]

29. Not often, I love buttermilk pies, though.

[tjdee]

30. In a few bollywood movies I've seen, some Indians drink it....

It seemed completely normal, they asked someone if they wanted buttermilk...and the person offered it didn't freak out or go "EWWWW"...so maybe in some other cultures people drink it?

Or, my translations could have been bad.

:shrug:

[Orsino]

32. I did once. Never again. n/t
