What the hell happened to cornbread? (Not Maxwell)

[BobPSU92]

So my wife and I go out to dinner last night, and the restaurant has “Iron Skillet Cornbread” as an appetizer. Sounds good. I love cornbread. We order it. They bring it out, and it has green stuff in it. Not mold, but peppers. What in Sam Hill are peppers doing in cornbread? I wasted no time sending it back.

I’ve also been in a few restaurants that bastardized cornbread with jalapeños. What is the matter with these people?

I hate our world.

Am I being politically incorrect? Equal rights for peppers and jalapeños?

I have another one for you.

A favorite pizza is thin crust with pineapple and ......wait for it.....jalapeño peppers.

Can I ask - what do you like it your latte's? If you say anything other than coffee and steamed milk, well...

My wife likes Hawaiian pizza. Disgusting. (The pizza, not my wife. )

I add Splenda to sweeten it.

I had the same experience recently at a BBQ joint. I don’t get it.

Part of being a man (a small part. I will admit) is shrugging off the food insecurities which you learned as a child.

Like Massimo with his coffee?

Yes.

Another part of being a man is being secure in who you are. I don’t like peppers.

We live in the age of Food Network chef wannabees. My step son is a chef and he chuckles at how most chefs/ cooks at places screw up basic items with their own take on traditional recipes. He blames Guy Fiere (sp) and triple D for most of it. With the chains it has permeated to the national/regional menu chefs that determine what they think the locals will like. They miss just as often as hit. It is very hard to find places that use basic ingredients and simple recipes anymore.

Cornbread, grits, scrapple what are they going to screw up next? These delicate dishes need no dressings .

I call it food fashion. One place bastardizes a classic or adds something new, everyone does it. This is particularly true of the chains. One place decided to do pickle chips, they all did it. One place decided to do loaded tater tots, they all did it. Pepper or jalapeño in cornbread is another. There is little originality or bucking the trends these days.

Can they smoke bacon with anything but Applewood?

 

[PSU Mike]

Did it have any seasoning, though?

Weed?

He needs no pepper.

How is it done in the overnight lots?

 

[rudedude]

Our local meat market has bourbon barrell bacon, so yes there is an alternative!

Do you need to use three compartment plates so your food isn’t touching before you eat it?

Apparently if you are afraid to have your food items touch each other, that is part of who you are. If you are secure in that, that is manly.

Hawaiian pizza is fine.....just not with peppers or jalapeños.

 

[PeetzPoolBoy]

Equal rights for peppers and jalapeños?

Jalapeños are peppers.

 

[ILLINOISLION]

I’ve just made a point of being clear with my waiters / waitresses what is in.....and what is NOT in.....my food. Started a few years ago when anchovies and/or peppers started showing up in my caeser salads, lima beans started showing up in my minestrone soups and mushrooms started showing up in my beef stroganoff, chicken pot pies and lasagna.

And I’ve had those jalapeños show up in my cornbread on more than one occasion, too. No thank you!

The Outta the Way Cafe in Derwood, MD is an exception, then.

Try playing ...grab the pineapple ring from my post.

 

[palmettolion]

Time and a place for everything. I'd rather have a piece of spoon cornbread with cheese and peppers in it under a bowl of chili than regular cornbread on the side.

If there's an Earthfare near you, they have black forest bacon. It's really, really good.

 

[loosey goosey]

I must say,I had the cornbread stuffing with my Thanksgiving catering order from the Cracker Barrel.I didn't like the texture and far prefer traditional stuffing.Better mouth feel and ability to hold gravey.

Lol, I only just now understood the weird addendum to the subject line.

Love the Hawaiian pizza. New London pizza in Prospect Park makes a great Hawaiian.
Mrs. delcoLion thinks I’m nuts.

Well, I feel like we have done Mr. Maxwell a disservice by not recognizing him in this thread,

Last we heard, he was on the Celtics broadcast team. No information on the status of his silver hammer though.
