Hi Catherine,
Well, here's a Texan that insists on sugar in his cornbread. Sweetened
cornbread is goood. If it wasn't why would so many people eat it for breakfast
with honey, mollases, syrup, etc. I like my cornbread sweetened just a little bit
even with pintos,onions and peppers, with a chunk of ham or hocks cooked in the
beans.
