The combination may be a regional thing too. I'd never even heard of
it until I was in my 30's and had dinner with a friend at her parents
home. I commented I would never have thought of the combination.
They told me that was because I was a northerner. <shrug> The meal
was rather unremarkable. This was before I had taken an interest in
cooking.

Now that I cook I've tried the combination several times using various
cornbread recipes and I still don't understand the mix. I do love
cornbread but I grew up with it as breakfast food and was always
served with something sweet like butter and syrup. Maybe i just can't
get past my upbringing. I dunno.

Recently I've been making the Chi-Chi's spoonbread clone recipe and
very much prefer that with chili Mexican dishes.
