I was watching a recent episode of DDD and one of the featured
places was The Farmer's Shed Kitchen - a restaurant attached to
a farm market. All the stuff they make is made from stuff they
grow.

Anyway, the reason I bring it up is that all my adult life I've
heard the song and dance about how true southern cornbread (and
hushpuppies, etc.) does not contain sugar. Southerners don't eat
it sweet. Well, the Farmer's Shed is in Lexington, SC a little
west of Columbia and not all too far from Georgia. You can't
get more Southern!

One of the things they are famous for is their cornbread - which
contains sugar and even has brown sugar sprinkled on top before it
is baked. All the locals eating there were raving about how it was
just like home. So how do you explain that, pray tell.

Sounds really yummy to me!

I like my cornbread sweet, but I always thought it was because
I was half Northern and raised in the North and didn't know no
better. ;-)
