Oh, I can get really nice yeast rolls in local restaurants. But only a
couple restaurants I have gone to serve cornbread muffins. They
certainly don't taste sweet or like cake.

I'd rather just make my own. Or the corn sticks (cornbread) I made; I
posted a pic of not all that long ago. Not sweet, not crumbly. Moist
and tasty.
