You probably thought all 'Southerners' drink iced tea, too.

My biggest disappointment in cornbread when on a visit to Boston a number of
years ago. I was walking around with my friend, who relocated there after
she was married. We sat down in a bar to have a beer and this employee guy
started handing out plates of cornbread. She whispered to me, "You won't
like it." There was so much sugar in that darned cornbread it might as well
have been white cake with pure sugar icing.
