Well, I sort of agree with you on that. I don't like other additions to
my cornbread. As far as sugar, my grandmother's original recipe called
for 1 tablespoon of sugar for a recipe that used 2 cups of cornmeal. I
generally leave out the sugar, but will add it on occasion. I can't say
it is actually "sweet" cornbread, but that small amount of sugar does make
some difference. OTOH, Northern "cornbread" which seems more like cake is
completely repellant to me. UGH!
