I wonder if that 'cultured buttermilk' is a North American thing or
also European. My mother hated buttermilk and I copied that without
ever trying it, so I don't know much about it.

You live there so you can check. FWIW, my father loved buttermilk. It
always grossed me out to watch him do that, but I was not much less
repulsed to watch my brothers drink milk.

When I look at the Dutch Wikipedia, they also distinguish the original
meaning (side product of butter making) and the modern meaning
(cultured skimmed milk).

I'm frying sole fillets tonight - rice flour, some onion powder and
white pepper, seasoned salt and of course an egg wash.

Never had a complaint - the rice flour makes a superior coating to wheat
flour.

when I was growing up we had real buttermilk. It had little specks of
butter in it and was thick and creamy. It tasted different too.

The main problem is that nobody seems to be aware of what my question was about. No matter. The way I figure it, what's left over from the manufacture of butter gets added to skim milk and is cultured into buttermilk. That's something that I totally made up but it's the best answer I got yet.

Here in predatory RFC you might just as well have told everyone your
brother was (or is) ***.

I'm beginning to weary of these senile assholes in a palpable and
largely irreversible way.

I do not include you, Ms. O, or Cheri in that yawning disappointment
tunnel, nor certain others who know who and what they are.

Nori up bro.

We all need a firewall against our surly sides.

I've seen buttermilk cole slaw recipes before. But the idea that buttermilk
is required for cole slaw is risible.

Since nobody here works in commercial butter manufacture, why don't you
just ask Google?

I remember the stuff being thin. The (cultured) buttermilk we get here
is really thick. I often have to thin it down to get the right texture
for batters.

Duly noted. I haven't yet tried buttermilk for cole slaw (and I have
no interest in KFC knockoffs), but that's probably because I don't
often have it on hand. I do like it a lot for ranch dressing; I
use the Joy of Cooking recipe (more or less), but without the mayo
because I prefer a thinner dressing. Better coverage with less
dressing, and the taste of the vegetables comes through more
clearly. Perhaps I would find the same to be the case with cole
slaw.

I have no idea what this is about or what I have to do with it. I

Oddly enough, there are some things that you can't find by Googling. What I did find out is that real buttermilk is trending. The trendy stuff is European style made with cultured cream, not fresh cream so it's thicker than American style buttermilk. The dirty little secret is that you can't get it in stores. That's the breaks.

My father loved buttermilk as a beverage. I never could stand to drink
it. Yes, it makes a nice addition to chicken or fish batter. It's also
a good addition to cornbread.

I don't usually have buttermilk on hand so I do the vinegar in milk
trick Dave mentioned. I've used buttermilk powder in the past when baking.

I was able to find that the buttermilk from commercial butter production
ends up being dried. I wasn't interested enough to try to find out
what happens after that. My kung fu is superior.

I have faint memories of it from late 1950s. I sort of lost track of
buttermilk until a few years ago when I bought some to try a lemon scone
recipe. It is much thicker than I remembered it. The powdered stuff I
frequently use makes a much thinner product.

I guess my family was different. My grandfather's special dessert treat
was a bowl of maple syrup with bread and butter. My father's cough
remedy for us, much to my mother's disgust, was a shot of whiskey.

you can buy it as a shelf stable ingredient for baking. It eliminates
the leftovers in the fridge. It cannot be re-hydrated to soak chicken
and fish and make salad dressings.

I need more information on this. Please cite a source. Otherwise, your kung fu sucks.
