I looked Hope in the face and told her that "I don't like cornbread." I meant it. It is never a pleasant experience needing to douse my throat with some form of liquid to avoid the inevitable choking sensation while eating it. Cornbread is crude, lifeless and oftentimes a culinary abomination. Hope looked me in the face, and said that she "promised" I would like her cornbread. I did not believe her. Our friendship was momentarily on the line. After repeatedly telling me that she makes incredible cornbread, wanting me to try it, I gave in and accepted her proposal. I am known to my friends as a "straight-shooter." It is very hard for me to lie with a straight face when it comes to food regardless of who made it. So please allow me to proclaim to the world that Hope has made the first cornbread I have ever tried that I don't just like....I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! <3 It is soft. It has great texture, and tastes incredible! I immediately ordered for myself and ate the entire order in one business day! It is truly THAT good. I plan order many more batches to share with my family when I visit them because they are not going to believe how good this cornbread is. And I come from a cooking family so, believe me when I say, if I am willing to share this cornbread with MY family, it has to be TRULY SPECIAL. You will not be disappointed if you try it!
