There is no food related holiday today – not that I could find anyway. So I pose this question: why would you make buttermilk as opposed to buying it?

I have an actual reason for asking. It’s not just that I was puttering around yesterday afternoon and was suddenly floored by the lunacy of such an action. I suppose if you were making something that required only a smidge of buttermilk, that would make sense. Of a OCD kind. But do any recipes only require a pinch of buttermilk?

And since I’ve asked my random food question – I throw the floor open to you. Is there something culinary you’ve always wondered about? A foodstuff that left you speechless? People eating the same leaving your even more so and you wonder why they would do that? Stumped with what do to with all those mangoes you got on sale?

Ask away. We might even find an answer for you.
