NEVER Pour Buttermilk Down the Sink Again — Try This Old IRISH Trick

Never throw out buttermilk again, and never buy it again either. The old Irish way to keep a jug of buttermilk going for good, from a farmhouse kitchen outside Ballycroy in County Mayo. The buttermilk you buy in a carton is not buttermilk. The real thing came out of our churn every Friday, and not one drop of it went down the sink. What real buttermilk is, and how to get it today with nothing but a jar and a carton of cream. What to do with the half carton sitting in your fridge after one recipe. The bastible trick for a tough old bird that has it falling off the bone, and how to do the same tonight with chicken thighs or a cheap cut of pork. How long it really keeps. And the one use my mother had completely wrong, which had me washing my face in a saucer of it every summer from the age of nine. Then the last cup. The reason there was always buttermilk in our house, even in the middle of winter with the cow dry. Tell me in the comments: did anybody in your family drink buttermilk? And could you stand it?
