Melisssa, I do it the same. I hate sweet corn puddings.
(and sweet corn bread--we used to whip up chocolate icing to put ont he cornbread from Boston Market back in the day. We treated it as a corn cake with chocoate icing and it was OK that way!)
Bacon fat, cream, butter, corn, eggs, salt, and the slightest specks of red chili and freshly grated nutmeg. And lots of black pepper.
Southern yes, but the part of Ohio I grew up in (the crotch of Ohio-Kentucky-West Virgina) is VERY southern. I grew up eating corn pudding, greens with pork, green beans and new potatoes with pork, corn bread, sausage gravy with biscuits, country ham, fried corn off the cob in bacon grease (ohmygawd!), fried cabbage in bacon grease, transparent pies, blackberry jam cakes with caramel icing, ambrosia, and sweet iced tea to name a few. That was intermingled with the German fare from grandmother's table. They had all melded into one cuisine by the time I came around. Amazing memories.
