OP, we are living a life dictated by "norms set up by someone once upon a time world". Heck if you love it, eat it ! If your kids pick it up and do it on Scout camps, maybe it will spread.

It's a southern thing. My mother and her siblings, who grew up during the depression, had a variation on it - broken up pieces of cornbread with milk, in an tall iced tea glass. Don't know if it was regular milk or buttermilk. Never stayed around to find out - ran from the dining room making gagging noises.

Saltines in Milk
Am I the only one who enjoys this delicacy? I mentioned it to a group of friends, and they all thought the idea was totally disgusting. But it is something my grandfather used to have all the time, my father enjoys, I enjoy, my mother isn't crazy about it but the idea isn't foreign to her. I am talking simple saltines in milk. Especially when they get all nice and mushy.
