You do NOT, for example, want to start an argument about the "best" cornbread with a group of elderly southern Black women if you know what is good for you (or about BBQ amongst the men). And that is not a wealthy snobbish demographic.
White stone-ground cornmeal, not that yellow stuff. No wheat flour, whole wheat or not. Buttermilk, real buttermilk. It's better if you grease the pan with bacon fat, but butter will do.
And I know several elderly black women who will back me up on that ...
BBQ is really controversial down here. We live on the tomato line. Some of you know what that means ...

Is it biblical? Is it Christlike? Is it loving? Is it true? How can I find out?

Very southern cornbread. Many around here make that too. I'm a northerner and make what others call sweet cornbread and more cake like. The southern one is not my cup of tea/or coffee.
And yes BBQ is a big thing that can invoke much emotion- to say the least.
Muskrat is also big around here in Jan- I'll let them enjoy it and let them enjoy my portion too.
I have no personal convictions on what kind of coffee or how much to drink. Every day, being retired, we take a drive somewhere and usually start out with a MacDonalds coffee. We chose them over Tim Horton's as for some reason the MacDonalds sits best on our stomachs. And, being seniors, MacDonalds gives a senior discount.
Our coffee at home is half decaf and half regular and quite weak.
I don't get that specific in my Christian stewardship choices as I live under grace not the law.

So where do you see yourself on the coffee snob scale? Vote and discuss. If you do not drink coffee, and prefer tea or some other hot beverage, feel free to comment.
I'm not a coffee snob, but I'm a spelling snob, so I raised my nose right up in the air when I saw this thread.
And speaking of coffee and spelling, one of our sales reps just gave me this for Christmas. Pin the tail on the spelling error. Life must be too short to get the spelling right on your fancy packaging!

Remember the prisoners, as though you were in prison with them, and the mistreated, as though you yourselves were suffering bodily. -Heb. 13:3
It seems "tostado" might actually be correct in context, even if the beans are not served on a tortilla. That's one I would have questioned. Maybe "asado" primarily applies to meat.

tostado is correct. It just means roasted beans (as opposed to unroasted green beans)

Yeah, I know you Americans like to leave "u's" out but this is maybe going a bit far, eh?
