True southern cornbread is dense and tasteless and made in a cast iron pan and requires butter and honey.

I feel like it was SA where this happened (or, more likely, “happened”). British expat wanted to try American PB&J but was so used to buttering sandwiches that they started slathering on a layer on butter, then pb, to the shock of the crowd

I never put butter on my bread. I feel like this was more common among my parents' generation, although I don't think they do it anymore (so might actually even be a post-war habit).

This is a debate I've had in Danish workplaces at breakfast: butter under jam/Nutella or not? It extends to lunch, with liver pate too.

The right answer is either no butter or the superior Nutella+chocolate, optionally with peanut butter on top.

It's actually good to use margarine once in a while because by law they're required to add vitamins A and D to it here and it might otherwise be hard to get enough vitamin D from other foodstuffs (your skin can generate it if you live in a sunny enough place but that's not the case in winter if you're at high enough latitudes.)

Family lines die out all the time, though. Here in Norway we have really high-quality census data from 1801/1802 (much treasured by genealogists); turns out the modern population is descended from something like 25% of everyone who lived here back then. The rest of the family lines just kind of petered out in the meantime.

(Or emigrated; but that accounts for maybe 15%, not 75%.)

Fun fact! This breaks down very heavily along racial lines, with black southern cooks using sugar and white southern cooks avoiding it. The split seems to date to the early 20th century, when cornmeal production shifted to mechanized mills and the corn used in the process shifted from sweeter white corn to the earthier yellow corn.

Really makes me wonder what they mean by "normal" conservatism, that presumably isn't religious or nationalist.

Just pure authoritarianism, no attachment to any ideology or religion.

I lived a Winter broke and without heat in my apartment some years back and a big thick slice of toast slathered with melty butter is the greatest and most enjoyable affordable luxury. George Orwell's "tea and two slices".

That's not what conservatism is though, and authoritarianism can overlay most political ideologies.

Erdogans's conservatism has always been very much postured against the conservatism of the Republicans / military. And he only pivoted towards MHP style ethno-Turkish nationalism and neo-Ottoman revisionism after his original islamist conservative alliance started to wane in power, and it was a sign of weakness. Prior to getting his lunch eaten by Kurdish nationalists in his usual strongholds, he was the great Satan the MHP hated above anybody else. He can't be said to blend the three strands as they actually exist in Turkey, and definitely not that this blend is what got him to power.

Conservatism is just defering judgement to some authority in the past. If you’re a Generic Conservative, clearly you just want someone, anyone, to tell you what to do since you can’t even be bothered to pick a specific past.
