Today, my brother and I got into an intense argument that ended up with us trading blows and having the cops called on us. Apparently I was "insulting his intelligence" by trying to explain that you don't make buttermilk by putting butter in milk. He's 18. FML
davincidasecond tells us more.
This is OP. So to clear things up, neither of us really got into to much trouble, we just got off with a warning. The argument started off with the buttermilk issue and then touched on other personal issues (that I won't disclose), which is why the argument got so heated. One thing led to another, I shoved him, he punched me, i retaliated, etc. and soon enough the cops knocked on our door because neighbors called about a noise disturbance, not because we started to get physical. We usually butt heads about stupid things but this is the only time it got so bad. I take 100% responsibility for what I did, yes, it was stupid, and I completely deserve it. He and I apologized to each other and put it behind us, even though I'm annoyed at the busted lip he gave me, lol.

I feel this could have been settled without hitting each other.

ydi !!!! its like throwing a finger into peanut butter.....everyone knows that how you make a peanutbutter finger -_-

I think a better analogy would be throwing butter into peanuts trying to make peanut butter. I honestly have no clue what this "peanut butter finger" thing you're talking about is, but it sounds delicious.

Actually, it's vinegar mixed with milk that makes buttermilk. I know it sounds gross but when I was in cooking class one day that's what I learned

Umm.... I think you may want to ask for your money back for that cooking class...

21: No...you can add two teaspoons of vinegar or lemon juice because the acid will sour it and you can use it in place of buttermilk, but actual buttermilk is what's left over when they separate the milk.

Nope, 21 is right. You can make buttermilk by adding vinegar or lemon juice to milk. I do it all the time with soy milk to make a dairy-free version of buttermilk.

Who uses a substitute for buttermilk?
DocBastard 40
Ok let me settle this once and for all. Buttermilk is what is left over after butter is churned. Cultured buttermilk is fermented milk that is made by adding lactose-fermenting bacteria to milk. Adding vinegar to milk will simulate the acidity and tartness of buttermilk, but it is not buttermilk. Are we clear now?

Thanks for the clarity, Doc. I've been away, but having spent some time working in the milk industry, these comments peaked my interest. Vinegar in milk is a good substitute for buttermilk if you're baking and don't want to buy a whole container for half a cup.

Those of us who avoid dairy, thank you very much.

I would have just let him. He would figure it out once he tasted it and it clearly wasn't right. Sounds nasty!

Mind: blown! Next thing you're gonna tell me is that chocolate milk does not come from brown cows.
Warmonger_Smurf 29
No it dose, and pink cows give strawberry milk.
