I had bought some buttermilk for another recipe, when I remembered how my grandmothers' would drink buttermilk.  That was dangerous.  I remember seeing a few people drink buttermilk on purpose.  I got the urge to try it myself.  Apparently, drinking buttermilk is supposed to help your stomach.  I would assume that would be only if you could swallow it.  The smell got me first.  It smelled like biscuit dough to me.  That was all I could think of as I took a drink.  I think I could possibly get by the smell and the taste.  I could not, however, get past the feel.  It was quite thick and just lingered far too long.  I will not be complaining that buttermilk is not on the menus at restaurants.  My husband, who is a mighty good sport, said that it tasted like cream cheese.  I do not think he is well.  Possibly the years of Buffalo hot wings have taken a toll on his taste buds.  I have been told that buttermilk is good for your stomach.  If so, I hope it works through biscuits; otherwise, I'm out.
