The Buttermilk Truck

With the help of the 'truxmap' App on the iPod Touch, we were able to find the Buttermilk truck on Venice Boulevard. I was so excited by the look of this creamy welcoming friendly truck, and curious as to what heart clogging options were offered. 

Did you know? Buttermilk is actually low in fat, containing around 5g, just like 2% milk. In the process of churning butter, buttermilk is the leftover liquid. You can see that visually for yourself if you over whip 35% cream. You will extract a big solid clump and a thin liquid as a result. 

Why did I think this truck would be heart clogging then? Because buttermilk is a magical ingredient in southern cooking, for baked goods like biscuits, and battering items for the deep fryer. It contributes some dairy fat, and a nice tang from its fermented nature.

We arrived at night, so that was our selection.

Fried Chicken with Cinnamon Waffles. 

I cannot even explain to you how scrumptious this was! 

For some reason, the combination of the savoury chicken, with the cinnamon waffle, and the maple syrup...a foodsplotion in your mouth! Absolutely amazing. 

This is too heart clogging for a full meal, but definitely fun to share as a snack!
