My husband loves corn bread with his chili. I prefer oyster crackers ... those mini saltine type crackers. I also usually top off our chili with diced onion and some shredded cheese. Sounds yummy!

I don't know how much farther south you can get then southeast Texas but most of the time here, like if you get it at a restaurant it isn't sweet cornbread. Growing up, and even now, I don't know anyone who makes sweet cornbread besides myself. I never even had sweet cornbread until I was an adult and made it at home once and now that's how i prefer it. But....if I have company there is no way I'd put sugar in it, they would kill me!! LOL
Christie, since I am not a cornbread fan, maybe that was just the way I had it once and am misremembering(not surprising). But like I said, I have it in my head that cornbread is sweetish tasting.

Cornbread here in western NC isn't suppose to be sweet either. We refer it to Yankee Cornbread if it has sugar in it (sorry not trying to offend anyone). Sometimes restuarants here will make something called cornpones and add a little sugar and then roll it in powder sugar while it oily as they are deep-fried like hushpuppies.
We also add many other things...corn, jalepenos, cheese etc..call it Mexican Cornbread.

haha..I used to have a boyfriend from Biloxi(sp?) mississippi and when he tried moms corn bread he was horrified it was not sweet. he said if it wasn't sweet it wasn't corn bread..so I just assumed that southern cornbread is a sweet type.. see now I have learned something new..he was an idiot in more ways than one..lol no wonder i sent his butt back south
And I had to ask my mom about it since she does eat it and she said of all the times she has had it, it's slightly sweet too. Apparently cornbread can be very random!
