Anyone who uses woke in a derogatory manner is just admitting they are asleep at the wheel of life.
Pffft, look at this woke ass comment!
What a dumbass.
That’s my name, don’t wear it out… It’s not waterproof.
The official response was not popular.
I submitted a constructive response that hopefully addresses the OP’s concerns. (Still no buttermilk though, which might continue to be a dealbreaker)
Here’s the original recipe, if all this frosting talk is giving you the munchies
“Don’t drink and bake”
Nice. I still don’t understand why buttermilk would be woke in the first place, or what OOP was going for.
The OOP is complaining that Hershey’s chocolate buttercream frosting recipe calls for regular milk rather than buttermilk (which would probably be pretty nasty, btw). Even more inexplicably, they complain that this makes the recipe “woke.”
I still fail to understand how a chocolatey butter cream could benefit from buttermilk, or if any such original recipe exists. But yeah, all the responses I got point to buttermilk being something you can’t get everywhere, something that jibes with raw milk, something “trad”.
Best I’ve got is they assumed that they were more concerned with the recipe being healthy than tasting good?
Best I can guess they’re upset at the lack of buttermilk because it’s an ingredient associated with southern cooking that might be harder to find nationwide??? So changing out buttermilk for regular means it’s easier for people to make (accessible) and therefore woke? I’m sure I’m giving them too much credit here.
Thanks for the explanation. Where I used to live buttermilk was a pretty normal product in each shop’s dairy section, even flavored like yoghurt.
