I just want to clear up something which might add a bit of extra confusion
to this discussion (as though it needs it!). I have now twice been quoted
as saying:
> > > > There isn't a product known as "cornflour." There is Flour
> > > > wheat -unless labeled differently in bold writing) and there is
*Corn
> > > > meal*. Which is ground maize. and Corn starch which is a corn
product.
This statement came from the American side of the thread. It was included
in my post as a statement to which I was responding. In Australia we have
"cornflour" which can be either maize or wheat. We do not call it
"cornstarch" here at all.
> There is also self rising cornmeal that contains wheat flour and baking
> powder/soda comes in both yellow and white.
As I understand it, "cornmeal" is a different product again. It is used to
make (and is also called, here in Australia, at least) "polenta". Does this
mirror the American experience?
