[Sca-cooks] soda bread with corn meal

[Elaine Koogler]

One thing that might sort this out a bit.  Once, a while back, when I 
was working on a recipe from Platina, it referred to "corn flour"...the 
translation wasn't great, but there the reference was.  I was told by 
someone on this list that Europeans often refer to all grains as 
"corn".  I wonder if that could be the inference here.
