Yup, it is indeed a glitch, grain dish is a much better translation, I'll fix it as I find a new home for my website.
I did this translation a long time ago and every so often I come across words that I would now translate differently. With experience comes wisdom.

Now I'm curious. Why is it called a Maize dish? Did the word have an
earlier meaning?
Checking the Italian text, the answer is that it isn't called a maize
dish. So the question is why Helewyse called it that. Was the Italian
word in the original ("Formentra") something that modern dictionaries
gives as a maize dish?
In case she doesn't notice, I'm copying this to her.
