hey Crabgrass you are so right. Learn to cook the basic stuff now, before you have to use it under advserse conditions. (Heck, you may hate the stuff, then what??) There is more to corn than cornbread, tho that is the first thing most folks try, as did I. But think about it...how 'bout cornmeal mush, then fried mush, polenta, parched, hominy, hoecakes, cornmeal pancakes, indian pudding (yummy), tortillas, taco shells, cornmeal gravy, cornmeal soup, cornmeal cookies, cornmeal pasta, or cornmeal dumplings (great with chili beans, with or without meat). Most of my recipes for these take no or very little flour, and taste just fine. Beans?? Don't get me started...of course the most interesting recipe I just found for beans was a clam chowder using lima beans instead of spuds. I'm trying in on Friday, it looks fascinating. Hope this gives somebody ideas on how useful corn can be, and they try it.
