You *can* like both. I'm just pointing out that they're very different
flavors, so that if you know how you feel about hominy, you can possibly
avoid disappointment.

I'm sure I know what masa harina is. I'm guessing that Pandora's "cornflour"
was finely-ground cornmeal rather than finely-ground hominy, because there's
a lot more of the cornmeal stuff around than the hominy stuff. Also, when
someone posted a picture of Bob's Red Mill (yellow) cornflour in a
discussion elsewhere about Pandora's breadsticks, Pandora agreed that it was
like the product she'd used.
