Let's not get off track into products of other countries. This isn't
Europe where going to another country is like us going to another
state.

I don't have a problem buying corn that has been ground into flour and
it's not masa harina, which has been processed with lime before
grinding. I've even posted in the past about how "corny" the corn
flour tastes, much more so than masa harina (IMO). My comment was
that I'd only seen it in the last couple of years and so far no one,
not even Southerners, have said otherwise.
