I remember a dense, raised bread that one bought in a European-style
bakery in the Northeast. It was called cornbread, but I don't believe
it had any cornmeal at all. It was more like a good rye bread. In my
mind, I may be confusing it with a marbled bread that was part rye and
part pumpernickle, but I could be wrong. Sheldon might remember it.

Don't forget that in Europe "corn" meant flour way before the Americans
renamed maize 'corn'.
