We lived in the Middle East for more than 5 years. The company we worked
for ordered corn meal in their commissary for the 'Muricans. Most
Europeans, including the Denizens of Oz (Orstrailians) didn't know what
corn meal was, they had only seen corn flour, aka corn starch, and used
it for a thickener, just like we do. Most that ate at our house didn't
care for cornbread but would eat roasting ears on occasion. Oh yeah,
should have mentioned that there were over 100 nationalities in our
international community on the West Coast of Saudi Arabia, lots of
stranger eating habits than ours. <VBG>
