Some of the stuff that lasted forever was maize-based; it turned out Rose had been gluten intolerant. But what to do with maize meal? I decided to one night treat it like instant potato mash. It was acceptable, but not something I would buy maize meal for myself. Then I tried to make maize flatbread. I mixed the maize with oil, salt and some spices, and kneaded it. It was very crumbly and (as Google had recommended) I added some wheat flour to make it stick better. I then made it into a flatbread shape and plonked it in the frying pan.
The result, again, was acceptable, but not something I would buy maize meal for myself. But the bag is getting emptier! I say one or two more of these experiments and I've finished it. And then I have a bag of polenta to deal with! I assume it's not particularly different...
I was hoping I would find some way of using that would be really nice! But that might still happen...
