Thanks bd, a bit late in the day for starting now, will have a go tomorrow.
Cornmeal is hard to come by in our local supermarket they are quite slack, but in their defence it is quite a small supermarket, usually end up buying polenta.
There is Springbok Maizemeal - haven't been keen to buy any of that as it is in a rather large bag and I don't know what to do with it if it is not the right stuff, and then there is this problem with it... http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/GE1003/S00036.htm
