Corn meal was a staple in the homes of the families of the plains. It was even a staple of food during the Lewis and Clark Expedition.
Corn meal during the 1800's was cooked in cast iron cookware.
We are experimenting with cornmeal recipes and will shae them as we find and use them. All food recipes we are currently trying out are cooked in cast iron unless otherwise stated.
