and very educational as well. Do you have the poster of the many different types of corn? It is wonderful...I enjoy looking at it and dreaming / wondering about the stories behind each of the intriguing types illustrated. There is so much plant and human history ties up in corn.

I have a close friend originally from a farm in R.I., who maintains a line of flint corn (true white outer and inner layers, not colored) which he grows, harvests, hulls, and then strips and grinds the kernels into corn meal. He and his wife typically use the meal to make R.I. Journey (Johnny) Cakes. A coffee can of corn meal is a typical birthday present from them - it makes wonderful corn bread / corn cakes.

Georgene,
Thanks for the comments on my article. Yes, that is a neat poster. Since I live on a farm, I'm been seeing corn--both sweet and field varieties--all my life. But I never realized how many types there are until I started reading up on corn history.
