Cornmeal is a coarse meal ground from dried Corn. It is a thickening ingredient that has to be used in a recipe before it can be eaten. A full bag weighs 2.0 and keeps without spoiling.
Its main use is thickening soup and stew. Cornmeal is a very rare find in home kitchens. Most of it is made by grinding 20 dried ears of Corn at a Stone Quern or a Stone Mill. The Chef is the best occupation for cooked and prepared. It starts with the most Cooking skill. The Burger Flipper also starts with some Cooking skill.
Cooking
Cornmeal must go into a recipe to be eaten. In an evolved dish it thickens Soup and Stew, adding 6 hunger. It counts as a spice there, so it does not take up an ingredient slot.
The Grind Cornmeal recipe turns 20 dried Corn into one bag at a Stone Quern. The Mill Cornmeal recipe does the same at a Stone Mill. That lets a farm with a corn field make its own supply.
The same 20 dried Corn can make Cornflour instead. Cornflour also works as a flour for baking, which makes it the more flexible choice of the two.
These dishes take the Cornmeal as an ingredient, with the hunger it restores in each.
| Dish | Hunger Restored | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Soup | 6 | - |
| Stew | 6 | - |
