Chili and cornbread
 

Chili with skillet cornbread. I didn't have enough yellow cornmeal, so
I added some blue cornmeal and made a great pan of cornbread. Great
meal tonight.

'Blue' cornmeal?? What is that?? I have recently been working with regular
cornmeal and that sounds interesting:)

It's cornmeal made from a different color corn. Probably tastes
substantially identical to the yellow cornmeal we are accustomed to.

Everything Koko posts looks delicious to sf... she'd think shit looks
delicious. That weird corn bread does not look at all appetizing...
and that chili looks like Campbells bean soup with a left over big mac
burger.

That's because every pic koko posts looks delicious and she does a really
pretty presentation, which is probably wasted on you. You remind me of
*chicken and corn* with your constant pecking.

Ophelia, I first became aware of blue corn when I lived in New Mexico.
Here's a little information on it for you. I buy Bob's Red Mill Brand

http://www.bobsredmill.com/blue-cornmeal.html

Blue Cornmeal has a sweet, intense flavor and a hearty, fine texture.
Blue Cornmeal is made from ground Whole Blue Corn. Blue Corn (also
called Hopi Corn) is still cultivated by Native Americans of the
southwest. For them, Blue Corn has significant spiritual importance.
It represents the Eastern rising sun, the beginning of life, wisdom
and understanding. Taos Pueblo elders use Blue Corn in the naming
ceremonies of infants. Ground Posole is used for many products such as
Cornmeal, Corn Starch, Masa Harina and Corn Flour. Cornmeal is dried
corn kernels that have been ground into a fine, medium or course
texture. Cornmeal commonly comes in the yellow or white form. The
specialty Cornmeal comes typically in a blue or red form. Cornmeal is
used primarily to make corn chips, corn bread, tortillas and porridge.
Suggested Use:
Use it as an ingredient in corn bread, tortillas and porridge. It
works also blended with other cornmeals or flours for baking. Blue
corn contains twenty percent more protein than white or yellow corn.

Thanks, so it is mainly used for the colour then? :)) I will be interested
to know why koko uses it specifically:))

You're right about the chicken part, because all that dumb cluck does
is squawk.

The chili looks very tasty to me. She must have taken it outside for
the picture though as a leaf fell on top. ;)

That cornbread though....OMG. That is the most unappetizing thing I've
ever seen. It looks like something you would use several of to make a
walkway from your driveway to the front door. It's cold too - that
slice of butter sitting on top and not melting at all. Cornbread
should be eaten right out of the oven and butter melted in
immediately.

No offense either, Koko. You post some of the most amazing good meals.
You've even beat out Steve's good food pictures. I'm sure your
cornbread was great but it just looks awful in that pic.

She said she used blue cornmeal because she didn't have any yellow.
She also said that blue corn has a more intense corn flavor than
yellow. Taste trumps looks for me. However, as you pointed out -
there's a reason so little blue food is served in restaurants.

Some like it both ways and even like chicken chili (which is blonde
and has white beans).
