Sorry about making this a new topic, but apparently I don't have enough posts to PM anyone that has mentioned using it.

Where can I buy cornmeal?? I live in Seoul so I assume it's somewhere...

I think the Red Door in Itaewon might have some, but I haven't been in many months so I don't know what she has right now. I brought several 1 pound bags with me in my luggage, but used it already frying zucchini and mushrooms. (quite yummy, but lacking the bass and catfish) I couldn't bring all the spices and things I wanted since the luggage allowance is too small for that and it's heavy so I had to leave my cache behind. Korea really is one of the few places in the world where you can't get the many things that are quite common or findable elsewhere. I would like my 3% peroxide solution for cleaning ears... I'd like some more oats and real ibuprofen tablets.

Makin' hushpuppies are we? Caught a mudcat just this last weekend. Pan fried, cornbread, sweet potato pie. Damn, but I'll miss this state.

I miss cornbread, severely. And we're having a Thanksgiving dinner and want to make cornbread dressing. Where in Itaewon is the Red Door?

I just came back from the Foreign Food Mart in Itaewon and got a 500 gram bag of cornmeal for 2,500 won. The packaging is all in Korean though. They have some good stuff there.

corn meal is actually quite common - it's translated as "corn powder" here -

Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix is pretty common - I bake corn bread in my little toaster oven - turns out fine -

would like to find some sage for my Thanksgiving dressing tho - anyone know where ?

I don't know how you dudes and dudettes can eat cornbread!That stuff be nasty!
I tried it once and vomited throughout the evening.Corn bread with sherry to wash it down.Maybe the sherry did me in.
Is cornbread supposed to be a bit sweet in taste?

It's a matter of taste I guess. Corn bread is usually not that sweet because it's eaten on the side along with one's dinner. Corn muffins on the other hand are sweet because they are dessert. I like to use the cornmeal as polenta or hot breakfast cereal with milk and sugar. There are other uses for cornmeal besides cornbread.

I eat a lot of cornbread, but I know what you mean about stuff making you sick like that. One time I ate an orange and got projectile diarrhea. It could have been bad mayonnaise in the potato salad I ate beforehand, but I still hate oranges!!

Yes, I've found corn powder at Homeplus before, but it's not the course corn meal Americans prefer, but it's intended for baking some sort of small cake with a whole egg in the middle.
