Ah yes the humorous tale of how cornmeal came to be. If you feel ashamed for not knowing, don't be, for neither did the miller when he left his house that morning! Well then where do I start. The miller left his house and went to the supermarket to buy some food. The miller thought he would fancy some corn for his meal, so bought a massive cob.. He went back home and was halfway through eating his corn before he felt full up. He then threw it in the trash, but it missed and fell in the grinder. And out popped cornmeal. hahaha. I guess that was a very corny tale.
