Where Can I Get Cornmeal?

Does anyone know where I can get my hands on some cornmeal in the North Dublin area? I've tried a couple of supermarkets but can't find it anywhere.

Green grocers, seedy section of a supermarket, health food shop.

They might call it Polenta or Maize.

If all Moonbabys suggestions fail for you (as they have for me in the past few weeks -I've been searching high and low for it), Marks & Sparks now stock polenta...

And if you get some, what can you do to make it palatable? Every time I have tried it, the dominant impression I have had was of stodge.

It all depends on what you do with it, I don't make it into polenta but rather sprinkle it onto the oiled crust of a pizza to give colour and texture.

I was planning on making this if I could get some Cornmeal.

nc6000 you need maize, I make cornbread for my husband who is american and encountered this problem at the beginning too. Cornmeal is just called maize here. You can get it ground finely, medium or coarsely. Personally I use the medium ground for my cornbread and I think it turns out pretty good. I get it in my local health food shop but my supermarket has recently started doing in the organic food section.

Good luck
