from grain to table!

Here is the last stage for our corn! First a photo of Marc and Benjy de-graining the dried corn cobs. Then I'm afraid no photo of it being milled in the village, as I had to leave it there in the morning and go back and collect it in the afternoon. Next, a photo of it made into "pâte", a fairly solid paste which you eat with whatever sauce takes your fancy! In this case a fairly non-traditional mince and tomato sauce with tinned peas!



Benjy may be looking as if he has been forced into child labour, but I promise he volunteered his services!



Of course, it would usually be eaten with fingers, but we were hungry and it was hot!
