"Corn starch, maize starch, or *cornflour (British English)* is the starch derived from corn (maize) grain."
from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornstarch

So yes, I think we are talking about cornflour as in corn starch here. Like Kartoffelmehl ("potato flour") means potato starch in Germany (most of the time).

I never use plain cornmeal for cooking. Masa harina (from nixtamalized corn) is awesome though.

(maybe we should continue in FSX_FOOD)
