Blue cornbread.
This year I grew a couple of varieties of corn for flour. The Six Nations Blue was probably the coolest one of all, though I have yet to harvest and try the Mesquakie Indian. This blue corn was great right from planting to eating! It grew very well, produced better than any of the other corns I have planted, looked very cool on the cob as it was drying and even cooler in the jar after I shelled the cobs and best of all it tasted AWESOME! I have never eaten cornbread made from fresh ground, homegrown corn. There is just nothing like it. The only drawback to it that I have considered so far is that it pretty much looks like a big pile of mold on the plate!!! Looks are deceiving though - it tasted wonderful!
