this was a 4 star the next day. the first day maybe only a 3 so it definatly improves with age. i had to make my own self rising cornmeal and it called for 1/2 tsp of salt, i put less but it was still soooo salty we couldnt eat it so i tried it again with just a tiny tiny bit of salt (the creamed corn has salt too) and it turned out better. it's not very good hot, ok cool and better the next day. good with honey, not a strong flavor on its own and a little bit of a foamy slimy texture.. interesting though. if i made it again i would maybe add some vanilla or something. anyway thanks.
