There are 2 ways to get rid of unwanted corns, and one of them should only be used in the absolute emergencies listed below, okay?
1) Let them slowly go away. Sure, it takes about 5 months, and it's embarrassing to have them, but it's worth it. I speak from personal experience. How to tell if they are going to go away in the next 2 weeks or so is they scab over, and when they finally come out, they just pop out and skin grows back from where it was.
2) If they are really hurting and you've had them for like, over 2 years (second option not very likely), then it's time to have them surgically removed cause they can really cause problems later in life. So it will cost a lot of money, and you'll have to talk to your doctor about this.
What can you make with polenta?
I'm going to answer a few questions with the same answer: www.allrecipes.com I'm not affiliated, and it's not spam. It's about the largest database of recipes mostly posted by real people. It is about the best answer for many of the questions here in food - there's like 30,000 recipes or more, and they are real food from real people. More specifically, polenta is made into what amounts to corn mush, just follow the directions and don't burn it. It's good like that. I mix a sauteed mix of wild mushrooms into it after it's made - similar to a tamale pie, I guess, but mushrooms. Traditionally, Italians either mix a rabbit or chicken stew into it, or put some on a plate and then spoon the stew over it. It's not the same as pasta, but most "red" things you would put on pasta will go over polenta well, too. I say red because I don't think a clam sauce would be any good. But any marinara or the like will go real well. You can also make patties out of the plain polenta the next day and fry them - yum!
How many ears of corn makes one pound of cornmeal?
Depends on the size of the ear, and the variety. If you are growing Bantam corn ( a pure seed, NOT genetically modified ) about 1 1/2 ears will produce a pint. If you are using other varieties, like peaches and cream, or Golden Nugget you will get about a pint from each ear.
Like I said, it depends on the size of the ear, and how well your corn grew that year.
Is a cooper someone who grinds corn into cornmeal?
No. A cooper is a person who builds barrels, typically the old wooden kind with metal rings around them.
Is maize flour the same as cornmeal?
Maize is the original corn the Indians grew. The corn had many colors in the cob and was a very dry.
As hybrids of maize were done it was found the yellow and white kernals had more moisture. That is what popcorn is made out of and why bread would be drier if you used a maize meal rather than the normal corn meal which is made of yellow corn.
Maybe add more liquid to your bread when using the maize meal.

Organic cornmeal is cornmeal that is produced without GMOS, artificial preservatives and pesticides.
Northern British name for an inedible paste made from flour and water, used to seal a casserole dish or similar pot whilst baking. Place 8oz (225g) plain flour in a bowl and add 5 fl oz (150 ml) of cold water - it should be enough to make a soft but not sticky dough. Divide the dough into 4 and roll each piece into a cylinder about 9 inches (23 cm) long on a lightly floured surface. Now position these all around the rim of the casserole dish you want to seal - it doesn't matter what they look like. Place the casserole lid carefully on top, pressing down gently and making sure there are no gaps. You dish is now sealed and ready for the oven.

What do you eat cornmeal mush with?
As a kid it was a regular breakfast. Cook the mush and put it in a loaf pan to set and cool. Slice it about 1/2 thick and lightly brown in a skillet and put syrup on it.
another response:
Cornmeal mush may also be eaten soft, much like Polenta. When cooked, serve warm with butter. It is good alongside eggs or with meat and gravy.

It depends on the recipe. Some people do not because it may mess with the crust, but if you put a little bit on the bottom it should work out well.

Where was corn meal first made?
Meso America. these peoples developed corn from a spindly grass called teosinte.
Corn contains a fair amount of niacin, a protein in corn binds niacin, making it unavailable for absorption in the intestine. Soaking the corn in an alkaline solution releases the niacin, making it available for absorption.
This is the reason why Meso american populations never were affected by pellagra, since they traditionally soak corn in lime water before making tortillas. But when Spanish explorers brought corn back to Europe from the New World, they weren't aware of the importance of the soaking step. This is what led to widespread niacin deficiency in Europe.
