Footnote to grist mills: The total grain was used in creating the flour, corn meal, etc. which yielded a coarser finished product with which to bake. Unless you have used and/or tasted finished baked goods used from flour or cornmeal right from the grist mill then you have missed a real treat! These baked goods are far superior to what one can purchase in a store. We use to purchase cornmeal direct from a grist mill in the Smoky Mountains of NC, enroute to Cherokee Indian Reservation.....you are invited to watch them grind if you are there the day they are grinding. Of course that is another treat!
