And here in Aus, one of our main flours' Nurse's corn flour, is actually
wheaten corn flour, it is really confusing.
Shirley, hope you stay and share some N.Z recipes with us, I have a few cook
books by Alison Holst and also one written by a French lady who is a
pattissier there in N.Z really excellent cook books, I'd love to hear about
some of your favourite recipes, but we won't mention pavlova as don't know
whether it is a N.Z or an Aus creation, but it doesn't matter, has to be the
best dessert ever!
Very best wishes. Valerie

Here in South Africa, we also just generally refer to grilling in oven, when
specifically using the top oven element, and we'd call it a block of butter,
and, maize meal is called mielie pap (porridge) this side, whereas corn
starch is the more finely ground thickening powdered form - but, we'd
generally just refer to that one as the most commonly known brand name -
maizena...<smile>
Stay well

Here in New Zealand we use the word "grill" to indicate the top element
alone in an oven. I asked an elderly friend about grill vs broil. She has
some old, highly prized American cookbooks from about the 1960s which refer
to "broiling" as you pointed out in your message. Some things are just
different here I suppose. For instance, I'm not familiar with "a stick of
butter". I also think we say cornflour instead of cornstarch. The only other
Kiwi on the list left a while ago. He was good enough to translate recipies
into the New Zealand context. I might look for a more localised list to
avoid a misunderstanding such as the one I've just caused. Mind you, so many
interesting topics have come up in this particular forum that I'd almost be
reluctant to leave. Please mention Emily once in a while; it's interesting
to know her perspective on cooking also. Any recipe you've tried sounds more
exciting if she enjoys it as well.
Shirley.

Shirley:
I don't mean to split hairs here, but I think you meant broil, not
grill. Grills are outdoor things. Oh sure, I know there are electric
things people call a grill, but it's really not. Again, sorry for making a
thing of this, but I believe words mean things and I'm committed to
maintaining the integrity of those words and meanings. Jon

I managed to wreck my favourite oven dish without leaving home. It only
happened yesterday when I was making baked steak for dinner and must have
bumped the switch when placing the dish with lid into my benchtop oven. The
result was an explosion of glass and a burnt offering; I had accidentally
bumped the control switch from bake to grill; therefore most of the heat was
forced onto the lid of dish, burning the contents and I have to say, steak
isn't cheap in this country. I had to resort to Plan B, crumbed fish in a
hurry; luckily I had some in the freezer. In future I'll have to check my
oven settings before and after putting something in, especially when it's
slightly heavy. My favourite dish that one; my mother gave it to me; I
haven't told her yet!

Not really relevant to anything specific, but, was thinking about it again
today - when we moved to new house in October last year, we used reusable
plastic packing cases, etc., and all went well, etc., but, the one thing
that didn't seem to appreciate the move was my favourite/standard oven
ceramic casserole dish, in that, the first time I tried to use it again, in
the new house, it literally cracked/split in half, and my guess would be
that some or other form of stress fracture it absorbed during move caused
this, and, maybe, during move, it would have been best to either make sure
there were no other, hard items packed with something like this, or else to
just have packed it in a form of padding/packaging, etc., but anyway?
Stay well
