  • I guess “if you say vaguely bigoted shit people will call you fash so you may as well go full Nazi” and “if you say vaguely left shit people will call you a tankie so you may as well go communist” are technically the same form of argument but there does seem to be some kind of difference, wonder if I can put my finger on exactly what…






  • May be a difference in terminology here but generally “cornflour” is a synonym for “cornstarch”. Like I am looking at the box in my pantry to make sure I didn’t imagine anything and it’s definitely cornstarch. Masa, here, would be closer to the product we call “cornmeal” (although I believe masa is made from nixtamalised corn/hominy but cornmeal isn’t? I dunno, never cooked with either). Yes, whole ground maize can be any colour, but cornstarch afaik is always extremely white.
