How many people did this get through so that Chris Tarrant actually said, in all seriousness, that bread was made from corn? I kept skipping back, in case I got it wrong, but that is what he actually said! Yes, cornbread exists, but it's quite different from wheat bread, which 99% of bread is made from. I'm frankly taken aback by the sheer stupidity of this.
I had to go back and replay that, as the first time I didn't notice because I was too distracted wondering what kind of maniac butters the end of the loaf and then cuts the slice off afterwards...
Like was mentioned, "corn" is used to refer to any form of cereal crop rather than maize specifically. Yes, more specificity could have been useful but then there was the buttering of a loaf to contend with just before that.
I have never heard corn being used as a generic term for a cereal crop before, I guess this was common in years gone by and has since fallen out of use. And likewise, buttering the loaf first may have been more common years ago as well, but looks daft now.
@@MatthewBrannigan That’s pretty much the thing of it, languages move along like that. Not sure where buttering a loaf before cutting it comes from, not even that sure it was ever a normal thing.
Two 'schools' programmes themes that are vivid in my mind are this one and that of 'Seeing and Doing' with the rotating blocks 😊😊😊
Crisp ATV ident but looks like a filmed endcap. We used to have Sunblest and Mother's Pride bread. Happy memories
NOW THE MACHINE WILL MIX EVERYTHING TOGETHER TO MAK D'OH!!
It depends where you were brought up.
In many countries corn means grain which would include wheat.
