When last did you have "mieiliebrood"?

In the nineties no braai was complete without a loaf of mieliebrood, but over time we became too sophisticated to make and enjoy this type of comfort food. Shame on us! Nigella might not include this recipe in one of her best sellers and it may be mere coincidence that my cousin who gave me the recipe emigrated to Canada  shortly thereafter. 

HOWEVER...

After our picnic last Sunday we at Rosemary Manor felt that it woukd be a crime against the braai tradition not to share this family recipe.
