Bruce New Tvl 77Until recently, mealie meal, of which porridge is made, was the only variety of food-stuff made from this plant, but within the last couple of years the making of fanko at the factory of Messrs. Fleming in Johannesburg, has firmly established one more Transvaal industry. Fanko is in reality the grounding [sic] of the mealie seed into a delicate flake which can be used with eggs and milk to make the most delicious puddings and biscuits.
