# Corn tortillas and corn chips would be [[shehakol]] since both are processed to the point where they loose their ideal brocha. <Ref>Veten Bracha (Halachos of Brochos by Rabbi Bodner pg 410, chapter 22) writes that corn tortillas and corn chips would be [[shehakol]] since both are processed to the point where they loose their ideal brocha. Rav Yisrael Belsky in Shulchan HaLevi (3:13 p. 37) rules that corn chips or corn tortillas are [[Shehakol]] in America or any country in which the majority of the corn isn't planted in order to be eaten as corn chips or tortillas. He explains that corn chips are made from cornmeal (corn flour) and so the bracha is [[Shehakol]]. </ref> | # Corn tortillas and corn chips would be [[shehakol]] since both are processed to the point where they loose their ideal brocha. <Ref>Veten Bracha (Halachos of Brochos by Rabbi Bodner pg 410, chapter 22) writes that corn tortillas and corn chips would be [[shehakol]] since both are processed to the point where they loose their ideal brocha.

# Corn bread is mezonot since it has wheat flour in it.<ref>Halachos of Brachos Handbook (p. 31) writes that corn bread which are really primarily made from wheat flour are hamotzei like regular bread. Laws of Brachos (Rabbi Forst, pg 386, n. 2) agrees that if it is fit to be eaten as bread, the bracha is hamotzei. However, he concludes that if the corn bread is more like cake than bread because of its distinct corn (and sweet cakey) taste, the bracha is mezonot, unless one is Koveh Seudah on it.</ref> | # Corn bread is mezonot since it has wheat flour in it.<ref>Halachos of Brachos Handbook (p. 31) writes that corn bread which are really primarily made from wheat flour are hamotzei like regular bread.
