Default Are we (USA) the only ones who eat corn on the cob?

Corrupting influence? That would be wheat. Wheat is a conspiracy by
the sothron monotheists to weaken the manly Vikings. Good Vikings eat
real bread made from barley or oats maybe even rye and drink strong ale
made from barley not that wimpy stuff diluted with wheat. And mead
where the manly brewer had to wrestle with a black bear to get to the
honey not wine where the fruity brewer had to hide in the vines when
the Viking hordes passed by chanting. Of course never mention the
traditional canned Viking breakfast food. If you do entire crowds of
Vikings will end up chanting and then there will be trouble ...
