No she is not. When we wre about 14, I ntoiced how my twin sister was
eating corn on the cob getting the little things inside each kernal.
Usually, I see everything she does as things losers do since she
imitaites losers usally - not joking - but I got so intrigued that I
tried doing it the next time I ate it to undertsand where the fun was .
Of course, I only sensed pain and so ...,

Default How do you eat corn?

Oops..I meant to responds to the statement

"My sister in law eats it on kernel at a time. Seriously. Takes her,
like, 2 hours to eat a single ear. It's devastatingly frustrating to
watch ;-) "


I knew there must be something they (my twin and who ever she learned
from) are getting soemthing out of eating like this but I just couldn't
figured out what.

for Presbyterian.

We can trace the McQuown family back to the Battle of Bothwell Bridge in
1679. My maternal grandparents (George Brown and Hannah Smith Brown) didn't
arrive here until the early 1900's. They were married in Glasgow around
1917. She was listed as a "spinster". Heh. After they moved to the U.S.
my grandfather finished the attic in the house in Ohio and moved Great
grandpa Douglas in... he lived upstairs and drank Scotch and ****ed out the
window.

God you're stupid. It's dried hybrid decorative corn, ya imbicile.
And it doesn't look "sick" at all - very little evidence of fungi from
what I can tell in the photo.

http://education.yahoo.com/homework_...ravels/18.html


After Gulliver's visit to the Emperor's palace at Mildendo,
Reldresal, Lilliput's Principal Secretary of Private Affairs, pays a
visit to Gulliver and explains the faction quarrels between the High
Heel Party and the Low Heel Party. The conflict, he says, started over
a religious question: At which end should the faithful break their
eggs: at the big end or at the little end? The Blefuscudians break
theirs, in the original style, at the big end. But, by royal edict, the
Lilliputians must break their eggs at the little end. There are rebels
in Lilliput, Reldresal says, and already 11,000 of them-Big
Endians-have been put to death; others have fled to the court of
Blefuscu. He explains further that the Lilliputians have lost 40 ships
in the war. The dilemma seems hopeless, for Lustrog, the prophet of
their religion, has said, "All true believers shall break their eggs
at the convenient end."

One has to ask..... yes, *why* would you assume that any non-US person
would know about your weird foods/customs?

Do you think the whole world revolves around the US??

Exactly. What would I ****ing know?

It's a product that is native to your country, asshole..... if you took
the time and the opportunity to explain things to people that are *non*
US, things might be different.
But you're one of these assholes that thinks that the world begins and
ends with the US, aren't you?

Here in Australia we have a phrase for people like you.


You're an intolerant arsehole.

I beg to differ. I lived in the US for 12 months. I visited lots of
supermarkets and delis.

I threw dinner parties and BBQs. And *every* frikken Yank that ever came
to them was ****ing amazed and stunned that *I* sourced the food
specifically, I prepared the food, and I cooked the food. Rather than
just get something out of a can, a packet, or a freezer.

Yes, there are probably people in the US that aren't like that (and some
may even inhabit rec.food), but you rely too much on crap products, and
crap food. Look at some of the ingredents to some of your so called
'recipes', for Gods sake!! "Cool whip" et al.


Look at your bread.

I brought something that I thought was healthy because it looked like
wholemeal bread.

Turns out, I could have used it in a bread and butter pudding it was
sooooooooooo frikken sweet.

How sad that you have come to accept all the crap that you are given to
eat.

Oooooooooooooooo!!! That's rich coming from a US 'citizen'..........

categorizing *all* Aussies as decendants of felons would have to be on a
par with categorizing all Americans as represented by what is shown on

Yeah, but you're not talking to the average Yank right now. The
people who read and post to this group are generally people who
treasure good food. See the current thread about the Chile's chain
restaurant. The people here abhor it. The general public loves it.
Same with Outback Steakhouse. I went there once. Never again.

>And 'behave'????? Me????


Good point. But you can be naughty without being nasty. I like the
naughty Peter. Having serious doubts about the nasty one, though. Can
you just get naughty again? Please? For ME?

Most welcome!
Would you like me to send you some?
Right now would be the time as it's in season, easy to find as it's
being used for fall/harvest/Thanksgiving decorating.

It grows just fine from the "decorator" ears you can get from the
grocery store. The meal does have a distinctive sweet flavor for making
chips, cornbread, etc. I get the blue corn meal from the health food
store sometimes to use for coating fish before frying. It's also
supposed to be more nutritious.

Cheers! :-)
E-mail me privately if you want to try growing any...
I can steam open a regular corn seed packet and pack some in there.

fwiw, yes, there are a LOT of lazy Americans or youngsters that have not
been taught to cook properly.

I rarely use tinned or packeted items, and I think the vast majority of
folks on this list don't either. It is a cooking list after all!

Really? It's one of the few chains I really like! Maybe it's regional...
but I am choosy about what I get.

I prefer the rack of lamb, served rare. It's really _very_ good!

I can't stand Chili's, or Red Lobster.
I think the #1 worst I've been to (other than the burger joints) is
Joe's Crab Shack. <ick!>

Our salads were so heavily laden with raw garlic that we literally
couldn't eat them. Up until that point, I believed that there was no
such thing as too much garlic. They proved me wrong. The steaks were
so heavily salted that they were inedible, too. Horrible, horrible
meals.

Same here in Oz :-/

I've been approached to conduct cooking classes......... for single
*women* and men over the age of 50!!

FFS!!!! If you haven't learnt to cook something by the time you're
50...... you're name is quite obviously Paris Hilton!!



I've been teaching kids to cook for so long I can't remember.

The one basic principle I tell them is *It's not rocket science*!!!!

Not at all.

Like every society, whether it be of convict origin, or puritanical
fundamentalist origin....... you'll always find that we Aussies are
willing to listen :-)

*Then* we'll come and bail your arse out of whatever shitfight you've
got yourself into :-)

Nobody has told you because you didn't ask.

Do you actually think someone would put fresh corn on their front porch? Do
you think the *dried* husks in the picture are fresh? Oh wait, you don't
think.

Thanks for the link..And it's a bloody good link too!!

Too much TV???? No.

I lived in CA for 12 months in the early 90's.


One thing I realised then, and is still apparent now, is that you have
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too *many* choices to make. Look at milk FFS!!!!


Stop the bullshit, get back to the basics. Spread the word.

Have you complained to the managers?

That's a shame.

If you could get 'em here fresh. <G>

Not preserved, just dried. That's all it takes with that stuff. It does
not wrinkle up on drying like sweet corn does.

You know, as far as I know, Indian corn is the _original_ corn and all
other types are hybrids of it? IIRC?

I'm serious. I've gotten stuff thru to England and Australia before when
I was doing ebay. Even managed to get a pair of drained cleaned emu eggs
to a gal in Australia by making reversable Christmas Ornaments out of
them!

You just have to know the laws and how to get around them.

See above. Another way is to weave some ears of it into a decorative
wreath. It then becomes a holiday decoration and is no longer "food".

So do it! I did not really get interested in cooking until I was in my
early 30's and have only really gotten serious once I turned 40.

True, but you do have to have an instinct or experience for what
flavors do and do not go together. You also have to be willing to learn
and _experiment_!

That doesn't count. <G> And note I said "rarely", not "never".

I don't use Velveeta often, but it is the most efficient for making
queso dips as it melts smoother than, say, cheddar or jack. Regular
cheese tends to separate and curdle when melted to make dips.

For most dips I stick with sour cream and cream cheese.

'sides, what's the difference between opening up a block of regular
cheese or Velveeta cheese to cook with? You still have to do something
with it?

The lamb served by them is not greasy...
If it's greasy, you are either eating them too old or not trimming and
cooking them properly.

We are talking _lamb_ here, not mutton!

Overcooked, dried out crab. Heavily breaded and salted deep fried greasy
shrimp.

Every reasonably priced item on Joe's Crab Shack Menu is heavily breaded
and deep fried. While I have nothing against deep frying, there are
right and wrong ways to do it!

I can cook fresh crab at home for less than half the price.

> Lobster!!!!


Over cooked, oversalted and overpriced. I'd rather buy my own live
lobster and cook it at home.

> Chilli!!!!


You misspelled it.

Greasy and bland. I prefer to make Chili at home and chili is not all
that is on the menu.

Tsk! We are talking chain restaurants with bad, overpriced, bland,
overcooked, greasy, oversalted foods that appeal to the masses that like
crap fast food. ;-)

Try them before you defend them luv!

For our local council, she's registered as a Ridgeback/Bull Mastiff X.


In reality............ she's a Ridgeback/Pit Bull X


She's 6&1/2yo, both her parents are still active pig dogs....... but the
closet she has come to pig is the leftover BBQ'd bacon in the mornings!!

Nobody assumed anybody knew. If you really wanted to know what it was you
can ask without being an ass and insulting people. You're waaaaaaaaaay more
likely to get an answer that way.

Yeah, asswipe. IN the picture, attached to the top of the ears of corn.
