When we wre about 14, I ntoiced how my twin sister was eating corn on the cob getting the little things inside each kernal.

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. |

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. -L. |

Pete C. wrote: > Nancy Young wrote: > > > > Across? Around? > > Around each end for clearance and then across row by row. Anal eh? > 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." |

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. > >>> On an unrelated note, I heard Tyler say something funny this >>> morning on his Ultimate show.

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 for you. > How sad that you have come to accept all the crap that you are given to eat. -- Peter Lucas Brisbane Australia 'Enjoy today, it was paid for by a veteran' |

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. > -- > Peter Lucas > Brisbane 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! But I'm familiar with my co-workers and out of 40 people, there are only a handful that cook _real_ food and don't use convenience foods. <sigh> Not fair tho' to paint us all with the same brush please? <G> -- Peace, Om Remove _ to validate e-mails.

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. Ms P |

Your perception of what food choices are available in the > USA to the masses is incorrect. Too much TV. 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!!!!

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? > > Cheers! :-) > > E-mail me privately if you want to try growing any... > > > Growing stuff....... probably have the time now seeing as I just > resigned from one of my 'jobs' :-) 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. > > > > I can steam open a regular corn seed packet and pack some in there. > > > LOL!!! > > I'm sure Customs and Quarantine would like to talk to you ;-) 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". > > > > fwiw, yes, there are a LOT of lazy Americans or youngsters that have > > not been taught to cook properly. > > Same here in Oz :-/ > > I've been approached to conduct cooking classes......... for single > *women* and men over the age of 50!! > > FFS!!!!

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. > 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*!!!! > True, but you do have to have an instinct or experience for what flavors do and do not go together.

It is a cooking list after all! > > > Hmmmmmmmm. I've seen a few recipes that require 'Velvetta'(????) 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? > > > > But I'm familiar with my co-workers and out of 40 people, there are > > only a handful that cook _real_ food and don't use convenience foods. > > <sigh> > > > > Not fair tho' to paint us all with the same brush please? <G> > > > 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 :-) As will Americans....

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.

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. > > > Go stand in the corner and give yourself 50 flicks under the left > nostril with a wet Hoikken noodle!! > > > -- > Peter Lucas 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! -- Peace, Om Remove _ to validate e-mails.

Nobody assumed anybody knew. If you really wanted to know what it was you can ask without being an ass and insulting people.
