high fructose corn syrup

@georgia I used to eat molasses straight from the jar as a kid

@georgia I should start doing that again when I want a little treat

@georgia what we call corn today is really maize corn, and in ancient texts like this, the word usually refers to grain in general

@genmaicha oh hmmm I didnt know that. I guess it means carbs?

@genmaicha @georgia you think you’re the corn expert??

@iwillbite @georgia far from it

@genmaicha @georgia I AM THE CORN EXPERT

@iwillbite @genmaicha I enjoy corn tbh

@patchuun @georgia im not a huge fan of molasses by itself but i LOVE brown sugar

@georgia @genmaicha corn is soooo valid. How do you eat your corn?

@iwillbite @genmaicha my favorite ways are soup and elotes

@georgia not quite, the PIE root means "grain", while carbs also include starchy root vegetables like potatoes

@georgia @genmaicha elotes are sooo good 😊

I like when salads have corn in them too

@georgia molasses, honey, corn, ...

i want to try this meat wine

if likely only once

@genmaicha @georgia this got me wondering proper what alcoholic beverages are made from maize, but with the OP mentioning HFCS i ended up here https://beerconnoisseur.com/articles/truth-brewing-beer-corn-syrup/

(and then eventually later here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corn_whiskey and here https://www.acozykitchen.com/peruvian-chicha-morada)

@ophis @genmaicha your journey seems to be one of definite progress
