In my world "insane" and "crazy" are two entirely separate things.

There's not a poster on this board (self included) who doesn't exhibit some form and degree of crazy. It is really just a matter of degree.

You can take crazy to a fairly extreme degree and not bother me in the least, as long as it's honest crazy.

Sorry.

Both are better than what the Japanese call it..."foreign sorghum." トウモロコシ

Yep, "foreign sorghum" beats "Indian corn" hands down.

Choko, you make it too easy!

[Salty]

Sorghum and corn - are not the same... Sorghum makes molasses, while corn makes bourbon.

I prefer "maize" but since "corn" is obviously the more popular term in NA, and the grain is from the Americas, I'm fine with that as well. (though I totally respect the confusion it causes in Europe...though, I don't know that I'd want to eat euro-tortillas or euro-cornbread)

Let me go a step further and note then the "morokoshi" part of the Japanese word for it basically meant "from China." Which the grain is not...and was introduced to Japan via Europeans, not Chinese. Most J-people, when asked about the meaning, seem to think the tou was 東 or something and that it was introduced to Japan from China.

Indeed, but the "but they all look the same" factor seems to apply here.

On another tangent, I wonder if quinoa will do more hurt to Japan's rice industry than cheap foreign rice...it's already at the local Denny's

And by now Coligny is wondering what the fuck has happened to his FAO thread ...

Slight nitpick: although the kanji (now, thankfully, rarely seen) for トウモロコシ is apparently 玉蜀黍 and unrelated to the sound, you are probably thinking of the commonly used 唐 for トウ to indicate an exotic good, originally from Tang Dynasty China but later to indicate exoticness not limited to Tang. Also at times 唐 is から with a similar meaning. This is also reflected in dialectal names for maize: とうきび (foreign [Tang] millet) in Hokkaido.

After all, われわれ　毛唐人 are not regarded as being from China.

gogen-allguide.com has a pretty thorough explanation of 玉蜀黍 coming from Portugal in the 16th century, which looked similar to モロコシ, a vegetable already in Japan, originally from China (唐のモロコシ). You can see the full description in Japanese here.

you can make a damn good cheese cake... you can't even buy the ingredients for decent Mexican food over here.

But ya... cheese cake factory bomb as fuck if you haven't had some home made in a long time. I get me some good ol' pies of all kind made by some country folk. Can't beat that!

Found a place that makes and sells a good tortilla. Refried beans on the otherhand are freaking expensive. 500Y ish a can

a can? I am talking about buying bags by the pound. like, homemade stuffs.

I want to make my own tortillas too, but to get the right stuff for flower is also expensive as all hell.

I'm forced to buy the can. Can't find a place that has pinto beans. I usually just ask a friend from the base to hook me up. Even then the cumin spice is a pretty penny.

Psssh, maize, corn, toumorokoshi? Have you forgot what the internet word for it is?

[Coligny]

Don't think I'll ever understand cat universal affinity for corn...

[matsuki]

I thought it was corm?

[Coligny]

sorry, auticorrect fail...


crorm...

[J.A.F.O]

It's pretty similar to the japanese infatuation with putting crom on pizza. Abomination.

You forgot to mention canned tuna with corn kernels in it.

Still can't figure the marketing strategy behind that one.

Canned corn is bad enough, the canned tuna...from a cuntry that likes it fresh and raw

If Coligny was put in charge of getting information out of tight lipped terrorists.

Will the Swiss Quit Cooking their Kittens and Puppies?

Yes, animal rights activists are trying to ban the eating of cats and dogs in
Switzerland. But their petition is far short of the required 50,000 signatures.

When most people think of having the family cat or dog at the dinner table they don’t necessarily think of the pet on a plate. But in certain regions of Switzerland, it is apparently quite common to boil the cat or turn the dog into wieners—especially at Christmas time. When news broke last week that around 224,000 people, roughly three percent of the Swiss population, secretly eat domestic pets, we at The Daily Beast thought the story seemed too bizarre to be true.

In fact, the number of feline-feasting Swiss has proven impossible to back up with hard data, although nearly all Swiss animal rights groups agree on the figure...

Bomb the swiss, and take back the jew nazis gold they are hoarding...

Hoarding right - not holding? In which case it can`t be nazis gold. Maybe Inca? Naw... maybe Swiss?

Ah ah ah, it's funny because Coligny made a vocabulary error... Those damn French can't even speak a proper english...

[Russell]

Actually, it is not so funny that one particular Frenchman cannot write appropriate English...

[Samurai_Jerk]

What's wrong with Coligny's use of "hoarding?"

[Yokohammer]

Kinda confused myself. Either "hoarding" or "holding" would work in this instance, no?
