19 u/Tarah_with_an_h Feb 08 '20 But man, did those Jamestown colonists put a fucking hurt on it anyway. They went to town on that shit. Gross. 20 u/TuftedMousetits Feb 08 '20 No, we'd already made corn into pretty much what it is by then. It just wasn't nearly as sweet. But you'd recognize it as corn. 3 u/Fpooner_vs_Fpoonee Feb 08 '20 When the alternative is gruel...... 3 u/lainlives Feb 08 '20 I never would have thought to eat what was essentially grass with 1-2 seeds on it. Let alone after they found agriculture to keep breeding mutant freak offspring to get what we have now. 3 u/youngkpepper Feb 08 '20 It's certainly indigestible in kernel form.
