Rotten Corn

[Silk]

I don't know if this is done in other countries, but Maori have been doing it for a long time, even though they never saw corn until Europeans arrived. I've seen it, and smelled it when I used to stay with Maori in Taranaki, but never got it near my mouth....still not interested.

Sounds about as bad as liqourice to me...

I'd give it a try to be honest, plenty of delicious products already use fermentation or mold insemination...so why not?

I'd give it a crack personally.

The media's use of "rotten" is designed to instill a certain "eww", and have people pass the article on.

Every traditional culture has fermentation. Pickled cabbage is everywhere that there's cabbage.

Yoghurts, even bread...could be described as "infected", or "rotten" if you wanted to make a point.

Oh, and by the way, when I saw a thread called "rotten corn" by silk, in the menu bar, I laughed...sorry.

Not a media tag...it's called rotten corn.

I'll pass thanks. Just like that rotten cabbage the Koreans bury till it's rotten then dig up and eat. Some would call either a delicacy and to each his own. Still, you know what fly's consider a delicacy.

Use of "rotten" in same sentence as corn no permitido ese.
