And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
This guy inherited from his dad an ammunition collection. He says his dad was wanting to collect every type of round made. The collection is impressive. He is asking $1,000 but doesn't know how to value the collection. Someone might be interested.
That topic came up associated with which corn is best for the manufacture of masa for tamales. Supposedly using Indian corn of that type eliminates a step or two that you must take when using hybrid (organic or non-organic) corn. I can't speak to the truth of it though.
I used to grow the stuff for my wife. Every fall she'd hang the shit by every door in the place. Far as growing it, seems to me that it looked quite a bit like regular corn when it was young but would start coloring before it was grown. Got most of the color as it dried on the stalk. Never tried to eat any but I know for a fact that it's right up there on the racoon list of favorites.
First glance reminded me of a sample of the 4K or so varieties of Peruvian potatoes! Only familiar with 2-3 varieties of corn; “choclo” a large kernel white corn used in soups, stews and a roasted snack similar to peanuts. Second is purple corn. Prepared as either “chicha morada” a refreshing mildly sweet beverage or “mazamora morada” a pudding like dessert made with chopped pineapple and other fruits of choice. Served together warmed, rice pudding & mazamora is known In Peru as the “sweet marriage”. Neighborhood Latin stores carry easy to prepare mix versions of either dish.
This is glass gem corn, its cherokee, and got a big following. I was the first to give the seed out when gifted a pack. you can see some of the story on a thread at Bishops pro boards homegrown goodness that I did back in 2010. It has several uses. It partially pops and the unpopped grannies are awesome like corn nuts. Makes great cornbread and polenta. I grow it every year to preserve the seedline.

Glass Gem corn?
ReplyDeleteI have heard it can be made into meal, but why is it not edible any other way? Sour taste, tough? Anybody know?

DeleteThey grind it into blue tortilla chips. Hahahahahah. I'm talkin shit.
ReplyDelete@ Thomas-Maybe it doesn't have the bright colors until it drys out. Just guessing.

ReplyDeleteSome of the gender-alphabet colors are missing!

DeleteTrue enough not Struth!
ReplyDeleteWe have not had Indian corn in our local markets for the last two to three years.
ReplyDeleteSo, in the end, what's the shit good for?
