Mom used to ask me what I wanted to eat: corn or carrots. I usually replied corn, and she’d tell me to go pick enough for dinner.
Hopefully it wasnt just corn or carrots. Maybe some chicken, a pork chop, some mashed taters, and then..what you want corn or carrots?
I just learned large amount of nutmeg can cause hallucinations.
I've known this for over 22 years

Myristicin, very chemically similar to Saffrole.
Both very chemically similar to the most popular party drug.
“Man who really likes nutmeg, hallucinates that he was in the 1800s for years”
It is true! But apparently it's a rough return to reality, often involving needing the bathroom a lot for a couple days afterward.
In Post Falls Idaho around 1995 when the Dominican Nuns came from France to open an all girls school, fellow parishioners, offered them a truck load of yellow sweet corn for food for them, they had felt insulted at first, because they had been taught that corn was only for animals, it took them awhile to realize that the sweet corn is meant for human consumption and then they were not insulted anymore, they had so much, that they froze it, canned it, and even dried it for cornmeal.🥰🥰
I’ve heard that a lot about Europeans-it’s mostly considered animal feed to them 🤷♂️
I really enjoy your live streams, your knowledge and your inclusiveness - seeing the continent as a whole, especially. "More Nutmeg"! ❤
It became so common a food they took it for granted.
Thanks for sharing these facts about corn . Actually it was quite interesting and had lots of facts I remembered from some childhood meals with some poor folks. They lived next to a farmers cornfield that was within feet of their house. They ate well on meals of fried corn that was harvested before it was entirely ripened for harvesting for the animals. It was not a sweet corn like you can grow or purchase at the groceries, but this lady would send you away from her table full and satisfied . Thanks for bringing back the memories from over 70 years ago. Stay safe and keep up the great videos. Fred.
I love watching corn
Didn’t make the livestream, so just catching up. Having my corn on the cob while you discuss corn. Thanks for hosting the NutMeg Tavern. 👍👍
This is my favorite thumbnail from any RUclips video I've ever seen.
Thanks Jon, Lauren, and Ivy.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌻🌻
I found enjoyable and informative. My
one brother is allergic to corn. Sad part is
he does like it🌽. It's not that it is deadly
to him. But the Consequences of eating🌽
are much greater than the enjoyment.
I did grow 🌽once or should I say tried to.
it may have been to late in the season here
in Phoenix. Planted by the end of February Early March. Start out grate make sure had plenty of frtilizer.(heavy feeders)
Planed the 3 sistets way.
But if they were supposed to be as high as an Elephants
eye. The only one mine could match is the one in The Jungle Book. Each stock had 4 ears of various sizes. The ones that had kernels were about 4 inches. To long to pickle. Thow so they were small though. They were yellow. Not white or green. Of thoses ears only 3 even looked viable to put in a pan of water. They were so small. 🤣🤣🤣 I truly don't think it was worth the energy it took to cook them. Thankfully I did get backups at the store. You know like when you go fishing.🐟😁
I think I will try again. But start in January and if we get a frost I will just cover them when I cover the cactus. 🌵👍🏻Thanks again Townsend family. See you next week week. 🌹
Talking about historical uses of corn other than for eating - They knew well in Kentucky how to make it into ethanol! Bourbon is primarily corn based whiskey.
I'm hoping that a PBS network of some kind of public station takes a notice of you and gives you your own program your own series you deserve it you are great you have no idea how awesome you truly are❤
Insert Family Guy “Stewie visits Iowa” scene here 😂 also you misspelled Koяn 😝
You are so silly. 👍🏼😂😂😂🌻
Dried hominy is one of my favorites for long term storage.
I read only 1% of the massive amount of corn grown in the US is sweet corn, the rest is for animal feed and ethanol production and is unpalatable. I remember having access to several varieties of ear corn in early the 70's Western Maryland farm community, where my grand parents lived. I looked forward to corn on the cob, rolled on a stick of room temperature butter, at summer bar-b-q and picnic events. It was easily purchased from roadside fruit stands or out of pick up trucks. I remember seeing fields of sweet yellow, white and white with some yellow kernels (I have heard that called "peaches and cream" today), the dented "field corn", dried out for animal feed and a small amount of mostly dark purple corn that people called "Indian corn" (never saw anyone eat that. It was popular decorations for Halloween and Thanksgiving). Also pop corn! A pot with a bit of oil in the stove was the usual method, Jiffy Pop was only ever used at Christmas, because it was less greasy and easier to thread with a small gauge sewing needle, to decorate the tree. (Loose corn in the pot tasted best)
The kids would get to shuck a bushel of corn, for a crab feast. Granny knew how to keep us busy.
My Great Aunt made an Eastern Shore corn soup, a very simple recipe of fresh, milky corn, cut off the cob, with a lot of black pepper. It was absolutely fantastic.
I bought a few ears, from a local stand this past week and steamed them. They tasted great.
Even tho I joined late I hoped my 1 dollar helped
Mmmm. Corn 🌽🌽🌽🌽
When I was a kid I learned that the average lifespan doubled from 30 to lates 60’s when corn was introduced. It seems corn has enough nutrition available to stave off starvation and still is a cheap food for protein and carbs.
I love this channel
Corn is .... complex. 😉
I've been in love with corn for a long time. It's like a big rabbit hole. For me, growing corn is almost a spiritual act.
Corn silk is used medicinally even now. If I remember correctly, it soothes the ureters.
Buffalo Bird's people are the ones that took Sacagawea from her Shoshone tribe and gave her or sold her to Charbonneau which put her in contact with Lewis and Clark which took her to her tribe if only for a visit. The Hadatsa and Mandan people were somewhat sanctuaries for those escaping the Spanish to the French. As to other uses of corn does the term light a shuck sound familiar? Corncobs burn well. I would imagine they were good to start fires or for a fast hot fire. The funny thing about corn is the season was always to short where I live for modern corn until some of the new hybreds came out in the last 25 years. Even with that it is chopped early for silage.
John, corn silks are used for the bladder. I'm sure they used husks to make dolls also.
Corn cob pipes
I guess a tea can be made from the green corn silk for urinary infections.
Thank you
The mention of 'girkins' i wonder also makes me think about size and maybe the pickle corn are baby corn as in stir fry
I love your channel I love your channel you guys are great I love you guys you and your partner and every friend and guest you bring to the channel and learning about corn from you is a treat to me I'm a huge corn fan I eat corn Mexican corn all kinds of corn and I have deep respect for corn I even got to grow corn myself at home
I really enjoyed this corny talk today
Now I desperately want to watch a movie about a man who gets a prehistoric intestinal parasite from eating mammoth meat. It would be like a cross between Jurassic Park and The Thing.
We had corn on the cob last night for supper. Just CoC and a little bit of butter.
I tresure the VALUE you give to food....great Message👍
This man is so smart and dedicated. His father taught him how to appreciate and live history.
Then after he built a following, and incorporated, his partners pulled a Zuckerberg on him.
I still support him. But only watch the episodes where he is the presenter..
I LOVE CORN I LOVE CORN I LOVE CORN NC FOR THE WIN
Corn is mentioned in the Bible but I was told that it used to mean a general term for grain.
I wish corn was more nutritious, I love corn on the cob with butter and salt 😔
My ex-girlfriend said the people from Illinois are the real children of the corn.
I have not tried it but corn smut is supposed to be very good to eat.
Interesting, thank you
It’s a big lump with knobs…. It has the juice
Corn makes a hell of a tobacco pipe!
Been hitting the nutmeg and corn beer a little hard today?
There is a bigger older footprint 👣....I was at a NASA tent looking at constellation.
I said" If corn came from New World how is it in that constellation?"
Silage is best cut when the kernels are in the dough stage.
I saw an interview with a guy who said he tried some mammoth. He didn't get sick, but he said it wasn't very good.
Corn, natures magnificent re-bar🌽
I wish your team was able to do an episode about pilgrim iconography.
Like for example, what is a cornucopia aka horn of plenty? Is it a basket, or is it meant to hold food to serve out of?
Did you not have a recipe for succotash that used corn, and parched corn? Nothing using corn flower? That seems strange it is so absent from the cookbooks of the time
It's my understanding that most if not all 18th century corn was hand painted.
Do one on nixtamalization of corn, which the indians did so as to not get sick with Pellagra.
Bourbon
Was there a particular hub for corn back then?
💛...in a current non-edible use of corn, very fine corn starch is used for body powders...is this a recent development?...
Yes, because they used to use talc, which turned out to be carcinogenic.
Mano y metate (? I think) is the flat mortar and pestle.
Where I live I think we call it Sweet corn or White Corn.
Cattle corn, flint corn
Scientists have regrown mammoth meat and ate it, it did not end well. 😢😢😢

I hate that meme but this is a great video.
Cornyoucopia
Suppose there had been no corn in the native cultures and none available for European immigrants. What, do you imagine, would’ve taken its place?
Late watching
very corny
You ramble too much.
