[Sca-cooks] Fwd: Peanuts are New World?

[Stefan li Rous]

Ah, okay, those "Corn Pops", I recognize. Breakfast cereal. I thought the list was on snack foods. I guess some people do eat them as a snack. But some folks consider them food also. :-)  Kinda like twinkles.

Also getting a ways from what the natives would have considered food.  Cold breakfast cereals are really only a little over a century old.

Okay, I don't consider "yesterday's porridge" to be a "cold breakfast cereal. :-)

You did mention corn chips initially. But either as corn chips or tortilla chips, I don't consider them that far from what the native central American' are. Although I'm not sure what cooking oils they might have used or if they had any.  Having seen, but not eaten :-(, street tacos in Mexico, I hadn't considered that the frying of tortillas might also have been introduced by the Europeans. 

You can bake tortillas. You don't have to fry them.  Hmmm. Then there's Navaho fry bread.  Now that I think about it, that may be of flour and not corn.

>> Yes, on the popcorn. But what do you mean by "corn pops"?
>> 
>> If you mean what I think of as "corny dogs", they are coated with corn meal, but the insides are hot dogs, which are usually mostly pork or beef. Hot dogs on sticks, dipped in batter and deep fried.
