Vertmorpheus Posted October 24, 2007 Makes sense, I tend to get feral corn stalks popping up all over the place after a bit of stray rain. Noticed a lot of em get nailed by ducks really quickly, so I had a nibble ... tasty! Almost sickeningly sweet...ate a bit of raw sugarcane as a kid up north and it's not too far off, to the taste buds, and has to be more easily crushed. Might be more of a bastard to actually harvest though. Did a bit of looking around once and found a hillbilly beer recipe using cornstalks for sugar and molasses for tang, with rosemary or something like that for bitters... have to look around for it.

devance Posted October 26, 2007 ^The people in the U.S. have cheap food. But the food prices are going up, very rapidly. Corn grain in the ethanol gas tank is a foolish environmental mistake. Raises food prices as meat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kadakuda Posted November 4, 2007 isn't corn as a fuel source rather in efficient? seems a lot of energy and land would go into it for the amount produced....and price. surely there is better? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
