As Europeans and their decendents the Earliest Americans desired, loved and craved bread. But with wheat being a tough go generally at these early stages, the whole in their grain loving hearts was filled by corn.

So when it was time to leave home and go to war, or just on adventure, corn came with them as well. As cornbread - sure - but that was actually pretty uncommon. Instead puddings, porridges and as parched corn was much more likely.

Find out why cornmeal now needs wheat flour to hold together (bad) but doesn't go rancid in three month or less (good).

And Corn Whiskey is back - feeding the troops and calming them down when food is short.

Corn for all seasons - even when not at home.
