Corn is definitely Western Hemisphere, right?
In my head I have that being swapped for wheat, so yeah.
Gunn: Well, how horrible is this thing? Lorne: I haven't read the Book of Revelations lately, but if I was searching for adjectives, I'd probably start there.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I hate Skinny Bitch. The original book, the cookbook, the whole concept. Hate it all. Aside from the abusive language, which I don't really care about but other people have said it reads exactly like the internal monologue of an anorexic, it starts off with "Stop putting all those chemicals and crap into your body!" and then ends with lists of vegan junk food and fake meats and cheeses. Honestly, if you're going for fewer chemicals, cheese from a farmers market dairy farmer beats Tofutti "cheese" easily.

The best immediate revenge for the Europeans for a new and improved form of syphilis.
As I recall, the earliest known cultivated grains in Eurasia were barley and ancestors of modern wheat. We're still only talking about 10,000 or so years, though, which is not very long in evolutionary terms. After all, we still don't really have the hang of walking upright. We should page Jars for more details. The New World crops included corn, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, chocolate, tobacco, squash and a number of beans.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Om nom nom nom.
Except for the tobacco.

Cranberries and blueberries are New World too, right?

Tobacco did change to world, but it may also be a long-term revenge on the Old World invaders. The most immediate revenge explorers brought back was new and improved syphilis.

Kind of a dealbreaker, for me.

Oh, syphilis. I laugh every time I see a poster on the bus warning us that SYPHILIS IS BACK. I shouldn't laugh because it isn't funny, except that it so is.
