Bugle chips, are just the recycled taps that they use for the stalks.
IIRC there has been speculation that teosinte was originally cultivated for their stalks which were juiced much like sugar cane. Only later when a mutation got rid of the rock hard seed coat did it become a grain crop.
Fuck you for mentioning bugals with Christmas coming up. They stopped selling them in Canada, and there is no valid replacement.
It’s a fucking tragedy.
Funny meme otherwise.
If you have any Asian/Korean markets near you, look for a chip called 꼬깔콘 (Kokkal Cone) Popping Corn chips.
They are the Korean equivalent of bugles, albeit imo a bit sweeter and less savory. Still beats not having bugles at all!
EDIT: There is a version of said chip that comes with closed triangles instead of cones… you will have to find the version with cones. It looks like this, except the original flavor has a red bag.
I will look into this, thank you. I’ll make it a quest objective for my partner. She’s Chinese and loves hunting down food I want (and unlike me, loves going I to Asian markets).
Just make a good effort to locate the fish market area and keep a 10ft radius from the nearest open freezer/tank.
I am Asian, fare okay in fish markets in Asia, and still struggle with the smell of my local Asian fish market in the US.
Let’s see, we produce about 7.6 million short tons of corn syrup every year in the US. A short ton is about 240 gallons. So that is about 1.8 billion gallons of corn syrup and those tiny buckets look like roughly a cup per stalk. So that would be approximately 28.8 billion little buckets to collect all that sweet corn syrup.
If everyone helped out with this that worked in the corn industry (183,000 workers) that would mean they would only have to collect around 150,000 cups each. Totally doable I think.
That’s just for corn sap. You need to boil it down by almost 90% for high grade syrup.
This meme is corny
I keep the wine makers in my thoughts as tapping the grape vines is even harder. Those can be super thin from what I understand.
Good for a prank but nothing in comparison to the spaghetti crop prank from the BBC in 1957
This is amazing
Corn snakes, Cornish hens, Nigel Cornberry, the ethical sources of corn syrup are only restricted by the imagination.
cooorrrn maaaaazze
Just think of the lost sap collectors that got lost in the corn maze
“I’m just going to grab… my jacket”
corn on the cob > corn syrup
I will die on this hill.
Also thank the residents of Decatur for putting up with that stink
