Throwing Rice At Weddings Will Make Birds Explode is the same sort of old wives tale.

They all seem to put on vast amounts of weight and look like their going explode once the vows are said....oh you mean feathered birds !

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

Where can I get maize from?

 

 

:hypocrite:

Eating wild caught fish is good for my health, reduces food miles and keeps me fit trying to catch them........it's my choice to do it, not yours to stop me!

Hampton court?

Maize is cattle food ,sweetcorn is human food ,maize just wont cook properly if your nightime foray gets the wrong type as i found out

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

Well peanuts and peas are both Fabaceae, both members of the pea/bean family, or am I missing something?

All,

Peanuts are indeed "nuts". They are just not "tree nuts" """"In the U.S., peanuts and peanut butter are the most popular nut choice and comprise 67% of all nut consumption.""""

 

Why can't legumes be nuts?

 

And tomatoes are vegies.
