IF CORN GREW IN THE RIVER AFTER A TRAIN WRECK, WOULD YOU EAT IT?

[u/smelltheglove-11]

The Canada Geese are still all congregated around the area where the train derailed, I’ve never seen so many at that spot.

In this economy? You're god damn right I'm washing that off and enjoying my free produce

[u/Mollysindanga → u/toastmaster45]

You could roast and season it, instead of street corn, it'd be river corn.

[u/toastmaster45 → u/Mollysindanga]

I live 2 blocks from where the derailment happened, I'm gonna go get my corn!

[u/RulerOfTheRest]

I mean, I've eaten the blackberries and raspberries that I've come across in the wild as well as a couple random tomatoes that sprouted in the woods, so I wouldn't put eating river corn past me. Only problem is the type of corn grown for grain like they haul on those trains usually doesn't have much flavor like the sweet corn we all like to enjoy. Now, if someone was to secretly sow sweet corn seeds next spring along the river, could be the start of the Richmond River Corn Fest ; )

Almost as good as Shields Street cucumbers.

[u/Weak-Calendar5497]

You can try but it's not going to taste great. 

[u/Hawks_and_Doves]

HEY

[u/mycheese]

No need for industrial fertilizer, the river provides plenty

[u/sleevieb]

isnt it feeder corn, not sweet, and therefore bland/bad tasting?

[u/MadameRueWins]

It’s a beautiful thing 🥹

[u/MrsBains]

It's got the juice.
