I will talk as little as I can here.  While displaying my ignorant weakness, I also like to report on Inca stuff.Try a google on "quinoa", and learn about natures most perfect food.  I read a long discourse on the intercourse about the historical cultivation of this remarkable food, native to high mountain ranges in South America.  Pre-Spanish Incan culture was based .....  Sorry, I don't want to run on, here.But you can get quinoa at health food outlets. Mana from heaven?  Maybe.  But one source claimed one can survive on it.  Perfection includes protiens, vitamins, and minerals - oh, and fats.  This teeny weenie little thing has it all.  That's why the Incas thrived, before Pizzaro (Spanish pizza man) came along.  With his wooden ships and armoured sailors, he disuaded native cultures. The rest is sad history; the extintion of a culture.  A violent culture, but were the Spanish conquistadors not violent?Move north, to .... yes, Columbus.  The beginning of a vast eradication of northern peoples.  Entire cultures decimated.  So, just whom is barbaric?  We?  Or, those we wiped out?  Or the wild invading European hordes? I tend to favor the Native Americans.  To me, our ancestors were an infectious virus spreading, east to west, across this land.And to me, it seems only a matter of time before we are decimated by natural causes. But, the best breakfast cereal around is genuine quinoa.  Rinse first in a fine strainer, then add to a pan of boiling water ( 1 part quinoa to 2 parts water, with salt).  With aluminun pans, get the water boiling before adding a pinch of salt.  Add the rinsed quinoa, and bring back to a boil, cover, turn fire to lowest setting, for ten minutes, then turn fire off, let rest for another 5 minutes.  Don't mess with the lid - it's sort of like rice, but much more nutrious.You will see tiny little dirt balls - just gulp it fast, so you don't grind you teeth on dirt.  Or get out tiny tweesers, and remove the tiny little balls of dirt before cooking.  The best quinioa comes from the high Andes, but if you can pick out those tiny little dirt balls, it sells for more than heroin poppies in the western market - they don't know no better.  Westerners will eat anything.  As viewed by ancient Spanish conquistadors that were not very smart.
