This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

You can boil wheat too. Ancient peoples used to make porridge

And by "porridge" you mean "beer".

Booze was the real motivator.

Guy: look at all this wheat I grew!

Fella; Wow, we could make so many bread!

Guy: Yes... Ah... Bread

And porridge is just incomplete beer.

Thank you! I was looking for this comment before posting about it. Almost every grain can be cooked in large amounts of boiling water, like pasta.
