I am surprised that Verne would get something so innocuous wrong. Corn is in fact a grain, not a vegetable. Also If I remember right doesn’t candy corn have a gelatin base? No vegetarian can eat jello or marshmellows. They also shouldn’t eat most cheeses. Vegans of course refrain from all of it. Sorry for the long post.. My brain decided it wanted to talk.

Actually corn is a starch and not a vegie. the way it goes in is the way it comes out……it is not digestable…..

bubbareb: A very old (even before my time) fire-making rule in Boy Scouts was that all items must be found wild, at the site. My father would always look for “wild paper” (trash) for the tinder – and usually find it. Nowadays it is assumed.
