A New Puzzlement

[wyld_dandelyon]

As I've mentioned, I'm allergic to corn.

Now they're making "cornplastic" glasses, plates, forks, and the like.

Is it safe for me to eat with/out of them?

Oh. I got all excited and forgot to answer your question.

My mouth tingles and my throat can swell (painfully, though not - yet - dangerously) when I eat from or drink out of a corn-made or corn-coated cup/dish/utensil. I prefer to avoid it.

One of my friends said the corn-made utensils at his workplace start to dissolve after a while and taste odd, so I would tend not to trust them either.

I think they're supposed to be biodegradable, so I'd expect the dissolving.
It sucks that so much "green" stuff is made from corn.

Biodegradeable should let you eat one meal in peace!

IMHO, of course.
