The Grain Elimination Game: GO TO POLL
The rules:
1. you may vote once per day
2. you vote by adding a point to a grain you like, and subtracting a point from one you don't
3. once a grain has 0 points, it is eliminated and cannot be voted for again
4. the game ends with a poll where you vote for one option.
note - "wheat" refers to refined wheat (white flour, regular pasta/couscous, etc). both wheats include stuff like semolina/durum, hard/soft varieties. "rice" refers to white rices. Corn includes stuff like polenta, grits, masa, etc.

Definitely add amaranth and teff. Also kamut.
I think at least brown and white rice should be split up. Hmmmm. This is a weird one. "Wheat" is a lot of stuff, but "pasta" is not a grain... ??? Maybe do like semolina flour, whole wheat flour, ....etc?
Amaranth
Bulgur
Kamut
Rye
Wild rice?
Durum wheat
Kamut
the problem with durum is that it's used for semolina, couscous, bread flour, bulgur, but not cake flour. =/
How about:
whole wheat
wheat
?
I like that you put kamut on that list twice ;)
Brown and white rice should definitely be separate. Other than that, I'm fine with whatever.
Yeah, just go with whatever. Ha! I've never even had kamut... This will be a bit of a strange one if we do iron chef. ..maybe

Indeed. But so are a few others, so I dunno where I'll go.
There are some things I'm good with eliminating, but there are 7 things on the list I really like =/
This is going to be hard, once a few of the weird ones get eliminated.
