Noble Cousin! Greetings from Solveig! Peanut butter was invented in the United States by George Washington Carver. Just because something is currently popular does not mean that it is any way antique. Your Humble Servant Solveig Throndardottir Amateur Scholar Ummm..I guess you missed my previous post where I said there was no way in hell it could be period? I was saying it might be tasty, not period!

Possibly.
The board only lists the past 20 posts in the order they pop up, then you have to backtrack through an individual thread.
Shudder. Um, no. Revoke my ninja decoder ring rights, but I think mochi is an abomination.

LOL "nature's Imodium"-you are just not used to it I guess.
In hawaii there are many recipes for all kinds of mochi-due in part to the melding of soo many cultures. I have several recipes-which may seem modern to me,have been met with better results for those not raised on a rice-heavy diet.

I LOOOVE Mochi! But did you know that there are several deaths every year due to choking on mochi? if youv'e had home made, it's MUCH worse than the kind they sell in the little packages.
You know, you could probably take someone out with a stale peanut butter mochi...sounds lethal!!!

unfortunately I have heard of that...every year, they warn that elderly and children should beware about the choking hazard. But of course anything that is sticky-gooey in a large mass could be choked on, gummi worms,gummi rats, large chunks of taffy, etc..
and i dunno who came up with the term "hawaiian pizza" which i think is just a faddy way to sell ham and pineapple onna pizza-which i do enjoy, course I also like blk olives as well on mine. But yea-people in hawaii do the oddest things to food-but hey if it tastes good- who am I to complain?
But I am not keen on "peanut butter" mochi... blech!
That's like early vegetarians eating tofu slices with jam on multi-grain bread! Blech blech! outrageous!
tho if you put hardened mochi in a sling-yea- you can take out someone (it has been tried)

Can I play too? Can I! Can I?
We can compare hardened mochi to hardened peanut butter. Might take a year or two for the peanut butter to get to the right consistency, but it can be done! Or maybe marshmallow peeps.

LOL-I can see it now...
Missile competition: old Mochi cakes, Rice-balls, peanut-butter(?)
also, don't miss out on the Ume-seed spitting contest!
Peeps were best used on the road- make designs, and watch folks run over them to create that just right- flatness.
even hard- peeps are too light to get good lift. Course traditional xmas fruitcake could be used in a trebuchet......
;D

You know, I think even mochi with an, if aged long enough, would age into a nice hard projectile..and it would also be period!

I don't think slings were used by the Japanese though. They are fun to play with though. A couple of years ago, someone I know was trying to calibrate a trebuchet and brought a basket full of fruit and vegetables to experiment with and I happened to have my staff sling along. (Biodegradable and less likely to kill someone than real rocks.) Softball sized onions, potatoes and lemons did very well from the trebuchet, hand slings and staff slings. The trebuchet could handle larger potatoes, but we didn't have enough space in the bucket for enough rocks to counterweight the canteloupe. It went straight up - and came straight DOWN!!!! Saionji
