Harker had brought Mina to Queens to visit a maze farm. She was astounded by the acres and acres of corn planted in such a way that they stood tall and clustered together to block the way and force them to choose certain paths.
"Ah, I love the smell of corn." Harker smiled. "Did you know that it's me and Roland's favorite snack back then?"
"Really?" She looked around.
The truth was that she had never tasted corn before. Maize existed in the plains, so they were too far from the sea to even be introduced to the jiaorens.
And during her time as a human, she mostly ate vegetables and meat but not root crops as Alejandro told her they might 'give her the runs'. Which basically means diarrhea, a human condition where their bowels turn to more liquid and they need to pass waste more frequently, she learned.
