Never even heard of it.

Probably because it’s something only the rich can afford.

It used to be poor people food, specifically poor Andean people. Then the hipsters got a hold of it, and labeled it a super food. Tastes terrible. There’s a reason only poor people ate it for centuries.

Wife asked me to get her some quinoa next time I went shopping so she could try it.

I asked, "What in the world is 'keen-wa'? Which is how it is pronounced.

She explained it to me and then stated it was a staple in the diet of ancient Incas.

My statement of quinoa maybe being why there are no more Incas was answered with the all too familiar tongue click. Brought some home. She tried it. Agreed with me about disappearance of Incas.

Into the garbage.
