Yes, and others from the Black Lodge in Fire Walk With Me, and Good Coop when he first passed through the electrical socket in the model home. It was just a small amount, compared to DoppelDale.

It was actually Dougie, not Dale, throwing up corn mixed with some black liquid.

I simply drew a link between corn and creamed corn. Why creamed corn? Dunno, but it looks the same when either ingesting it or regurgitating it. The blackened garmonbozia that Mr C vomited seemed, to me,  to be a mix of creamed corn and scorched oil. Perhaps it is a "pure heroin version" of our pain and suffering.

For sure. Pure 'black lodge' grade.

One tiny thing. One of the Mitchum bros eats corn for breakfast. No, I don't think it was garmonbozia or he's Bob, but it was a nice easter egg

The garmonbozia was a manifestation of pain and suffering which the spirits like Bob gathered from this world but fed to the magician's. It seems to I've them power. I think it may be how the doppleganger and the golem are powered.

I don't think there is any narrative difference between the Garmonbozia of Twin Peaks 2017 and the original Twin Peaks.  I think that now they have more freedom to explore what garmonbozia -really- looks like.  Back in 90-91, when it was on regular cable television, they probably had less resources and less freedom to explore what garmonbozia really looked like.

 

edit:  ... And yes, "garmonbozia" is pain and suffering, which is the nourishment black lodge entities require to sustain them.  I mean, just look at all of the pain and suffering that continue to plague the town of Twin Peaks.  Domestic violence, addiction to drugs, murder, corruption, etc.

I was playing trivia pursuit with the boys the other day and the question was what product was advertised as a magician in a can.....niblets corn......I still get creeped out about the descriptions of the magicians in the original series...

Oh interesting. I didn't make the connection at all between creamed corn and the black corn on Hawk's map. Nothing is a coincidence.

And let's not forget that asshole, corrupt Deputy Chad ate creamed corn in the Twin Peaks Sheriff's Department conference room in episode 9.

Interesting-- so you're positing that the non-Belushi Mitchum is not  eating the same Raisin Bran as the Belushi Mitchum?   This is particularly intriguing if it plays out in their respective behavior... Arguably, it already has, given how the Belushi Mitchum's dream restrains the Robert Knepper Mitchum.

That said, there's corn syrup in nearly all breakfast cereal, which seems, IMO, to be Lynch's point. Oil, nuclear power and corn each represent manifestations of humanity's destructive (indeed, modernity's self-destructive) tendencies ....

Rodney Mitchum was eating Corn Pops cereal (formerly "Sugar Corn Pops"). Bradley was eating (more accurately, poured but didn't eat) Raisin Bran. Both Kellogg's products FWIW.

Breakfast of champions.

Too early for a hearty meal of pain and suffering, try some vitamin packed ire and irritation in our Garmonbozia Light. Part of healthy, balanced breakfast brought to you by the BlackLodgeIndustries.
