The bumps are the ends of the mammary ducts. There are about 20 of these on each nipple, and they help drain milk from different segments of the breast. Some women’s are more noticeable than others, but unless there’s some unusual inflammation or redness around them, they’re fine.

It seems that some foods are ethnically associated, and some are race associated. I grew up in ND, another Scandinavian stronghold, and yep — a lot of people ate Lutefisk. And putting macaroni in chili turns it into ‘goulash,’ which I think is really a Hungarian food which probably bears scant resemblance to the midwestern dish. I now live in a predominantly African-American neighborhood in which there is a lot of barbequing (sp?) and smoking of meat (mostly pork, it seems) going on. (I never saw a smoker until I moved here.) I would disagree with the woman who posted a response that said noting such things is part of an ‘us/them’ mentality. Is it really wrong to notice and talk about differences? Does it mean we’re prejudiced or racist to notice patterns of behavior, be it in foods consumed, clothing worn, music enjoyed, etc.? What I like about these forums is that people can talk about such seemingly trivial things that may help us understand one another and feel more comfortable around one another. PS to Jennifer: it’s quicklime that is used to decompose bodies. Not lye. Lye is also used in making certains kinds of hominy (grits).
