We don’t eat field corn here, either. It’s fed to hogs, cattle, poultry, sheep, goats, horses, even farm-raised fish and domestic pets. It’s the gold standard of energy in livestock rations.
Sweet corn is totally different. Too bad you have missed out on that. A taste-bud treat!
Pop corn is da bomb, too.
I think them Aztecs had a good idea ;-)
Gee golly willikers. Welcome to the land of corn fed women...
Cane sugar has fructose as well,and in nearly the same proportions.As for ethanol,the Europeans are already into alternative energy, but you can shove your European potato vodka. I`ll take Kentucky Bourbon over that rubbing alcohol any day.
Someone played a dirty trick on you when they fed you field corn.
When you eat beans with corn complete proteins result, through a process of mutual supplementation (the beans supplement the corn, and vice versa). Some genius stumbled upon that fact and created the bean taco. (Corn and beans aren't the only combination that work this way — but, it does show that corn can be part of a healthy diet.)
Try Silver Queen white sweet corn. You’ll like it.

Gold-n-pearl is another good one. The kernels are mixed yellow and gold.

There is probably an ancient Aztec farmer with a bin full of teosinte who is still waiting for the price to go up before he sells. (Some things never change.)
The lovely, ordinary potato was once upon a time condemned by the aristocracy as unfit for their own consumption. :’)
The Silver Queen we buy now doesn’t seem to be the same one we bought 20 years ago.
;’)
I’ll stick with my potatoes you can have your corn...:>)
“The corn is as high as an elephant’s eye”
Elephants not being overly common in Oklahoma, I wonder how they knew when to harvest it.

I enjoy corn anytime, but the best way is, grow it, pick it, husk it, cook it, eat it, in order, as quickly as possible. :’)
Is that really needed? Its not new and has nothing to do with the OP. I see it on religious forums which allow liberals and atheists to post. Leftists pretend all Christians believe that. And they repeat it over and over and over.
