| Americans seem to be the only people who understand the virtues of sweet corn on the cob. A native American grain related to wheat, barley and rye, corn didn't reach Europe until the sixteenth century. It's still far more popular here than among Europeans, who continue to call corn by its proper name--maize. Sweet corn is harvested young for use as a vegetable. Field corn is the variety that's dried and ground for meal, pressed for corn oil or used as feed for livestock. The best sweet corn is an ear that's brought from the field straight to the pot. |
