The locals don't know how bad the corn is here, because most have never tried the crisp, sweet, juicy variety that is eaten in many other places.


Uhhh, Sweet corn abounds here. On pizza, in salads, spread on who knows what. As a corn hater, I am painfully reminded of this fact time and time again.



CANNED sweet corn. Not the same thing.

That said, I don't mind the Korean corn once in a while and I like it... but I don't expect sweet corn when I eat it. If you give me the choice, I'd go for sweet corn hands down, but I like the Korean corn too.

If all you have ever done is walk down the line and finally picked out which *beep* you want to lay your money down for, that is fine. However, that does not qualify you to judge what is like to have an actual, you know, a lover.

The same with sweet corn.

Either you have had the real thing and know what you are talking about, or you are just a poseur.

Sometimes Homeplus has fresh frozen corn (and peas). Add a little salt and butter to it and it's corn on the cob goodness without the cob.

My daughter given the choice between the dull yellow can stuff and the vibrant sweet frozen stuff....unfortunately...prefers the former. On the plus side, that means more frozen stuff for me.
