Not too bad...

12 years ago

A long time ago, there was a thread on the forum about sweet corn. Most (maybe all?) said it wasn't available here in Ecuador. Ila claimed she was going to grow her own, but of course the forces of evil banished Ila to the cornfield, so we'll never know how that worked out.

Last week I was in Super-Maxi and they had what appeared to be sweet corn for sale. It was expensive, but curiosity got the best of me and I shelled out the $2.20 for three ears. I just ate it. Pretty darn good.

I have no idea where it came from (for that price, it may well have been imported) but it was fresh and tasty. I was raised in rural Idaho, so I know good corn. This was good.

I have no idea if they will have it again. If you need a corn fix, look for it.
