Of all the new foodstuffs Columbus discovered when he found the New World, none has had the impact of corn. Just try to imagine a world of wheat chips, popped wheat, and wheat whiskey and you will see what we mean. In addition to the five hundred industrial uses that corn now has, it relentlessly feeds America and the world n the form of corn flakes and grits, breads, muffins, puddings, pancakes, tortillas, chips, tamales, polenta, hominy for stewing, starch for coating and thickening, oil for cooking, syrup for sweetening, and whiskey for sipping. Of course there are a few sweets for the truly corn obsessed. In addition to the best corncakes and waffles ever to meet a bottle of maple syrup, candied corn reaches new heights in crepes, and in crème brulee dotted with caramelized kernels of young, sweet corn. Bright orange Halloween corn will never taste the same! Best wishes for a happy corn season.
