Just a short post about a new taste delight.

Today we were coming back from Amealco, Mexico when Ana pulled the car over at a corn stand located on the side of the road. It was located across from a fresh juice stand on the right and a fruit seller on the left. As we walked up to the the “ma and pa” business, more cars stopped and people got out. Never had a seen such a run on corn in my life.

At this stand you could choose boiled corn or corn blackening on the grill. I chose the boiled. The owner opened the lid and again got to choose…white corn or yellow…and then the exact ear I wanted. After finding the perfect ear it was grabbed out of the hot pot and handed over to a young girl who quickly skewered it with a large wooden stick. Fresh lime was then squeezed over the entire length of the corn until the juice was dripping off the golden ear. Then a thick coat of mayonnaise was slathered on like butter on a biscuit. When the corn was white and gooey from the mayo it was then rolled in a bin of shredded cheese. Finally, it was seasoned with salt and chili lime. And this corn, something I would have turned my nose up on had I known about it has suddenly become another amazing flavor combination that is just heavenly. I hope you will try this unlikely combination and experience for yourself this amazing taste of Mexico.
