Lunch today using up some of the leftover roast beef from yesterday some proper nice cheddar cheese with strong english mustard squashed between some bread and toasted on the stove top. Delicious!

Nice, I live 20 miles from wookey can’t beat Somerset cheddar

[19801]

Yours look better than the ones I saw on my walk yesterday

[RosaCanDo]

Thats probably field corn, looks pretty normal. Different uses. Sweet corn is very pretty, that’s for sure!

[19801]

Yes field corn thousands of them is it not the same ?

[Leebg79]

Nice, i used to live nearby when i was a kid between Wells and Shepton mallet, also lived near to bridgewater and weston super mare. I love Somerset its where my roots are!

[RosaCanDo]

No, very different. Field corn is not edible without being processed into something else, is often used for ethanol in the USA at least, but also oil, meal, animal feed, etc. sweet corn is a different variety that can be eaten fresh. There are lots of indigenous and other native varieties of corn, too, which can be very flavorful and used to make masa, or the corn flour based dough for tortillas and so on.

I honestly know far more about corn since living in Nebraska than I ever knew as a Californian.

[RosaCanDo]

Yeah, same about living in Iowa! Though my grandpa was an extension service guy (farm support with the University of Illinois) and former farmer so I grew up knowing way too much about crops and farming.

[RosaCanDo]

In my internet research this morning I learned something new. Field corn is also known as “dent” corn because of the dent in the kernel as it dries. New to me!

[Runningfree]

I could have said no but where’s the fun in that I love a good pumpkin roll

Corn education first thing on a Monday is priceless. Thank you. No sarcasm here I learned something.
