It’s that time of year where you get invited to a pumpkin patch or even a corn maze. As you walk through the maze, you’re surrounded by the corn leaves that are impressively taller than you. But when you walk through the maze, do you ever think about your preference of corn?
Personally, I don’t eat corn out of a can. The smell of the corn juice and seeing it be served on somebody’s plate absolutely disgusts me.
Every time I see someone serve corn on their plate and the juice runs to another side of the plate, I lose my appetite. I can’t even look at that person’s plate again.
Oddly enough, when it comes to corn on the cob, I can eat two or three in one sitting of course with loads of butter and salt. When my dad fires up the grill, I always make sure he includes a corn on the cob.
On Thanksgiving or other holidays when my family serves corn I make sure the corn is being cooked on the opposite side of the stove were my favorite foods are being cooked. Of course, there’s no way I let my family use the same spoon to serve the green beans and the corn.
Corn is served for many holidays and special dinners at my house. I usually ask my family to serve macaroni and cheese or scalloped potatoes instead of corn. I’m not too sure when my dislike came about for canned corn, but for as long as I can remember I will not eat corn out of a can. I’ve gotten older, I’ve become less picky with my food. Maybe this holiday season I’ll try canned corn again.
