It has never occurred to me to be picky when selecting
corn. Corn has always seemed appropriately mysterious, all cloaked in husk and
silk.
Corn is maybe the only produce I haven’t been picky about, and yet here
was this lady, all edges and elbows, crowding me away from the crate at the
supermarket so that she have first dibs and squeeze them all.
Some people are as picky about their corn as anything else-to the point of how that lady was; and they will squeeze the corn and stick their fingernails into it in order to determine how fresh it is by how far the corn juice squirts out. The downside to this, however, is if they're not happy with the corn juice squirt ratio, other folks now have corn with fingernail holes in it. Not so appetizing.
