Makes my mouth water... There is no sweet corn to be found in Mexico. An anthropologist I heard speak recently finally explained why. Mexican corn feeds both animals and people and is used as seed corn. Thus it needs to be what is known as a "hard" corn that can be stored. Sweet corn cannot be stored and has only one purpose and is therefore not worth the use of land.
