Corn's pretty different though, mongers, since I'm sure we're talking about sweet corn -- a vegetable for practical purposes, ready to eat right away alongside any other garden vegetable.  Not the kind of corn that would have to be milled into flour, a la wheat.  Which is a pretty odd garden crop, I agree.

Oh I know the difference between US and English usage of corn.  :bowler:.

I assumed you did. :alberta:  Just noting that there are other types of corn/maize that do need to be processed to be edible, unlike sweet corn.

I don't see sweet corn that much in household gardens, but it is an extremely popular crop for smallish farmers to sell as a sideline at farmstands and whatnot.  Especially dairy farmers, since I believe they are using the same or similar variety for silage purposes.

Pffft A&M has been doing strange things to sheep for over a century.

I saw an Aggie shirt Saturday that had a picture of a cow on the back with the caption, "You call it a mascot.  We call it a hamburger.".  I thought it should be, "You call it a mascot.  We call it a fun Saturday night.".
