Romanians and corn on the cob

[onodera]

Romanians love corn in all forms. It's like Hungarians and paprika or Muricans and bacon.

unRomanian!

Aromanian!

Such a chic way to say vlachoi (after a google search)



Where is my corn!

[Sir Og]

Are they cooked?

Yes. They are boiled. Now I am thinking of roasting them on a grill with some butter. I need to reheat them anyway. They won't taste good if cold out of the fridge.

Depends. How do you feel about paste?

Not sure what sort of paste.

[N35t0r]

Boiled, they should last at least a week in the fridge.

Just reaheat in microwave, and apply judicious amounts of butter and salt.

[Bereta_Eder]

roasting on the grill with lots of butter would be great. then add plenty of salt
(but I don't know if this would work if you have already boiled them)

Not sure what sort of paste.

If they're cooked, or at least parboiled, they should keep for a little while, but it's better to freeze. I would try to get to them today if possible.

If they're uncooked and not frozen, it's already too late, as the corn has been very busy converting all of it's sugars into starches -- hence the paste comment.

[The Mad Monk]

Also, if they are absolutely fresh, any topping at all should be criminal.

I think it's neat how none of the three foods you mentioned is native to the country which loves it (I think--paprika is a pepper, right?).

[N35t0r]

Yeah, dried peppers AFAIK.

You can add Belarus/Ireland and potatoes to the list.

[N35t0r]

Italy and pasta.

I like this Byelorussian Jubilee (?) bread I buy in the Lithuanian deli- it has potato flour in it. And my parents were Irish. Must be genetic.

[Bosh]

Plenty of steamed corn on the cob in Korea but it's not sweet corn so

From a southern land with long white clouds :

Kānga (corn and maize)

Corn and maize grew easily and Māori soon applied their traditional cooking and preservation methods to them, producing dishes such as kānga pirau (fermented corn). It looked like porridge and had a very strong aroma.

Kānga pungarehu was a dish of corn kernels mixed with pungarehu (cleaned ash from the fire) and boiled until the husks came away. The swollen kernels were then eaten with sugar and cream or milk, like porridge. A more modern version uses baking soda in place of the pungarehu.

Kānga waru was a grated corn dish mixed with mashed kūmara or sugar and wrapped in corn husks then either boiled or cooked in a hāngī. It is a sweet, dessert-like dish.
