Inspired, somehow, by the delicious tamales I’m having for dinner.
I’m sure there are some ethanol and syrup fans out there, no?

I just finished some delicious 100-calorie Jiffy Pop kettle corn popcorn. Mmmm.
Ooooh, I came in here to say “tortillas,” but the mention of tamales makes me waver. Guess I’ll stick to tortillas because you can do so much with them, but tamales… ::swoons::
Corn Chex. Can’t get along without it.
Bourbon.
Corn-related?
I want corn itself!
Real, fresh sweet corn, from one of our fields, picked in the afternoon and cooked & served for supper that same day. With butter, salt & pepper on it.
Dang – now I’m really hungry for that, and it’s 5 or 6 months until it’s available.
Fritos. Definitely my favorite corn item.
and Kettle corn. that and Fritos.
And Bourbon. Of course bourbon. and Fritos. And Kettle corn.
I’m suddenly very hungry. And thirsty, that too.
Grits…no… popcorn…no…sweet corn…ummm…bourbon…::sip:: yeah, bourbon
I’m goin’ with corn starch. In thickening sauces, for drying and lubricating babies’ butts, and as a raw material for packaging foam and inflatable bags, it’s wonderful. Add the marvelously weird viscosity characteristics of corn starch suspensions, and you’ve got one of the world’s wonders.
Tortilla chips.
Seriously, salsa would be nothing, NOTHING without them.
And let’s not forget about nachos.
Nachos, people!
No, I’m not Rickrolling you.
I hope someone gets the reference I am making, though.
Cornbread. 'Nuff said.
I concur!
But not the sweet cornbread, the buttermilk inspired, light, oh-so-moist cornbread with room temperature butter melting all down through it.
Come on, isn’t your mouth watering?
Lemon pie. You may ask what do I mean? The pie filling is thickened corn starch, with egg yolk and lemon juice. I can’t get enough lemon pie.
Oh, you just had to bring that up a half hour before I go grocery shopping, didn’t you? Purgatory Man will know who to blame for all the junk food I buy now.
Every year our neighbors bring over a couple dozen ears of fresh sweet corn and then tell us which field they’ve planted it in this year and tell us to help ourselves. There’s nothing as delicious as same-day sweet corn roasted in its husks, dripping with butter.
Other than that, hot cornbread with honey butter like they used to serve at Professor Munchies’ in Minneapolis back in the 80’s gets my vote.
Cornbread. And corn muffins.
The only cornbread I have ever had was the stuff from the el cheapo chain Boston Market. It was fantastic like a bread morphed into a cake. My son and I used to go once a fortnight for the cornbread really. Boston Market went broke and I have never had cornbread again.
There is no need to tell me that the Boston Market cornbread was ersatz cornbread. We realized it was some lowest common denominator variant but by golly it was good.
This is almost word-for-word what I thought on reading the OP, so I thought it best to see if anybody else felt the same. I have yet to read other replies, so I may be repeating.
After the real thing itself, and not in this particular order, I like:
Fritos originals
Tacos
Hominy
Grits
Popcorn
Karo syrup – the clear version
Niblets – has to be Niblets for canned corn
There are others, for sure, and I may have to ditto somebody else’s post before this one is the last in the stack.
Cornbread, yes.
Made with white cornmeal and buttermilk, poured into spitting-hot shortening (or bacon drippings, even better) in the black iron skillet. Crispy on the bottom, moist and tasty inside.
It’s the food of the gods.
Popcorn and tortilla chips! And corn syrup all over my pancakes and waffles. And corn on the cob. And why are you doing this to me when I’m on a diet?
