12. Golden Bantam is a classic yellow sweet corn that has been around since the early 1900's

Good chance this would satisfy your corn craving. I know what you mean... I grew up with this Open Pollinated Su standard and I still love it for its corny taste and feel.

A slightly "newer" corn like Golden Cross Bantam might do as well and it is a hybrid (I'm pretty sure) from maybe 1940??

The standard corn does not hold its sweetness well so you probably won't find this at a groc store...

I hope you get a chance to grow some sweet corn and relive those days!

Cheers,

Cuban Corn - mmmmmmmmmmmm
•shuck the corn and grill it, rotating it to lightly brown it all around
•spread mayonaise on the corn with a knife (or use some sort of mayo substitute if mayo scares ya)
•sprinkle the corn all around with red hot pepper chili powder
•sprinkle the corn all around with grated parmesan cheese (or some other hard cubanish type cheese that I can't find)
•drizzle a little lime juice over top and dig in!!!

(cuz I am insane I like to mix some crushed garlic into the mayo before spreading it)
this works great with corn that might have lost some of its sweetness
