I believe I've read that everyone excretes this asparagus chemical but not everyone can smell it! Strange. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

jofo80 Â Â 10 #18 Posted April 9, 2007 As far as I am aware no. We tend to use sweetcorn more in the UK. Especially if it refers to the processed frozen or tinned variety. Corn on the cob we call corn on the cob, not sweetcorn on the cob. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

nick2 Â Â 10 #20 Posted April 9, 2007 Corn and maize are the same thing aren't they? Â I don't know, you can buy maize flour, I can't see how you would make flour out of sweetcorn ? Maize is not yellow either, I think it's brown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I've just never heard of corn being called that.  What you call corn we call sweetcorn, corn on the cob, or in its flour form mealie.  What you call wheat, we call corn.  As they say, the English and the Americans are one people, divided by a common language.
