In the U.S., corn means corn dogs at a fair—fried, greasy, dipped in mustard. Then I tried Mexican street corn (elote). Grilled, brushed with mayo, rolled in cotija cheese, dusted with chili powder—it was chaos on a cob. Messy, salty, tangy, spicy. My hands were a disaster, but my taste buds were dancing. It hit me: why did we settle for boring fair food, when just south of the border, corn is celebrated like a festival? Sometimes the street beats the fairground. #Elote #MexicanFood #StreetEats
