What is this thing about tuna and (sweet) corn?
I'd never heard of it, either here in Canada or in the UK as of 4 years ago, but this past autumn when touring about GB, ran into the combination in just about every place one would buy sandwiches or filled rolls.
(Which leads me to lament the absence in Canada of anything even vaguely resembling the quality and variety of sandwiches, filled rolls and so on available on just about any corner of any high street or any motorway stop.)

And chicken and sweetcorn sandwiches, and prepacked salad* and sweetcorn, and haddock with cheese sauce and sweetcorn....
The first person character in the The Curious Incident of the Dog has opinions about the stuff.
*I initially scoffed at prepacked, but being only me, I got fed up with squelchy cucumber, as I simply couldn't eat it fast enough to defeat the ripening process, and the packages bypass that. In season I have my own short ridge ones from the garden.

This isn't quite up to the disgust-provoking level of some previous suggestions, but I rather like marmalade and lettuce sandwiches. Surprisingly good.

Tuna mayonnaise with corn, some lettuce and a generous drench of lemon juice, in a wrap, is good.

Not sure what the difference between sweetcorn and corn is.
I tend to agree that we Canadians get saddled with Timmys and subs. Might as well have a doughnut.

The kind of maize you make cornmeal out of is not sweetcorn. Neither is popcorn. Sweetcorn is the stuff you can eat whole grains of. (You can eat whole grains of harder varieties but you would have to boil them for many hours)

Tuna mayonnaise and sweetcorn has been a staple of London sandwich shops since at least 25 years ago when I started living here. Really common. Almost a cliche.

I love corn -- could easily subsist indefinitely on nothing else but. I can take tuna or leave it. I never tried corn in tuna, however -- sounds interesting. I think I'd like it, and will try it some time in a sandwich.

I've been eating tuna and sweetcorn mixture for as long as I can remember, too. Not just as a sandwich filling but as a salad and/or baked potato stuffing. If you google tuna and sweetcorn it is recommended as a pasta salad mixture to eat with barbecues. I find it a bit sweet and bland and quite often add capers to that mix to sharpen it up, or substitute avocado pear for mayonnaise.
I do remember a version my sister made that was boiled rice, canned tuna, canned sweetcorn and nothing else. That did need something creamy to make it more palatable. And that was over 25 years ago.
Another one here recognising most of these mixtures rather than wincing at them.

There isn't one really. I'm not sure where the "sweet" preface came from as I've always known it as just "corn", though it seems to be how it's referred to in England.

Corn in England is/was a synonym for wheat and other grains, generally. I know being sent to feed corn to the hens as a child, that if there was maize in that mix it was only a tiny amount, it was mainly wheat and other grass-type grains. Sweetcorn is specifically maize.
However, cornflour is maize flour.

It was described by the person who tried it as 'an experience'. (I just had the plain maple one, which has supplied my sugar rush requirement for the next fortnight).
Candied bacon? Saw that on Man V Food once.. It's aired on Dave over here.

No, there is a difference. Sweetcorn is just one of many types of maize grown commercially. Its the only one that is easy to eat "on the cob" or as whole grains. The other main ones are dent corn and flint corn. Popcorn is a variety of flintcorn.
Most of the North American maize crop is dent. What isn't is mostly flint. (Especially in Mexico). Less than 1% is sweetcorn.

This is pretty much the only kind of corn I have ever seen in a grocery store in my entire life, unless you count the four or five times I wandered into a Mexican produce stand looking for blue corn, or something. Or when Safeway get a wild hair and offers a special on white corn, which is just a pale variety of sweet corn. I looked at the pic of "dent corn" and I don't remember ever seeing anything like it, at least not in unmilled form, and definitely not at a common supermarket, restaurant, or served at anyone's house for dinner.
If some statistic you ran across lists a high use of "dent corn," my bet is that it is used in corn oil, corn syrup, and livestock feed.
(after poking around) Yep, I was right-- dent corn is the biggest crop in the Midwest, but the bulk of it goes to livestock and ethanol. As you can see from the article, the stuff that actually winds up on our table is sweet corn.

Yep. Animal food, cornmeal, industrial use. From the farmer"s point of view sweetcorn is marginal. Trust me, I'm a botanist. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
In some other countries cornmeal is a staple, and there are a few places where dent corns are eaten whole, but you have to boil it for hours.
When I lived in Kenya the main local food was maize and beans called githeri. They soaked kidney beans overnight, then put them in a pot with maize at breakfast time and left it cooking all day, adding other vegetables as available - onions, tomatoes, green leaves - and ate in the evening afte 8-12 hours cooking. Tastes nice when cooked well. I never got the hang of it.
The other main local food was irio, basically mashed potato and beans and veg, often with sweet potatoes or other roots or banana. The Kikuyu version of the Lord's Prayer literally translates "Give us this day our daily mashed potato".

Pretty much, Alex. Dad said they really weren't too bad, just bland and hard. Dog biscuits probably had less additives, etc.. in them them as well.

I used to work with someone who was evacuated to a farm in the country during WW2.
He was a strapping 12 year old and used to top up his diet with the ‘horse nuts’ in the barn – he said they were ok and kept him full and healthy

I might try that - I only found cheese and Marmite at a school party where a child had brought them and no-one wanted to share, so I ate one or two with enthusiastic faces, and hawked them successfully round the room. They were good, but would be even better with those additions.

My late father-in-law would have agreed with you - he hated sweetcorn with a passion and referred to it as bird-seed. The day after he died, my sister-in-law suggested it as a veggie accompaniment to whatever we were eating and my mother-in-law said "no - he didn't like it".
We acquiesced, as a mark of respect.

Brie or Camembert goes very nicely with red pepper jelly.
I suppose all the cheese/jam combinations are really just a variant of cheese and pickle, and no-one would bat an eyelid at that.

Some Bavarians once introduced me to cold pasta* sprinkled with cinnamon.
Quavers (cheese crisps) dipped in tomato ketchup are nice as well. Although there's no reason why they shouldn't be, given that the combination is basically equivalent a pizza margarita without the dough ...
* Cold as in 'cooked and allowed to go cold', not cold as in raw.

If it's the biscuits that turn you off, try it melted into unflavored gelatin.

Now that sounds deeply yummy. They're also very nice dipped in the ready-made soured-cream-and-chive dip you get in supermarkets.
Memo to self: get some sugar-snap peas.
I'm still not convinced about the toothpaste-on-a-cracker idea, even if the toothpaste is fennel-flavoured.

I was having a discussion at work the other day and someone mentioned that they couldn't stand the idea of fruit+meat in a single dish. There are obvious exceptions to this such as pork+apple, duck+orange or turkey+cranberry. Yet I might think twice about lamb+pear.
One of my favourite dishes to do if I'm in a hurry is a chicken+banana stir fry. The banana just melts and makes for a sweet, sticky sauce.
Are there any other meat+fruit combinations shipmates are fond of?
