Mexican street corn is a phrase that, recently, just blows my mind. Since I was a child I remember corn being grown on soil (dirt) on a farm and not on the street. Marketing strategy? Maybe! The world more recently seems to have gone crazy because of politics, politicians, and globalism, which isn't the same thing as globalization. Of course, we were talking about food, I believe. But don't ignore my abrupt interjection, please.
Mexican food isn't like Cuban food, but these days some politicians call both Mexicans and Cubans "Latinos," although culturally they're both very different. The only similarities are that they both speak Spanish, even though they're both different versions of Spanish. Cuban food and Mexican food are different; however, I enjoy both. Bottomline: don't call me a latino. That word is being used improperly and erroneously in the United States. Because of politics and politicians! I am actually Cuban with Galician and Asturian ancestry. I am also about 2 percent Basque, about 2 percent Swedish, about 2 percent French, and I do have about 4% North African. I will stop here, but I hope you understand. By the way, I hope you do some research and find out where Irish Celts came from, originally.Note: the United States is around 250 years old, which isn't much compared to Europe and many other places like Japan.
Just in case, I know Mexican street corn isn't corn that grows on the street. Basically, it's Elote that's prepared a certain way and sold on the street...lol. Just in case!
