My grandfather was a farmer, so we always had all the sweet corn we
could eat. I don't think you would enjoy eating it the way you
described (freshly picked but uncooked and eaten while standing in the
corn field). That did bring more memories back. When I was quite
small, I would run and play in my grandfather's corn field. The corn
stalks would be much higher than my head and I would pretend that I was
lost. Many farmers would not permit children to play in their corn
fields, but my grandfather did not object. If you have seen the movie
"North by Northwest," there is a scene in it that made me think of when
I played in the corn field.
