Poll question: How old were you when you first saw corn?
How cornverted is DU anyways?

I was about 8 when I remember my first experience with corn.
It was usually accompanied with fried chicken.

What about you?

:D

5. I'm from Indiana too-
How old were you when you saw Korn?

I had to ask!

Must share this one. My grandmother used to say, "Oh my goodness, nothing but corn all around us, isn't it a beautiful sight!" Of course, she lived through the Depression, so it probably was.

7. Iowa farm kid here.
Corn and soybeans are all you see in parts of this state. My earliest memories are from about 3 years of age.

8. I saw corn at an early age. I was shocked at first.
And very confused, then slowly I got used to the idea and even learned to enjoy it. Now I see corn as often as possible and I'm planning a trip to Nebraska.

10. Too early.
I have to admit, I found it kind of upsetting. All those niblets, jammed together on those long, fat cobs.

12. I'm having to deal with corn again tonight. It seems to be everywhere.
I'm barbequing chicken and I have to look at all that corn on the cob whilst I eat the chicken. Never mind the salad, shall I indulge? After all, corn is addictive, isn't it?

:silly:
