Huitlacoche is so flamboyantly disgusting-looking and repellant as a concept (you specifically eat a fungus which deforms and near-explodes the corn kernel? great stuff mr aztec. what's it going to do to your insides then?) .... that it's a bit of a disappointment to actually eat it. Just tastes like any other rather bland mushroom in my experience.

Sweetcorn, on the other hand, is never not nice (except with mango and halloumi which I agree is a tri-continental food pileup too far.) on or off the cob, frozen, fresh, boiled, roasted, popped, made into tortillas, in salsa, in cornbread, in any stew or soup, I don't care. Sweetcorn is sweet.

(btw does it qualify as one of the mythical 5 a day in the UK? if so how? if i were a potato i'd feel discriminated against.)

I like sweetcorn on the cob, but not off the cob. Though I'm coming round to it off the cob, I can't eat more than a few niblets in salad at a time and definitely not a peas-sized pile on a plate as an accompaniment to a main dish.
I'm a little further along than this ^ still not a massive pile like with peas, but happy with it mixed into things.
 
I always enjoyed chicken & sweetcorn soup from the Chinese.

I also like corn on the cob on a BBQ with plenty of hot pepper sauce.

Actually I forgot about that. I do like the think glutinous crab and sweetcorn soup from a Chinese, but never order it.

I don't mind corn on the cob but never really fancy it or order it or cook it.
I don't like other forms of sweetcorn (aside from the aforementioned) but can eat it to be polite of it is put in front of me.

Funnily enough coz I live with Badgers I haven't had it for years :D
