The Rural Voice, 1990-11, Page 39puddings comes from corn. All
canned foods are bathed in liquid con-
taining corn. Every carton, every
wrapping, every plastic container
depends on corn products — indeed
all modern paper and cardboard, with
the exception of newspaper and tissue,
is coated in com." Visser goes on to
expound the multiplicity of corn and
its products that are used to enhance
and maintain qualities in our consumer
goods that we have come to look for.
One tasty example is corn syrup that
provides "mouth feel" in sauces and
soups lacking body. It prevents cry-
stallization and discolouring; it makes
foods hold their shape, prevents
ingredients from separating, and sta-
bilizes moisture content which is ex-
tremely helpful in maintaining a long-
er shelf life. And that is not all. Corn
is an important element outside of the
supermarket, too. It is used either to
make things stick together, or not
stick. Textiles and leathers are cov-
ered in corn. When scientists look for
solutions to problems, they consider
the most abundant materials at hand
for use, be it for antibiotics, embalm-
ing fluids or spark -plug insulators.
See how easy it is to become
sidetracked when talking about food
stuffs? My first reaction when I
thought of writing about corn, was
which cornmeal recipe should I use? I
tried some cornmeal recipes involving
a spicy meat mixture topped with
Women Picking Corn, a Navejo water-
colour painting by Harrison Begay.
