more from that month
Maize: You like it roasted or boiled? Hello People! A very special greetings to you all, hope you had the best of the weekend? Mine went very well👌 The day started well, there was light all through the night which only signifies that they'll start moving around to cut light for people that are yet to pay their electricity bills. Till now, there's still light and that's unusual of the management of the electricity company at my region😄. Thank you sponsors Scrolling through my gallery this morning, I stumbled at some pictures of corn/maize I bought last month. Ever since I joined Hive, I became fond of snapping anything because it helps alot in making articles.
*[Hold on first, is there any difference between* ***corn*** *and* ***maize****? I think they're the same. I made some Google research and all the answers were beating around the same thing]* That night I craved maize badly because I hadn't had it the way I usually do whenever it's in its season. Whenever it's maize season I normally travel home to have a fair share of the season. My home town is a countryside where farming is one of the major occupations of the people. We have farms that we do mixed cropping and maize is one of them. Way back when I was still leaving in my home town, whenever there's maize season my dad would get mad at us at the rate we consume it, sometimes he'd give us a portion to harvest and we don't dare to extend or cross boundary... that's to tell you how dangerous we feast on maize Lol🤣.

Once we get to farm the first thing we do is to make fire, harvest some and boil them while we go to work. Coming back for break and meeting a cooked pot of maize is always heavenly. If you didn't experienced this kind of life,,,you missed🤗. ***Coming back to the evening I was craving for corn...*** The craving was so heavy that I went out to search for vendors on the street. I met one not quite far from my street, she was rounding up already and had few left. I first made enquiries to know the the day the corn was harvested and she assured me it was that day. *[If a corn has lasted 24hours from the period of its plucking, then the taste get reduced. You enjoy it more when it's fresh]* The price was high and I regretted not travelling home to enjoy free maize, I had no option than to buy. I bought the two remaining and left.
I got home and gave my brother one. I felt cheated when I had a bite of it and noticed that the taste had reduced...the lady lied to me just to sell her market😢. It wasn't tasty at all, it seems it was harvested three days ago. Well, I've bought it and there's nothing I could do, I have to enjoy my maize unless it'll turn to a waste. That's one of the disadvantages that discourages me from buying maize, it's rare to find a real fresh one on the street. ________________________ **How do you like it, BOILED or ROASTED?** I'm a big fan of roasted corn, it tastes more sweeter when it's roasted to when it's boiled. Although it becomes more soft to chew when it's boiled but I think the boiling washes off some of its taste. Also, the roasted one is for those that has strong teeth...**"matured meat for adult"** lol🤣. Tell me in the comment section, how do you prefer your corn, boiled or roasted? **Thanks for reading💝💝** `5thr August 2022`

Me friend I love both, the boiled and roasted but I mostly eat boiled my friend. Corn is my favorite. I'm sorry about what happened there are a lot of vendors who lie so that their sells can be sold friend. I was once a victim also.
Hahah🤣. I think almost everyone of us have fallen victim to this, all those vendors never say the truth because they want to sell off their products
Yes that's true my friend. They are not honest. They lie so that customers will buy.
>the lady lied to me just to sell her market😢. What do you expect? 😂😂😂😂😂 Will she tell you it's yesterday's own? She knows you won't buy it and it's her happiness to sell everything. Sellers are liars 😅😅😅 That was how I bought three days old bread and i couldn't eat it. I wasted #550 because it was big and I found small insects in the bread. I had to throw it away. I love boiled corn to roasted one. It's always sweet.
>Sellers are liars 😅😅😅 I want to analyze something; just imagine if God really want to judge us by our lies, then 98% of women won't make heaven because in one way or the other, almost all ladies engage in selling and ALL SELLERS ARE LIARS🤣. Roasted corn always here. But you know it's the sweetest, maybe you like the boiled because of its softness 🤣
😅😅😅😅 Men sef dey lie especially the sellers too 😜
Boiled corn anyday anytime. Some times I don't might chewing the cup too in order to extract the juice . Of course I do this when I'm alone in the room
Lol🤣🤣. I'm imagining the scenario right now. You're the first selecting boiled over roasted here. But the roasted is the sweetest 🙄
I prefer the roasted one over the boiled one. Of course anytime we are gifted raw maize and everyone wants a boiled one. I will set some aside for myself and roast them😂😂
You Sabi correct thing. The roasted one remains the sweetest👌
I liked it when it's roasted, especially when you add some margarine and sugar. It's perfect! 🙂
Oh my God! I'm salivating now 😋. The roasted is always the top-notch
Maize is one of my favorite snacks in the day. It contains lots of healthy ingredients and it's corn season nowadays here. I preferred roasted corn.
Yeah, it's very tasty and nutritional. It's good we are in same group of loving roasted corn to the boiled one
