18. One thing I like with corn, though taken off the cob, is a recipe which unfortunately I do not have,

a relative of mine has made it a few times but I never asked for the exact recipe, and a quick google leads to a couple of recipes and I'm not sure which one it is...

but in any case the basic premise is the point, and the essentials of what I remember are: grilled corn cut off the cob (but if you cannot bbq/grill then maybe oven roast? dry heat in any case, there is a texture aspect which is different than boiled/steamed corn), fresh/raw corn cut off the cob, shallots, chiles, lime juice, queso fresco, and some unknown minor additional herbs/spices. The thing which really caught my attention were the two different corn tastes/textures plus the shallots and lime. The other bits are fiddling around the edges and could be adjusted to taste in any case.
