corn yogurt

I’m not sure if I have mentioned this yet, but the Chinese REALLY like corn.  Corn on the cob is a common street food, which makes sense and I wouldn’t mind if that trend caught on in the US.  Then I started seeing corn juice… a little weird I thought, but hey, they probably have an abundance of the stuff here and are just making the most of it.  And then one day about a month ago I saw corn yogurt.  Now, I like corn and I eat yogurt daily, but the combination of the two seemed a bit repulsive to me.  Still, I vowed I would try it before I left.  So earlier this week I was at the supermarket, more because I needed to break a 100RMB note then because I needed groceries, and I bought a container of the stuff.

I didn’t know whether there would be actual pieces of corn or not, but there were.  First thing I noticed was how bad it smelled.  But I managed to get it close enough to my mouth to try it.  And surprisingly that wasn’t my only bite.  I got in about a dozen more tiny ones before I couldn’t take it anymore and threw it out.  So in conclusion, not terrible but by no means do I recommend it.

My roommate takes the cake though (cliche intentional).  Yesterday she went to a restaurant nearby that she frequents and ordered a piece of chocolate cake.  Even though she has had it there before, they tossed in a new surprise twist this time… catsup.  Yup, instead of decorating the plate with chocolate sauce as they normally do, they used catsup.  Eeww!
