Corn

Corn (also known as maize) was a large grain plant that was first cultivated by the indigenous peoples of Mesoamerica.^[1]

"Corn on the cob" was a term used to refer to an ear of freshly-picked corn that was cooked and served as food, with the corn kernels typically being eaten right off the cob.^[2] A platter full of corn on the cob was one of the dishes served at the Welcoming Feast at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1991.^[3]

Popcorn was a unique variety of corn which had hard kernels that swelled and burst open when heated.^[4] It was a popular snack food consumed by Muggles and wizards alike,^[4][5] usually being served with salt, butter, or other seasonings.^[4] "Buttered popcorn" was one of the many different flavours of Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans.^[6]
