Corn on the cob served at the Welcoming Feast in 1991
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]
