Ever try these? "baby corn"

I hadn't ever seen them until yesterday, when my Meals On Wheels lunch had a chicken dish in it, with them in it.
They're great!

I hope to have them again sometime.

The Adorable Mystery Of Where Baby Corn Comes From Is Officially Solved

And unlike baby carrots, these miniatures really deserve their name.

Ever since we uncovered the startling truth about baby carrots, we’ve been brimming with questions about our favorite fruits and vegetables — and we’re on a crusade to find answers.

Next up, the miniature version of a summer cookout staple: baby corn.

1. My oldest was puzzled by them

and had forgotten what we called them (baby corn) so being the ever precocious child he asked us at dinner one night, "Where do you get amateur corn?" Of course he meant immature but that made it even funnier. I think he was 3, about the age that those funny mix-ups seem to happen.

5. Thank you for making me laugh!

One time I made applesauce and apparently put too much cinnamon in it. My then 3 year old asked me "What is this?", pushing it around his plate like it was plague ridden. "Applesauce" I said. "Looks like apple poop" was his response.

10. Apple poop.

Out of the mouths of babes. I think that is such a riot, thank you for sharing that. They do leave us with things we will never forget. We all have so many. When I give my goats little animal crackers to entice them where I want them I always call the animals by the names my kids called them. It seems so odd but then again it feels so good! Apple poop, that is a good one!

3. Chinese restaurants around here serve them up...

mixed in with the other nameless stuff. I love 'em although I run into a few people who are freaked out by them. Mostly women, for some reason I don't understand.

I have a few cans lying around that I toss into soups and stirfry's here and there.

6. I always have to pick them out of my chow mein

They just don't fit in there. I like my corn on the cob and large.

7. I love corn on the cob - but baby corn

just tastes funny to me. Maybe it's canned?

8. Too small to have created much sugar

and mostly cob.
