I will certainly agree that such tales are an exaggeration.  But it
cannot be denied that the fresher the corn is, the better it tastes --
unless you happen to like your corn starchy.  If you choose your corn in
the store carefully, it can be very good -- sweet and crunchy.  If you
just grab and if the store has not treated it right, it will be starchy
and have less flavor.  One immediate clue of good treatment is when the
corn feels cool to the touch.  One immediate indication that the store
is clueless is when they put the corn into a big bin outside the store
front in full view of the sun.


MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05
 
      Title: MANGO MILK SHAKE
 Categories: Drinks, Indian, Fruit, Usenet
      Yield: 6 servings
 
      1 lb Mango pulp (see note)
      6 c  Milk, whole
      3 T  Sugar
     12    Ice cubes
 
  Put into a blender about half (to one third) of the mango pulp, about
  3 cups milk, about 1 1/2 T sugar and 6 ice cubes into the blender.
  Blend until smooth. Serve. Repeat quickly, as people will already be
  asking for more.
  
  NOTES:
  
  *  A refreshing Indian summer drink -- This is a delicious,
  refreshing and easy-to-make drink for hot summer days.  Yield:  6
  12-oz drinks.
  
  *  Canned mango pulp is available in Indian and Latin American grocery
  stores. The "mango nectar" that is widely available in American
  grocery stores does not have nearly enough mangoes per unit volume to
  make this drink.  If you are lucky enough to be able to get fresh
  mangoes, you can use the flesh of one ripe mango for about 1 cup of
  the mango pulp; if you do that, increase the amount of sugar to about
  2 tablespoon per batch, as canned mango pulp always has added sugar.
  
  *  You can make interesting variations on this recipe by using plain
  yogurt for some or all of the milk, and by adding a tart
  counterbalance to the mangoes, such as shredded kiwi fruit.
