"Corn Kernels with Butter and Cheese"

Corn, also known as “Maize or Maiz”, is a tall cereal grass bearing kernels on large ears, it has many varieties; the principal cereal in Mexico and Central and South America since pre-Columbian times. By perhaps 5000 B.C., the indigenous peoples of southern Mexico first domesticated a wild variety of corn. The earliest corn plants bore only a few kernels on each stalk. By selectively breeding these plants over thousands of years, Native Americans developed a variety of types of domesticated corn which bore large cobs holding hundreds of kernels.
