“Your grandparents were American not Spaniards nor in Spain.”
That’s an assumption, albeit a correct one (they were of English descent). Do you feel that Spanish people digest corn differently from other nationalities, or is it just that their opinion of it is different?
No I do not think they digest differently. I think corn was not introduced as a normal side dish there at that time. Personally, I’ve never had it in all my returns. But, I’m sure they introduced food grade corn decades ago. I’m assuming at that point (originally referred to) it was only used as farm grade hence why she didn’t want it.
