Today is Maize Day!
Anyone who’s ever eaten corn on the cob with fresh creamy butter and a pinch of salt knows that corn more than deserves its own holiday
Maize Day is celebrated every year to mark the special role that maize has played in food history.
Maize, which the Europeans came to call “corn”, has an ancient and interesting history and plays central roles in many native myths and legends.
And anyone who’s ever eaten corn on the cob with fresh creamy butter and a pinch of salt knows that corn more than deserves its own holiday, which is today (November 23)!
It’s also one of the staples in South Africa.
Of course, the best way to celebrate Maize Day is by gathering with friends and family to eat a special meal made from different types of maize, in different forms and added to all different types of dishes.
The possibilities are almost infinite!
