Hey SF_BHT question for you... When in Ecuador there was a very common corn dish that was served.... not corn as in yellow corn, but it was white, like popcorn... but cooked. I thought it to be kinda bland.
Don't remember hearing it referred to as anythign but "chocolo". Was a real staple for the the soldados.

sorry for the minor hijack, but it just popped into my head while typing about potato salad.

You are right. Down here they eat a white large kernel corn that is very bland. It does make great tamales. You can get some yellow sweet corn on the coast but it is not very plentiful. The white corn was the staple of the Incas and they are slow to change.
Yuca, corn, rice and potato's are still the staples.
