Answers: Several yeas back I visited Mexico City with some friends of mine and several street vendors were selling a corn snack in Styrofoam cups. I think it was basic corn (off the cob) with cilantro, some lime juice, and maybe cayenne pepper. Does anyone know what I am talking about? Can you provide me with a resource for the recipe - it was delicious!

I don't know the correct name for it, but I have eaten it several times. It is fresh roasted corn (off the cob) in a cup. There are a variety of things you can put on it - but mostly it is mayonesa (mexican mayonaisse that is lime flavored, mccormick makes this), lime juice and a pepper similar to cayenne , but different. You can find it at an international grocery store in the mexican section - it is usually eaten on fresh fruit.

I can only think of one thing for it..corn salsa! There are numerous recipes on the 'net with corn, cilantro, lime juice and jalapenos

This recipe is actually much better with corn that's been grilled and then sliced off of the cob, but if that's not practical for you, just remember to thaw the frozen corn in a colander..ENJOY!
