Page 8 July 3, 2014 F or the Fourth of July I wanted to give you an All-American recipe. When I started thinking about what is really American food it wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be. There are very few real American food items. Because we all really came from other countries, the American kitchen is a blend of the world. But one thing we found here was corn! This was the real American food. From the kernel to the cob it was used for everything; from tea using the threads, the husks for wrapping and steaming foods, to the cob for pipes and liquor. The kernels have been ground for breads, dried and then popped or soak to make hominy. This is the American food. Here is a great way to have some corn as an appetizer or side dish this summer. The Chef Bacon Wrapped Corn On A Stick Ingredients: 6 ears of corn, cleaned and cut into 5 to 6 inch pieces About 20 pieces of thick bacon cut in half 20 6-inch bamboo sticks Directions: • Take a piece of corn and wrap it in a half piece of bacon and secure it with the bamboo stick. • Repeat • Bake at 350˚ for 15 to 20 minutes or till bacon is nice and brown.
