Let’s talk about this amazing side dish!! So I used to live in Las Vegas for a bit and when I was first there, I had a friend tell me about how they ate corn with mayo on it then they put cheese and seasonings. I thought that possibly the worst thing you could do to corn since I am not a fan of mayo and I had only had it with butter and pepper before. About a year after that I was with another friend walking around and we saw a guy selling mangos and corn. We were starving and decided to go and try the corn. I ended up loving it! My husband loves it too and I will tell you about all the variations he likes down in the tips and tricks.
