dorm dining experience #1

Does anyone remember this scene from "Big"? Ok well do you remember some of the stuff that he eats at that party? Ok well do you happen to remember the tiny little baby ears of corn that he eats? What in the frick are those called?

The reason that I ask is because last night I had a terrible dining experience. When I determined that my dining hall chicken breast, half-soft, half-rock hard dinner roll, and two pieces of giant broccoli wouldn't be enough to sustain me for the rest of the night, I decided to go for the salad. I was pleased to find out that there were loads of toppings, including vegetables, croutons, raisins, every kind of dressing, and even cubed ham. I was especially pleased to see little teeny, edible cobs of corn, a la Tom Hanks in "Big", so I did what any corn/"Big" lover would do and piled them on top of my salad. Since I was so hungry, I didn't even wait until I sat down to pop one in my mouth. But the second I did...my good sweet baby jesus was I regretful because it tasted TERRIBLE. There was a distinct flavor I could not for the life of me place.

But then, as I sat down and gave another mini cob the ol' college try, it hit me. I knew what the taste was. Horses. The mini corn tasted exactly, 100 percent, no doubt about it, like a solid-hoofed herbivorous quadruped of the horse-like origin. To figure out what this corn tasted like, picture a horse. Then picture smelling what the horse and it's surroundings smell like. Then picture converting that exact smell into a flavor. Then picture tasting that flavor. There you go. You can now envision the exact experience I went through.

And now you can take heed next time you gingerly pop one of these bad boys into your mouth. Just say no! Say no to horse-tasting mini devil cobs!
