creamed corn

Soupy yellow side

Creamed corn is a dish of corn kernels in a thick, milky sauce made from the starchy liquid released when corn is scraped from the cob.

It may be homemade or canned.

The texture is somewhere between a vegetable side dish and a porridge: Thanksgiving dinner always included creamed corn.
