Whether or not maize was used in period there is a beautiful italian
painting
called "Summer" by Guiseppe Arcimboldo, c. 1573. It is a "man" made
entirely
of fruits and vegetables . . .
Are there similar representations from other artists in other
countries? I am looking at a postcard. It doesn't tell us if they were
eaten
or how, but it does show that things were familiar in a certain place at
a
certain time.

I've always thought that picture was neat-o! I have seen similar
pictures of flowers, ie, a vase full of every sort of flower for the
season. If you know where I can get another of those postcards, tell me,
'cause I would love to have one.
