You betcha.  My mother, a WWII war refugee, remembers how everyone was
rather taken aback at the corn (maize) in their Marshall Plan rations
(circa 1946 - 1948 CE or so, I think.)  She says that they had never seen
it before, and that everyone ate it, of course, but they had to *learn* to
enjoy it!  :-)  Come to think of it, it probably was canned corn.  Yuk.

Still, I wonder how often you'll see corn (maize) on a menu or served in
someone's home in Europe even these days.  Is it even available over there
in your average grocery store?
