As I recall (and I could be wrong), the fried corn in question is
fried inasmuch as it is cooked in a frying pan. It's kind of stewed
with milk and butter, a little like creamed corn, except it cooks
down a ways and is less runny, and has a very rich, concentrated corn
flavor. I understood it to be more of an Applachian thing, rather
than strictly Southern.
