[Sca-cooks] OT - Canned White Shoepeg Corn

[Stefan li Rous]

Jane Boyko asked about sources for shoepeg corn.

I never realized it was anything out of the ordinary. But then those  
up in Maple syrup country might feel the same about that.

Daniel said:
<<< I seem to recall it being available frozen. >>>

But that would be more difficult for one of us to ship it to her,  
which is an option. Unfortunately shipping cans and the water they  
contain doesn't sound great, either. I'd be willing to do it from  
here in Texas, though.

I did find this with a websearch, and their shipping might be less  
than I can get from USPS.
http://www.shopfoodex.com  says they ship nationally, but that may or  
may not include Canada.

Green Giant White Shoepeg Corn (11 oz.) $ 1.36

 From a blog message:
Shoepeg corn is white, sweet, corn with *very* small kernels. I buy  
it in
cans. The only brand I have ever seen is Mitchell's (from Hanover Foods
Corporation, Hanover, Pennsylvania)

 From another web page:
The most challenging part of this recipe is finding the Shoepeg corn  
- not all grocery stores carry it. I DO NOT suggest substituting  
regular yellow kernel corn, we've tried that and it definitely  
doesn't taste the same!

kosher.com also seems to have it:
White Shoepeg Corn
Item #020000105468
Brand Green Giant
Price $1.59
Weight 11 oz.

I couldn't find dried/dehydrated Shoepeg Corn, which would help solve  
the shipping problem.

There seem to be a lot more recipes calling for Shoepeg Corn on the  
web than there appear to be sources for it there, unfortunately.
