It’s exactly like corn, but different

I’m never been much of a county fair food eater. I’ve never really liked funnel cake (… I know, I know … I’m unamerican) and I haven’t really tried anything else. (I’m not usually hungry when I go to the fair).
But the other day, at Portales’ Heritage Days, I tried roasted corn for the first time.
OMG!
I LOVED it! It’s corn, roasted in the husk, buttered and seasoned to your taste. My particular taste on that day was black pepper and garlic seasoning.
It took me only about 10 minutes to scarf it down, and get another one.
I can’t wait until the Roosevelt County fair this summer to introduce my new favorite fair food to my six-year-old daughter.
Note to fair vendors, bring lots of roasted corn.

I like mine with chili powder.
Some people do chili powder and mayo.
And, if you like it that much, they have the roasted corn vendors here in clovis on Prince Street, either in the parking lot of Family Dollar and/or the parking lot of the old Prince Lounge. I also love roasted corn, I like mine with lots of butter and garlic.
