Dent corn vs. sweet corn. One of these is good for animals, while the other is great with butter.

Both are fine. I resent the idea that one of them is simply animal feed.

If you don't know what you're doing, it's easy to luck into tasty sweet corn. If you don't (read: Europeans, historically) you're likely to give your peasants pellagra.

As a taco/tamale/posole/hominy fan, I agree with you and am ashamed of my insinuation. I'll strive to do better.
