Fried Corn
Fried corn is exactly that: it is corn removed from the cob (or substitute frozen corn if fresh isn't available) that is fried in a skillet along with flour and seasonings and fat (often bacon grease). Some recipes call for other vegetables or cream for a saucier mixture. This is a Southern U.S. favorite but of course can be enjoyed by anyone!

This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
