It's like that here on the mainland with corn. I always used to think that the term "sweet corn" was just plain weird. I loved corn, but didn't think of it as sweet, not until I had fresh picked corn over at my grandmother's house on the east coast. It really was sweet -- super delicious, totally unlike the corn I had growing up in Hawaii and elsewhere in the pacific. Supposedly it's like papaya in that it tastes way different a half hour after you pick it.

I gotta start growing tomatoes again or something. That's another vegetable that tastes totally different home grown from the flavorless mush you get in supermarkets.
