I don't know if this is true now or not, but long long ago, when I studied French in high school, I was told that corn on the cob wasn't served because it was considered "horse food". Is this or was it ever true in Spain?

maíz en la mazorca = corn on the cob
la mazorca = cob but that can be empty cob ? y mazorca de maíz = cob of corn, i guess that would mean corn on the cob, too.
interesting aside > mi old diccionario says "comer maíz" = "to accept bribes" how 'bout that!
