Last week, I had gone to the market to buy some food. I went into one of the shops that I normally go to and was making my way around the small aisle way when I came upon the canned food shelf. I took a quick glance and something caught my eye, I immediatly thought, "Nah, it can't be". But indeed it was a can of Del Monte corn!!! Apparently straight out of San Francisco! Of course I bought it, although I haven't eaten it yet...not real sure when that will happen, but the fact of the matter is I can eat corn...sweet corn at that!
I do have a theory of how it got here, you wanna hear it? Of course you do. I think, that maybe, someone sent a volunteer a package with a bunch of goods in it and that package never made it to said volunteer. Instead, the contents of the box were sold and the can of Del Monte Sweet Corn found its way here, ironically into the hands of another volunteer. So, if this theory is correct, at least it found its way to another PCV. lol.
There is corn here, but I have only had one ear of corn that was sweet (sans butter). I'm not sure how that actually happened, but it was good. The rest of it seems like feed corn or something, it's not that good but on occasion when it has been grilled correctly.
I don't really have much else to say at the moment...kinda sad when the highlight of the last two weeks has been the purchase of a can of corn, lol.

I can understand your elation. The super markets here in Bamenda do have some canned foods. I was delighted to see Heinz Baked Beans.
Not sure about sweetcorn though.
That was my can of sweet corn. Hope you're enjoying it. Miss you much and can't wait till IST!
