Shoepeg corn is a cultivar of white sweetcorn valued for its sweetness. It is characterized by small, narrow kernels tightly and unevenly packed on the cob. The corn has a sweet, mild flavor. The most common variety of shoepeg corn available today is ''Country Gentleman.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Country Gentleman Corn Conventional & Organic )〕'' Shoepeg corn is popular in some regions of the United States, particularly in the South. An early promoter of canned shoepeg corn was Malcolm Mitchell of Maryland — his ''Mitchell's Shoepeg Sweet Corn'' is a brand still available today,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Mitchell's Corn - Shoepeg Whole Kernel White Sweet )〕 although its original center of production was turned into the Aberdeen Proving Ground soon after the U.S. declared war on the Central Powers in April 1917. The name "shoepeg corn" derives from a shoemaking term used during the 19th century.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Encyclopaedia Britannica, 10th Edition (1902) - Shoemaking )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 shoe-peg - Definitions )〕 Shoepeg corn kernels resemble the wooden pegs used to attach soles to the upper part of shoes. Shoepeg corn is a common ingredient in salads and corn dishes throughout the Southern United States, but is relatively unknown in other areas of the country. It is on rare occasions available fresh in some areas, but it is most often canned. Shoepeg corn is also the best variety of corn for Kokanee salmon bait.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Kokanee )〕 ==References== Notes 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shoepeg corn」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
