Newest weird food: red corn
Props to Retired in Elkridge for trying out this item in the weird food category.
Normally I wouldn't put any produce in the weird food category because at least it's real food. But the color of this corn freaks me out. Here's what he had to say:
I found something at Harris Teeter in Columbia that I hadn't seen before: Red Sweet Corn (photo enclosed). Not the dried stuff you see for Harvest decorations, but real corn on the cob. It was obviously not fresh, having come all the way from California, but still had a goodly amount of sweetness, both on the cob, as I ate it (with butter and salt), and sliced off the cob, as my DW ate it (with melted butter poured over). Don't know that I would make a habit of it at $3.99 for the four ears, but I just had to try it.

Thanks for solving the mystery of Taco Bell's new Volcano Taco.

So, you could do a red, blue and white corn salad for the Icelandic national day, right?

Lissa, you could do red, white, and blue corn for Independence Day. Put on the tricorn without looking like a re-enactor.

Horray for Retired in Elkridge -- a kindred spirit! Anyone who will spend a couple of extra bucks to try something new and unusual is my kind of guy.

Holy moley RIE, just in time for Halloween--blood-red corn. I love corn, but not sure I could handle those red ears--yikes!
