Food Trip 90 - Nilagang Mais

During the summer season, mais is abundant in the Philippines.

I've been oriented that the best tasting mais is a freshly picked one.  Right after harvesting mais, you better cook it right away in order for you to enjoy its sweetest taste.  Mais will slowly lost its taste after a day or two.  What more if it will last for several days unattended?

I have been buying nilagang mais when my appetite calls for it.  In the city, one cannot really tell if he is buying a newly picked nilagang mais or it has already aged for several days before it is cooked.  And the proof can only be determined upon eating.  If one is particular how a newly picked mais tastes like, then, no amount of salt and margarine can ever replace its original taste.
