When did sweet corn originate?

Sometime before 1779is when sweet corn originated.

Specifically, sweet corn (Zea mays convar. Sccharata var. rugosa) owes its origins to an internal, natural process by which sugar-to-starch conversion is controlled and high sugar contents are produced. It was a favorite food of the Iroquois, who called the sweetly mutated form of field corn papoon. It was integrated into their meals before European settlement even though its first recorded provision to settlers only dates back to 1779.

Does anyone have information on Lord Trevelyan's shipment of Indian corn?

There was a famine in Ireland during the 1940s. Lord Trevelyan was a member of Parliment in Britain and Britain ruled Ireland during that period. Trevelyan imported corn from India for the starving Irish because it was the cheapest corn available

The reference to "Trevelyan's Corn" in the Irish folk ballad, the 'Fields of Athenry' has a deep historical significance for many of us of Irish descent. The lyrics in the song depict the plight of our ancestors who suffered through the "Great Hunger" (Famine) in Ireland from 1845-1850. The reference to "Trevelyan's Corn" in the following lyrics is a politically charged reference rooted in rebellion more than common larceny.

"Michael they have taken you away

For you stole Trevelyan's corn

So the young might see the 'morn

Now a prison ship lies waiting in the Bay"

To understand the reference, one needs to listen to a subsequent verse in the ballad and also know a little bit about Irish History. The subsequent verse goes:

"Against the Famine and the Crown

I rebelled, they cut me down

Now you must raise our child with dignity"

Charles Trevelyan didn't own any specific cornfields in Ireland. He was Assistant Secretary in the British Treasury Office from 1840 to 1859, and he was in charge of "famine relief" during the Irish potato famine of 1845-1850. A philosophical disciple of Thomas Malthus, he believed that little should be done to "intervene" in the Irish potato famine. The historical record is littered with quotes from this disciple of Malthus that document the fact that his actions intentionally exacerbated the famine. At the time, Trevelyan stated that the famine was a "mechanism for reducing surplus population" in Ireland. He also stated that the Irish famine was "the judgment of God sent the calamity to teach the Irish a lesson." No wonder that in the Catholic Falls Road area of Belfast today, one can view a large mural depicting "Britain's Genocide" during the "Great Hunger."

While the famine was in full force in Ireland, Trevelyan and the British aristocracy insisted on pursuing a policy of increasing Irish exports of beef, corn and other agricultural products back to Britain. Instead of alleviating the suffering by keeping more crops in Ireland, Trevelyan made sure that British policy would speed up the "thinning of the (Irish) stock." From an Irish perspective, Trevelyan is among the most detested British figures in the tumultuous relationship between Britain and Ireland.

Michael's theft of "Trevelyan's Corn" in the Irish folk ballad was an act of rebellion, not larceny. The author was more concerned with keeping the Irish flames of independence alive than telling the tale of a poor rural Irish family. For those of us who had relatives that sailed over on "coffin ships" to America during this era, 'Fields of Athenry' represents an anthem to our ancestors. It is about those who remained in Ireland to resist British tyranny in the struggle for freedom.

What is the history of corn?

Corn, known to much of the world as maize, is a cereal grain domesticated by indigenous peoples in Central America as many as 80,000 years ago. The ancestor of corn may be a Mexican grass called teosinte, and early corn may have looked more like oats, with each individual kernel covered in a husk. The Olmec and Mayans cultivated corn throughout central and southern Mexico. The corn we know today was developed over the centuries. The leafy stalk produces ears that contain fruits called kernels.

Between 1700 and 1250 BC, corn spread through much of the Americas. Native American people thought of corn as a gift of the gods and included it in their religious ceremonies. They called corn, squash, and beans the "three sisters," and they planted them together to form the staples of their diet. Native Americans processed corn by soaking and cooking in an alkaline solution, usually using solutions of lime (calcium hydroxide, not the citrus fruit) and ash (potassium hydroxide). This process made the corn easier to grind, improved its nutritional value, flavor and aroma, and reduced toxins.

Corn was introduced to Europe by Christopher Columbus, and it was grown in Spain as early as 1498. Due to its high yields and adaptability, it quickly spread through Europe, and later to Africa and India. Portuguese colonists grew corn in the Congo as early as 1560, and it remains a major food crop in parts of Africa.

Unfortunately, the process of soaking the corn in lime water did not accompany the grain to Europe and beyond, perhaps because the Europeans already had more efficient milling processes for hulling and grinding grain mechanically. Corn's molecular structure makes at least half of its niacin unavailable to humans. Without alkaline processing, corn is much less nutritious, and pellagra, or niacin deficiency disease, struck many populations who depended on corn as a staple. Pellagra victims suffer from skin eruptions, digestive and nervous disturbances, and mental deterioration. Like many deficiency diseases, it is entirely avoidable by eating a varied, balanced diet.

The sweet corn we know today was discovered in 1779 in an Iroquois village along the Susquehanna River in central New York, but European Americans didn't really start eating corn in large quantities until the 1840s. Today corn is the second most plentiful cereal grain in the world behind rice.

Can you fish with corn?

Maybe

If you know of a fish that likes to eat corn, and your fishing where it lives then yes.

According to my research on this, yes. You can fish with corn, but some fish(such as trout) don't digest it very well. It seems most fishermen use a practice called "chumming" which is throwing out the corn to attract fish and catching them by other means. This practice(while a little unethical in my opinion) isn't illegal as long as too much corn isn't thrown out, otherwise it is considered littering.
