I was just thinking yesterday that I really want corn ice cream. I don’t know why, it was just some urge to taste the icy kernels of yellow corn in a milky, snow-like mix and encased in a crappy styrofoam like case. The thing was, I tried and I tried to find it, but I couldn’t.

LAME.

Hey if anyone has seen this ice cream, please send me a comment.

    I realize that this is really late but…

    I found this same corn ice cream at the local market in my neighborhood in Myeongnyun-dong, near Hyehwa. I had been looking for it since I first read your original post–it was yummy.

    Just a heads up!
