They may not have ketchup for your chips, Joe, but I sure wish some US farmers would take a leaf (or an ear as the case may be) from the Canadian folk and run "Hot Buttered Corn" wagons out there in the acres and acres of corn. Order it up, and someone runs out the back side of the wagon, picks an ear, shucks it, and drops it in the boiling water. A few minutes later, buttered and salted and impaled on a stick, there's a fresh ear of corn on the cob. MMmmmm.
Only way to buy corn, at least before the SuperSweets. Regular sweet corn converts most of its sugar to starch in something under a day, even refrigerated.
So bring your own ketchup. Nobody's perfect.
Blessings,
