Hablando de cáscaras, les tengo una adivinanza--

Le quitas la parte de afuera y hierves la parte de adentro. Luego comes la parte de afuera y tiras la parte de adentro. Es una comida, técnicamente una fruta. ¿Qué es?

But is there no catch? ¿No tiene truco?... Nunca he tenido paciencia para las adivinanzas... Pero quiero saber la respuesta, please , pretty please. I love using these things in class, and some of my students are really good at working them out, but of course, I always have the answer key...

Es la mazorca o el elote. No sé cuál de las dos palabras se usa en México. En Centro América, es el elote. La planta se le llama maíz y creo que todos usan esa palabra. (An ear of corn (corn on the cob).)
