What's the deal with people just dumping corn on a plate?

It's a weird abstracted American thing. Basically a long held core dish of stereotypical American cooking (read: Midwestern Cooking) has been corn with butter, salt and pepper. Sometimes you have variants with Cayenne, Johnny salt, old bay, etc. But then when you get people who are like "we need to make all this poo poo healthy but I can't learn new or interesting meals to make" so you end up with literally just corn on a plate because :effort:. At least by the geometric shape of those kernels I'm pretty sure it's fresh corn thats been cut from a real corn cob, which is really just how you ruin a good corn on the cob but each to their own.

Tomato skins are similarly indigestible.

I think what's throwing people off is that it looks like the corn is the main food on the plate. Like, it's just corn and a side of tomato. It took me a while to even notice that there's some fish or something hiding under that leaf.

So some corn out of a can, a bit of diced tomato, and a couple slices of lemon :wtc:. I'm not sure what the leaf is but it looks like it was blanched, at least.

My guess is:

Corn from a McCains packet of microwave corn (this is acceptable in a working household if you're busy though, it ain't that bad)
Diced raw tomato with some pepper.
Two halves of two DIFFERENT lemons for some reason.
A piece of over cooked skinless boiled fish.

That is depressing and I'm the guy who is eating some microwaved peas, oven baked potato and a couple of sausages on the barbie with a slice of bread american mustard and some fried onions. And THAT'S depressing food in general.

Cooking instructions:

Boil the fish fillet for 63 hours. Garnish the resulting culinary atrocity with a soggy leaf you found trapped in the gutters on your house and some random pieces of lemon left over from other dishes. Serve room-temperature with canned corn and diced tomatoes.

Oh, poo poo, I think it's a lemon half and a lemon slice. I mention this only because it is the weirdest thing. Also, I think that leaf is just from a random houseplant.

You can get frozen vegetables that steam-cook in the bag when they're put in the microwave for a minute or two.

These are surprisingly not awful most of the time. They're way better than any sort of canned vegetable at least. There's even versions that have rice that are decent, especially if you add a little butter into the bag

Also flash-frozen instead of slow-frozen like in your fridge; this helps them retain fresh texture when thawed/cooked.

Yeah the disaster on that plate is the fish. The corn looks...boring but otherwise inoffensive and might be quite good if a little salt or sugar was brought to the party. The tomatoes are at least evenly sliced/etc, but the fish is clearly unseasoned and just topped with a weird bay leaf or something.
