I'm guessing it's because corn is in absolutely everything that you don't grow yourself, that it's the new 'can't have' this year for us.
No corn starch, no corn syrup and basically nothing I don't cook myself because it's in everything including ketchup (which guests do ask for).
It's not that I usually use corn (except I make a wicked good corn scone), but it is in lots of things we don't make ourselves - juice, condiments, yogurt, cereal.
I know this isn't a problem for those who cook everything from scratch, but we don't. So these multiple guests get eggs and sausage and nothing else because I can't rely on the bakery not using anything corn-based in breads and croissants.
A head's up - add this one to your list of things you're going to hear about.
