: with corn or with sweetcorn es aun mas usual, corn kernels no es usual, pero en este sitio, yo siempre me vuelco por la especificacion ya que pocas veces se logra ver el contexto litterario mas amplio.

Elote refers to the grilled corn, not the salad!

| thank you all. with corn kernels fits best for my menu. this often used in Mexico, with the corn cooked in boiling water. |

: if they are granos, isn't it already off the cob?

thanks, Wes, I meant to wrap that in parentheses!

| agree |
Paula Strahm
: I'd change it a little to read: mixed salad with grilled corn (because the corn on the salad is not on the cob; it's been sliced off the cob after being grilled. You're right - "delish")

Thank you Paula, see the note to Wes! No longer on the cob.

Michael Kincaid
: I've heard "elote" used refer to corn in general, whether on the plant or prepared in any way....however the menu could be referring specifically to this preparation, which indeed would be delicious, on a salad or a stick!

Thanks Michael, I always had the elote on a cob/on a stick & it was always roasted/grilled ...

Juan Jacob
: Cuidado, hay elotes asados y elotes hervidos... en caso de una ensalada, no creo que sea "grilled".

: This sounds like something I would pick from a menu, above most of the other options listed, but I don't see fresh or topped in there... if this translation is for a menu, I would prefer this option. (I guess I may as well agree, after the fact)

Thanks for the suggestion Wes..."topped" because "bathed" or "covered" wouldn't really make sense in this context. Fresh is of course something of a guess, but what other options do you see being likely...boiled? dried? canned?

: this one is actually the best one.

Carol Gullidge
: yes, topped or topping is more "gastronomic" than covered
