corn curd

[sagehen]

Googling "corn curd" yields (among refs to its inclusion in various mixed
dishes) the following:
"Scrape corn from the cobs and boil in salted water till tender. Cook rice
in salted water till half done and remove from fire. Now add curd and lemon
juice "............
Perhaps it is "curd" rather than simply cut corn, because scraping  pulps
the kernels to some degree, often dislodging the germ and mashing the
starchy component. Just a WAG.
