How do you say "Indian corn" in French?

[Troy E Bouchard]

Klahowya/Bonjour!

Try "grain indien" on for size.  see how it fits.  As far as I know, Mais is french for "but" (e.g. Mon nom est Troy, mais chacun m'appelle Saghalie) I think maybe you wanted maize?  Maize is the "corn" of the americas considered by some not fit for human consumption (me included)!

L'espoir cela aide! (Hope this helps)

I'm interested to know whether there's some word other than "mais" that's
used for this meaning.
