“Poor little parrot, killed by the high temperatures..”
“Ah no, it’s a corn”
There’s a pun here, too! While elote does translate to an “ear of corn”, it’s more specifically used as a term describing a popular street and/or food truck dish of grilled corn with a creamy sauce, chili powder, and maybe some lime, etc, called “street corn”.
A single corn cob in the middle of the road? Elote. Street corn.
