"Elote" means "corncob", from the Nahuatl language, and is used in Mexico and Central America. "Sweetcorn" is known as "maíz dulce" o "maíz tierno", "elote", "choclo" in South America, and "jojoto" in Venezuela. As far as I know, there is no specific term in Spanish for "feed corn". We would rather describe what corn is used for. "Ñora" is a small red hot pepper named after a village in Murcia (Spain), where it's originally from. They are used widely in eastern Spain, normally after being sun-dried, and they are the basis for Spanish "pimentón". “Habichuelas” is very common in the Caribbean and Spain.
