google that too. Its the only way.
Actually eat it any way you want, but you have to boil it to keep that juicy flavor – my wife wants to grill it sometimes. Yuck. What is the point of that ?
OK, except when it comes out of one of those huge rotisseries at a fair or something. Delish.
Comes out perfect every time! Then slather in butter and enjoy.
I am going to try that.
Learned it from my grandmother. Roll it up in wax paper first, and twist both sides to close them off. Saves the moisture.
Leave the husk and silk on, wrap in wax paper, twist ends, my microwave works best at 4 minutes, but it’s old. Remove the paper and the husk and silks peel away easily. Magic.
The answer changes if you are six years old and missing a couple of teeth.
You cut it off the cob first!
That cracks me up.
I’m left to right, moving the eaten rows up and away from me. My boys do the random chomps, which I don’t understand at all.
There is one and only one correct way for humans to eat corn, especially on the cob:
1) Feed the corn, cob and all to a pig, cow or goose. Duck will work in a pinch.
2) Butcher the pig, cow or goose.
3) Cook same and consume, preferably with wine.
Corn is not fit for human consumption.
As a child you must have been given, what we in Illinois called “feed corn” — fit only for animals.
Actually, that would make campaign fodder (pun intended) for you: “I was so poor we only ate feed corn!”
so I can get another before it is all gone
1. Pick you ears carefully. Corn needs to be fresh and properly ripened on the stalk to be optimally sweet (like my wife).
2. It has to be boiled for 15 minutes. No more, no less.
3. Too much salt or butter ruins the naturally delicious corn flavor, so moderation, as in most things, is the key.
4. Eating corn has to be fun, and can have somewhat of a competitive flavor too it, as well. Kinda like peeling an apple all in one continuous action without stop and resulting in the skin in one whole piece.
5. Never waste corn on the cob. Grandma loves it with the kernels cut off, of course, and in a fresh garden salad with little red tomatoes, or make a delicious corn cilantro salsa.
Bon Apetite!
Oh. Sorry. I was reading like an ArapaGOoP.
It’s not how one eats the corn, it’s what one uses the cob for afterwards that counts.
Throw it on the grill and keep turning it slightly, every 30 sec to a minute. You want it to become carmelized. Yum….
I know two people who eat corn randomly–both artistic types. One is my mother, who also reads the ending of the book first-bizarre. Obviously these are genetically determined behavioral alleles–fascinating.
Preferred cooking methods: Start with the freshest, just-picked corn you can find, that is the critical factor.
1. On the grill. Begin with whole ear in the shuck, soak in water 10-15 min or longer, grill medium heat, turning one-quarter turn every 10 min or so, meanwhile drinking beer.
2. Boiled. Shuck and cover ears in cold water in a big pot. Bring to a full boil and hold 30 sec. Remove from heat–perfect! I learned this method from an Illinois farm-girl, it gets the corn done while preserving the sweetness.
that if you just keep an eye on your ears, you can grill them without the so. No need to burn your fingers shucking it afterward.
I haven’t the foggiest idea of how I did that.
I don’t know what ‘around in circles’ means??
In my house you have two methods,
Typewriter or
Toilet paper
We are split evenly on this question.
And my corn will not spend a second past 10 minutes in the water.
To someone who likes it enough to tolerate it sticking in their teeth. I don’t mind corn, but I don’t love it enough to outweigh how much I HATE HATE HATE getting corn between my teeth.
Then while the corn lovers are distracted, I get extra watermelon….
Grilled in the husk until hot, then a couple of minutes more. Butter, salt, eat.
Come on, Olathe Sweet!
Or leave the dinner table to floss right away. And I just can’t tolerate it for more than a few seconds. It’s like nails on a chalkboard, tactile edition.
There’s nothing rude about excusing yourself to take care of something that’s bothersome. Just don’t tell people “I GOTTA BIGASS PIECE O CORN I GOTTA FLOSS OUT” when you go.
How do you butter it? We donate a 1/2 stick of butter to the cause and roll the cobb right on the butter. The little corn-shaped holders help you twirl efficiently. Oh and typewriter of course!
on a typer-writer
definitely spin on the stick of butter – maximizes butter coverage while concentrating on efficiency.
You bring up another question, cob holders or no?
Strictly outlawed in my home.
Fingers only.
Like a true American.

I love that article Canines ! Covers the influence of Mexican cuisine all the way from the Civil war to the food trucks of today – very well worth reading.
Using Denver Post “journalist” Tim Hoover’s logic and math, we have already had hundreds of votes on this poll! (Because there were votes that couldn’t be seen, but I know were there.)
FYI – Bill in Portland on DailyKos.com took my suggestion and ran this poll on July 14, 2008.
