Do you know of a good way to eat a corn cob?

Hahahaha! Bluemoon, you know what I eat mine eactly the same way beside I only cut the corn cob into 2 pieces before I boil it ;) But when it is summer I add aluminium foil around it and put it on the grill - it gets just a tiny bit extra crispy taste.

Hi, bluemoonpavilion! I'm curious about what kind of corn. Here in north China, corn cobs are very hard like wood. Can they be eaten? Or did you waste a lot of gas to boil them for a very long time? Have a nice day and Happy myLotting!

I used to eat mine with butter, but now I just eat it plain. I don't put any salt in the water when I'm boiling it either.

I'm not fond of eating corn, sweetie. But when i do i really look like a little shiny pig when i am done. The tub of butter and the salt shaker, must be at hand. TATA.

Did you know that you can microwave corn on the cob without husking it? It's fast too. Just make sure all the 'silk' is out of it first, because sometimes the silk causes the microwave to spark. I micorwave mine for 60-90 seconds on one side then turn it over and do the same on the other. It's really hot when it's done so wait a bit before husking it. It will be moist and sweet and hardly need anything on it!

I just put butter on it once and make sure the whole thing is covered and then i start eating it till its gone...i will roll it around in some of the melted butter while I'm eating it if i want more.

I usually bite into the kernels of the corn. But my grandmother uses a spoon to remove the kernels from the cob and then after all the kernels are separated from the cob she then eats it plain or with butter.

I only break mine in two and I roll the cob in the butter. There is a pair of implaments you can buy at the Kitchen stores that will do the trick for you. They are shaped like little miniature corn cobs and have two prongs coming out of one end of each of them. You put them in the ends of the cob and hold them as you eat it. You can probably also find them at the dollar store.

After boiling, I poke one end with a fork and then start slicing the corn into a bowl. While it is still hot, I slice off butter on top and let it melt. Then I sprinkle with salt and start mixing it. Then I eat it just like rice.

I used to love my corn on the cob with butter on it. I would put the butter on my plate and just roll the corn in it. But as I get older, I find that I really like the corn plain without any butter or salt or pepper. I really love how sweet the corn is without anything to cover it up. Plus it's less fattening without the butter!

Hello blue LOL My way is totally different, we choose a big size corn, in which the seeds are still soft,then the corn as a whole is fried over coal fire, or electric heater carefully, so as not to burn it, next salt mixed with lemon juice is rubbed over it, so yummy friend, but it must be eaten hot.. Thank you so much for this discussion. Professor ‘Bhuwan’. . God bless you. Welcome always.

I just hold each end and munch, getting butter all down my self!! My husband is more refined, he stands the corn on one end, sticks a fork in the top to hold it down and slices off the kernels with his knife - a lot more refined but not as much fun!!

Wow,so many people like to eat corn with butter,I have not heard of it before!I like to boil it and then eat it directly without any seasoning,I like the original sweet taste.It seems a dish to me using the butter and salt.

hi bmp, i don't like to eat corn on a corn cob. Most time, if I do eat corn at all, the corn will already have been cooked into the dish or as part of a cold dessert. Sorry - I don't have any special method to offer.

hi bluemoonpavilion oh yum corn on the cob and I have to ru n downstairs and eat yucky grey slimy oatmeal? not fair. lol I just cook the ear, cool it butter it, and start at one end and eat and eat and croon and eat and croon oh this is so o o good.Simple wins out for me.must go to breakfast but sadly no corn on the cob.

Hi. bluemoonpavilion. I usually will just add butter and salt to it. I also put black pepper on it too. I will eat the mini corn on the cobs. I have some right now in my freezer. I just will eat it like it is. I will eat it straight across. I don't like when I eat all of the corn on the cob up. This leaves me the hard cob. I can't chew and bite on this!

Holding each end seems to be very satisfying. Adding butter just adds to the fun. It's such a rugged food you never fail to have it on every bbq or camping sessions.

sometimes sfter boil them i just eat them like that.for better taste i will do the same thing like you spread some butter and eat.awesome!sometimes we make some porridge-sweet corn porridge.it is cooked in coconut milk with either white or brown sugar. add some small round dried sago to create that unique texture and flavor to it. A few strips of pandan leave to complete the concoction for special taste and aroma.delicious!!try it out!

Depends how big the corn is. If small I don't have to cut it. And for butter, I don't like too much of it, so I just put a small amount on my corn.

I rub the whole corn with butter and salt. then I eat it sideways like a typewriter.
