How do you eat your corn on the cob?
 

When I served it at lunch the other day/week, one of my friends noted that two of us ate it typewriter-style and two corkscre style.

How do you eat yours?

Typewriter. With "butter" and habanero sauce. RFN

and if typewriter or corkscrew, left to right or right to left?

I'm a left to right typewriter-style, with butter. And it's all gone RFN but was yummeh.

right to left

like teh plate.

All I want for X-mas it my two front teeth. So I can eat corn off cob:smack:

that corkscrew style should read all the way round. 3-5 rows at a time....

Lawn mower style.

That does look mighty tasty.

I cut it off the cob with a knife--ideally cut very close to the cob so that it comes off in sections you can pick up with your fingers.

My kids did that when they were younger...

That's a good job, letting your younger children play with knives.

ditto

I try to avoid eating corn...too much flossing required afterwards.

That's why they give you all those little strings.

Ah. But do you spread the butter on with a knife or roll it on a stick of butter?

roll it

Depends. If there is a small stick or enough people to warrant a full stick, do that. If not, cut it and use a fork to smear it all over. Then use salt and pepper to heart's delight :)

Type-writer style + switchbacks. If I start on the left, then I go from left to right, right to left, left to right, etc. Like an S shape.

I go both ways

I remember a movie that came out in the '80s where the man buttered some bread and rolled the corn in the bread, I tried it, it works. As for me I'm waiting for the yellow truck with locally grown sweet corn YUUUM YUM!!!

Oh yeah, Although I usually just take a hunk of butter and use the bread to hold it while I paint the corn.

Oh yeah!

Typewriter, left to right, repeat.

I let the small dog finish off the bits of corn I haven't removed.

I dont think it has any flavour!! (I picked I HATE THE STUFF)

I only eat canned corn (Organic sweet corn)

I'm a butter on the bread, then paint the corn kind of girl too. Learned from Dad when I was small. Then a light coat of table salt (iodized) and enjoy.

Miracle Whip with chilie powder and parm cheeze.

!!!!

Now Pete informs me the Texicans do something similar.

Say what now? I've never heard of it, but Mr. Clod says he's eaten something like that before, though he wasn't aware of the individual ingredients until now.

Pete's people use mayonnaise, chili powder, and cotija cheese.

Sounds good but may be a waste of corn on the cob.

I got the idea from Mexican street vendors.

Well played!

I really miss having a small dog

How do you eat your corn on the cob?
 

Infrequently.

Pete's Alzheimery step-Dad has a little dog now to comfort him. Dogs evolved with us, they are a must have around the home fire.
