How do you eat your corn on the cob?

monster · 06-29-2010, 07:26 PM

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.

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

monster · 06-29-2010, 08:39 PM

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.

jinx · 06-29-2010, 09:01 PM

My kids did that when they were younger...

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

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