I once was so poor, like a month ago, that I went down to the food bank. They gave me a few stalks of corn. I got it home and couldn't get it to soften and tasted it and realized it was COW CORN, not sweet corn. Big difference, and thanks food bank!

Whoa.

I think I knew that about the French. Maybe they have been eating cow corn!

i'm starting to get really irritated with cute pet pictures with "funny" captions underneath. LEARN TO SPELL YOU STUPID FUCKING ANIMALS!

hey, you can't blame them. it's hard enough for them to learn rudimentary english, much less proper spelling and grammar.

However, in Mexico corn smut is called huitlacoche..., an Aztec word reportedly meaning raven's excrement.

hey - they've been doing it long enough to make me angry at the very sight of the meme - you'd think they'd show SOME improvement!

Dear corn on the cob, why did my father plant only two rows of you this year? Not enough!

Rock Hardy, Wednesday, 25 June 2008 17:51 (fifteen years ago) link

Oh man my favorite thing on corn on the cob is butter+honey+chipotlew/adobo and a squeeze of lime yuuuuuuum

quincie, Wednesday, 25 June 2008 19:38 (fifteen years ago) link

I love corn this year.

Do we get different corn here on the East Coast, I mean corn that is different from the corn in CA? It is so much better. Maybe it's because it's from the Midwest here.

I have yet to have corn on the cob. Need to go buy Doctors brand dental picks first.

The fresh corn on the cob that the BBQ folks were selling at Terrastock was fanfreakingtastic.

Corn on the cob gets in your teeth, man. Don't do it.

Bimble Is Still More Goth Than You, Saturday, 12 July 2008 18:20 (fifteen years ago) link

So does apple skin. The reward is worth the risk.

Oilyrags, Saturday, 12 July 2008 18:24 (fifteen years ago) link

Oh, see now that's not fair. That's not fair at all. I have nothing against apples, man. I love apples. The corn on the cob is harder to get out of your teeth and it gets in between MORE teeth than the apple. It's a totally different thing, yo.

I just got back from my wife's family reunion and had some fantastic corn on the cob that was put up in 2005! My wife's aunt uses a vacuum sealer and that stuff apparently keeps forever that way.

Rock Hardy, Saturday, 12 July 2008 20:10 (fifteen years ago) link

Was it frozen?

It does get in your teeth, but that's why there is floss.

Jesse, Saturday, 12 July 2008 23:26 (fifteen years ago) link

Dear Corn on the Cob - it was real hard cutting off your kernels for smoky corn chowder, but soooo worth it. Our dinner guests will LOVE YOU or else they're weird.

Ai Lien, Saturday, 12 July 2008 23:32 (fifteen years ago) link

Yeah, definitely, sealed then frozen. (xpost)

Dear corn on the cob fresh off the grill at the state fair, dunked in a vat of melted butter, lashed lustily with garlic salt...I think about you often. When can we get back together?

Rock Hardy, Wednesday, 20 August 2008 15:53 (fifteen years ago) link
