Properly eating corn on the cob

[Isualum13]

Where is this option?

It depends on my mood. Sometimes I cut it off. Fight me

First, what are you using to cut it off with?

 

[harimad]

One row of kernels at a time?

I've got bit of disordered eating in my history. One way I overcome binges is by eating slowly, and this is just one of the tricks in my bag.

Im not sure he actually 'ate' any of that corn.

I cut the corn off. Less messy, plus I freeze the leftovers and use them in stir frys or casseroles or whatever.

What kind of psychopath cuts the corn off?

Sounds more like an estrogen problem. I'm not JUDGING, I'm just sayin'...

I’m a knife guy. There are a lot of contraptions to cut it off however. I do cut off some to freeze every year

Smoothies too? Maybe in a nice fritatta? That's cute.

Thanks. I also compost the cobs. Good for the environment, you know. And frittatas are awesome. Can't say I've ever heard of sweet corn in a smoothie but I think one of the ice cream places around Des Moines makes a sweet corn flavor every summer. Mixed reviews.

I'm like you but I binge as hard as I can then throw up. Saves the calories AND I get the satisfaction of being ashamed of myself.

On the cob. You do about 4-5 rows at a time, typewriter style.

Calendars, grammar and spell check are awesome, bro.

I have recently encountered a growing number of people cutting it off the cob instead of holding it and eating it like a real Iowan. I understand if you have dental issues that make it difficult. However, it was always meant to be eaten straight off the cob. Nothing completes a summer day in this great state like biting into a fresh cob of salted buttery goodness like that feeling.

The only drawback to eating it straight off the cob is you get little bits of corn stuck in your teeth, but cutting it off is just not the answer unless you're my grandmother and you're canning it.

Some people think you just eat the cob and all

I prefer women eat it like this

I really thought this was going to be the whole row vs column debate. For the record, I like to do a circular 'column' on each end, and then typewriter row the rest.

We do cut corn off the cob in our house, but it's before freezing. Even our 1-yr old now prefers to eat off the cob.

No way. You're Russel Crowe from Gladiator. Didn't you slay a tiger?

 

[ISUTex]

Only cut it off if I'm freezing it. Even then, I probably eat a sandwich bags worth. I love it when it comes off in sheets. Hmmmm.

If you cut it off the cob, its just corn, not corn on the cob. If some one tells me we are going to have corn on the cob and puts a bowl of corn in front of me, we would have a problem. Nothing wrong with cutting it off and saving/freezing it, but at that point its just ******* corn.
