Fresh Corn

[Hovannes]

The season just started here and we cooked some last night.
Fresh from a farm stand---a few ears of yellow and a few ears of white,
just to see which was going to be sweeter this year.
Yellow won!
It was delicious.
I can't wait for the Watermelon.

It is uncivilized to brag about your food and not have a picture of it.

It's June where I live

Sadly, most corn is GMO, and ergo, off limits for me. My head would swell up and look like an upside-down bowl of a Devil Anse if I had a go of it.

I'd love to see some cobs made from all that detritus @tbradsim1 ! Of course, the thread would have to get relocated to the Pipe Talk section at that point.

Yes, watermelon, that's just around the corner too. Our horse loves the rinds!

I’m on the East End of Long Island and we have fantastic local corn but it won’t be available for another 3-5 weeks.

Southern California into Baja California. They siphon water from Colorado and make it possible to buy sweet corn year round.

Had some here in FL last night. Rather mediocre. Hard to beat the sweet corn and tomatoes grown in Indiana.

Corn on the cob drenched in what might be butter at Capt. D any time of the week I want. I like 'em, just not too choosey x)

The best, sweetest corn I ever had was purchased at a roadside stand in Michigan many years ago in the '90s.

NJ and MD has good corn. I like silver queen but prefer if it were called silver aristocrat or silver royalty.

As a michigander, we used to pick up sweet corn at roadside stands frequently (along with cherries and other produce).

Good eats at a reasonable price, sometimes using the honor system to pay.

I grew up in farm country and miss the sweet corn unattended by the roadside, on a picnic table with a hand painted sign, and a coffee can to put the money in.

We still have a few "honor system" stands around here. The only difference is instead of a coffee can, it's usually a metal lockbox bolted down to a table or farmers wagon.

I can’t wait for the local sweet corn to hit the farmers market. Should be in a couple weeks. There is no substitute

Sadly i could be heading to Marblehead Island in Ohio for a cigar herf next week and they grow some of the best corn I’ve ever had up there.

NJ and MD have the best corn!

I have to limit myself to 3 ears at a time or it causes me intestinal distress.

It was drilled into my head by my dear maternal Grandmother that small kernels are the best but I actually prefer medium starchy ones.

Silver Queen, is my favorite.

I never eat corn in a public setting as I find watching people I don't know eating corn to be disturbing. Corn on the cob I mean.

edit: I realized after I wrote this that I previously replied with some of the same sentiments. At least I'm consistent!

You could grow your own non-GMO corn next years. Maybe I will try my hand at something like this.

Corn, Glass Gem Popping

105 days. Amazing color! Indescribably beautiful flint or popcorn comes in an endless range of colors. The translucent kernels really do shine brilliantly like glass—on the cob they resemble strands of glass beads! The 3- to 8-inch ears are not only decorative, but edible and delicious as well...
