Typewriter style?
Round N' Round?

DH and I noticed last night that we are totally different. He is a like a beaver on a log! He eats the middle, then works his way out to the ends while turning the cob.

I go right to left, like a typewriter, and only start the next row when I am at the end.


Give it some thought! I bet the world can be divided by corn eating habits!

Right to left?? That's just wrong!! Left to right, that's the way to do it.

How I wish I could sink my teeth into some fresh sweet corn! A couple more months!!

Hm-m-m well, I kind of attack it in sections...so round and round I guess.

My husband on the other hand eats it cut off!! He loves it, but hates trying to eat it off because of the alignment of his teeth. So, I cut it off for him...or he does if he made it!

I'm like a typewriter, left to right.

DH goes round & round on the ends to make "handles" then like a typewriter in between!

We had fresh sweet white corn this week. It was soooo good. I noticed that my kids eat it left to right. I refuse to be orderly about my corn. I take bites wherever and turn it and take another bite. DH turns it as he eats it.

I'm a left to right kind of gal, and I only eat 4 rows at a time. Not sure on dh as I don't care to watch him eat corn on the cob. My girls eat it so it looks as if someone shot bullets thru it, chunks taken out here and there.

I'm a typewriter too!

We had corn last night and usually the kids devour it, but they didn't eat much. I had a couple left over so I was going to make some corn chowder and I was cutting it off the other 2 that were left and the kids noticed the big pieces and ate half the plate. No corn chowder for grandpa.

My dad is SO annoying when he eats corn on the cob... it's left to right, 2-3 rows at a time, BUT he has to stop after each set of rows and butter and salt the next section. I wonder why we just dont get him his own butter and salt?

I do left to right like a typewriter, too.

I VERY weird.....

OK I never eat corn on the cob with anything on it, or even warm...I usually put a piece aside for later, inthe evening. I'll sit down on the sofa curled up wathcing tv, and I'll take one piece off at a time with my fingers and eat it slowly like this...sort of just picking/twisting off each kernal.....no butter no salt nothing....takes awhile to eat the whole piece too... I know I know pretty weird...BUT my mom saw me do this and says its just like how her mom did it!!

Am I anal if I get this one wrong? !
LOL!

I eat corn round and round, but not in a set pattern...and not typewriter style...

Here's another one for everybody.. do you use those little prong thingys in the ends of your corn or wait for it to cool and hold it with your fingers?

Hey, so you had Corn on the Cob for the big day?! Did he grill out for ya?
What else? Did you get any cool stuff?
By the way, I saw Suz trying to profit selling the secret number.. I would have told for free!

Left to right....typewriter style....with lots of butter, no salt.

hold it like a corn-on-a-stick because we don't boil them.

leave them in the husk (no need to soak in water), nuke each ear for 4 minutes, peel like a banana, butter and salt it, and ouila...done. instant handle.

otherwise, we aren't proud...we use a fork on each end.

Ok.. I know at one time or another I've been told, There is no such thing as a dumb question....
but I'm gonna ask a question that may seem "dumb"... How do you wash them before you eat them?
Do you peel the husk back, scrub and then try to wrap it back up? Do you have to "tie" the end with something to keep the husk back up around it to seal in steam or something?

Thanks for the cooking lesson.. I'll try it sometime instead of boiling. (yes, I did catch Alton Brown on FOODTV saying never add Salt to your water as you boil corn because it makes it tough - but we still boil with straight water)

Same here...except WITH salt.

We're having corn on the cob tonight...along with meat loaf and french fries.

I eat it typewriter style and messy. I eat a row right to left then dip it in the butter I have on my plate rinse repeat til it is gone. We don't use corn skewers we use our fingers and by the time I am done I have butter between my fingers and all over my face and hands no matter how hard I try to keep them clean with a napkin. But you know what? That is part of the fun of eating corn on the cob for me the mess.

I don't eat it anymore. Tooo carby for me. I was just talking to my oldest daughter last night and I swear it is like a carb per kernel!I will miss it this summer tho.

You don't wash it...I just peel off the outer layer of husks, the darkest green ones. Trim the top...the silk and husk to the top of the corn with scissors. Nuke it for about four minutes. Peel and eat. The silk comes right off! Very tasty!
