[fizzgig]

3. you calling me fat?!?!?!

[jpak]

5. You think so?

I live in Maine, but I used to have relatives in Minnesota. I thought Minnesota had probably the best tasting corn. It was always very cheap there too. It was always a treat to have corn out in Minnesota. I thought Maine corn was bland in comparison. Also, cheese from Wisconsin (right next door) was good too.

6. Nope.

Three words: Olathe Sweet Corn. Kansas. (OK, four words.)

11. The native corn came in this week

Bought 2 ears at the local farm stand - big fat organic ears.

so sweet it was almost too much.

Add salt and fat = sinful

yum

yup

12. Lucky!

Last year, I ate it straight off the farm/market, raw, not cooked, salted or buttered!

14. I roasted mine on the BBQ

Pulled back the husk - stripped off the silk.

Re-wrapped the husk and put them in the upper basket while the (local) pork chops and eggplant were grilling below.

They were dessert.

8. Teasing us with great corn and no pics?

You're just a big tease.

[jpak]

13. Here ya go

?strip=all

[Submariner]

15. Ditto -- I 2nd that

Picked fresh and boiled, already pre-sea salted from the ocean spray, with melted butter the kernels just POP in your mouth with with sweet Maine corn flavor.

A lot better than that mid-west cattle feed we get during the off season.

9. Is sweet corn supposed to be yellow or white?

When I have bought it at the store here in Maryland (not sure where it comes from), it was white. Now, growing up in Minnesota, it was always yellow, and had flavor. This stuff the other day was bland.

[jpak]

10. I've have both and mixed yellow and white in Maine

all wicked good

Finest Kind.

yup
