If it's just me and my son at home I eat it off the cob....if around others I cut it off the cob.

      Lots of butter and salt for me.  No parmesean cheese.  Smells and tastes like vomit to me.  It is one of the few cheeses that I don't like.  Oh, and typewriter style for me too.


I agree. Corn on the cob definitely needs butter and salt. If I needed to stop eating fats for weight loss or health reasons, I would skip corn on the cob altogther. We used Irish butter tonight on the corn. It has a higher fat content and is delish!


@Irshgrl31201  Why don't you at least try it once before you agree?


Hey @Pearlee! I have tried it before without butter. I just do not care for it at all without butter and salt. Butter most definitely makes it. I have also put parm on it. I do like it with the parm if it has butter but definitely not without. No, I wouldn't have commented had I not tried it. I am an adventurous eater and I try anything at least once.
