I probably eat it the type writer method.

 

We just got a bunch of corn from our CSA and it is the best corn I have ever had. We pretty much have just been eating it Mexican style with chili powder, cojita cheese, cilantro and lime. Oh my it is so good. My husband made a whole bunch tonight on the grill. I had 4 pieces already!

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!

The best corn on the cob is New Jersey sweet corn.  It is not summer without it.  I like it with lots of butter and a little salt.  I like it served in my favorite corn cob glass dishes.  I don't like those handles you poke in the ends.  Just pick it up and eat it any way you want.  Oh, I steam it not boil it like some do.  Corn on the cob is the best if your teeth can handle it.

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

Oh @Irshgrl31201 bless you for saying you had four ears of corn as I wolfed down the three I made the other day . . . once I got started I just couldn't stop, I love grilled corn!  Smiley Happy

I go round and round ... just got back from Pensacola Beach, and boy do they ever have the best "sweet corn," as my grandma used to say.
